INTRODUCTION
Thermal Power Plants (TPPs) convert the energy content of an energycarrier (fuel) into either electricity or heat.
The type of power plant employed depends on the source of energyand type of energy being produced.
Possible fuel sources include:Fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum products and natural gasResidual and waste materials such as domestic and industrialrefuse and fuel made from recovered oil Fissionable material (the scope of this document do not includefissionable material)
The type of facility and size of thermoelectric projects, as well astechnological configuration of generation system and also other
associated facilities besides, environmental and social concerns of plantlocation, will determine the nature and intensity of environmentalimpacts of proposed TPP facility.

EMISSION STANDARS FOR THERMAL POWER PLANTS
FOR COAL BASED TPPs:
Power Generation capacity Particulate matter emission
Less than 210 MW 350 mg/Nm3
210 MW or more 150 mg/Nm3
Depending upon the requirement of local situations, which maywarrant stricter standards as in case of protected areas the StatePollution Control Board and other implementing agencies within theprovisions of the EPA, 1980 may prescribe limit of 150 mg/Nm3 irrespective
of the generation capacity of the plant.
Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board and Delhi Pollution ControlCommittees have stipulated stringent standards of 115 and 50 mg/Nm3
respectively for control of particulate matter emission.

EMISSIONS CONTROL-AVAILABLE MEASURES
Current Indian environmental standards require particulate emissions to
be less than 150mg/m3 but there are no emission standards for NOx andSO2.
Consequently, all coal-based TPSs have installed Electrostatic Precipitators(ESPs) for particulate control. These ESPs have collection efficiencies in therange of 98-99.6% in order to meet the emissions standards.
With the developments in bag filter media and cleaning technologies,particularly for coals giving rise to high resistivity fly ash, bag filters are nowconsidered as a viable and cost effective alternative for particulateemission control.
The first step in any NOx emission control strategy is to optimise plantoperation through interventions that reduce excess air, and fine-tune theboiler. Other combustion modification strategies include Low-NOx Burners(LNB), Overfire Air (OFA), Flue gas recirculation, and reburning.

SO2 control technologies are basically of three types: Dry SorbentInjection, Spray Dry Scrubbers and Wet Scrubbers.
In India in most of the coal based power plants, the ash slurry isdischarged into ash ponds. Therefore disposal of fly ash and bottom ash isextremely water- and land-intensive. It causes diversion of fertile lands forash ponds and unsustainable water usage. The Ministry of Environment andForests, Government of India, has stipulated that all new coal-based powerplants should indicate a plan for utilization of the ash while submitting the
EIA/EMP for approval.
