Power Generation Scenario (INDIA)
* Installed capacity:187549.62 MW
* Contribution of thermal power : 123758.98MW (66%
of total) [72%]
* 85% of total thermal power is coal based, [90%]
* During 2011-12 the coal consumption ( power) =415
million ton (against 253 million ton in 2002-03),
i.e., CAGR: 5.65%
* Ash content of Indian coals : 30-50%
* For Developing Clean energy production mechanism
different steps have already been taken under the 12th five year
plan programme
* Clean energy Development- Brightest side of power
generation
*Huge Fly ash generation – Darkest Side of electricity
generation .
Fly ash utilisation (INDIA): ~ 40% of total FA generation

Progress of fly ash utilization in India also appears to be very
significant in respect of huge production and several constraints
towards implementation of utilization strategies.
(India -highest producer of fly ash in the world ?? )
What are necessary:
* Awareness about the Social, technological and commercial issues
*Confidence building for fly ash utilization in different sectors
(viz., Cement products, building bricks, Agriculture and as Fill
material)
*Continual improvement of fly ash disposal technology
Different modes of FA utilisation
•Cement blending,
• Building materials
•Mine filling
•Road and pavement construction
•Agriculture/soil amendment
•Concrete and mortar
•Light weight aggregate
•Manufacture of asbestos products
•Embankment / Land development
•Floor and wall tiles
•Refractory bricks / tiles
•Paint Industry
•Domestic scouring Powder ,etc
Contribution of CSIR-CIMFR ( Formerly, CFRI and CMRI)
Mine filling
Embankment / Land development,
Agriculture
Manufacturing of value added products
(bricks, tiles, etc.).
CFRI’s Fly ash Brick making technology
Lime bonded fly ash bricks (Steam curing, Accelerator),
CCS ~100-150 kg/cm2, BD ~1.55 g/cc, water absorption
~20%,
Durable under the saline condition.,
Saving in cement consumption : ~ 30% in plastering
~20% in Mortar.
The process/ technology received NRDC award, CSIR
technology award and Bangur Memorial award.
The process was patented and commercialized.
CFRI’s Fly ash Brick making technology
In 1986, first commercial plant - Jagaddhatri Brick
Industries Pvt. Ltd. ( Barrackpore) - 20, 000 bricks / day
Second plant - M/S Bright Bricks Pvt. Ltd. at Raichur,
Karnataka- capacity 30000 bricks/ day
Thirumala Fly ash Tech Pvt. Ltd - Vijaywada
M/s S. S. Brick Field (P) Ltd.- Bandel
The Biggest plant : Pulver Ash Projects Ltd. , Bandel,
capacity: 90,000 bricks per day
Past contribution of CFRI continues:
The Institute developed water curing technique
Durability parameters of FA bricks were examined by CFRI
The institute worked for the promotion of fly ash based brick
manufacturing at different locations
and
addressed different problems and concerns.
The institute has got patented process on ‘Fly ash based
Domestic Scouring Powder’.
Utilisation potential of Fly ash:
depends on characteristics of available fly ash from
different power plants
Typical Characteristics of Indian Fly ash:
SiO2: 49-67%, Al2O3: 16-29%, Fe2O3: 4-10%, CaO: 1-4%,
MgO: 0.2-2%, TiO2: 1-2%, SO3: 0.1-2% alkalies: 1-2%,
Unburned Carbon: 0.1 – 15%, Density (gm/cc): 1.9 -2.4;
Particle size (micron): 8-22
Future technological advancement Vs some concerns
Super critical/ ultra-supercritical technology
Co-combustion technology ,
Oxy-fuel technology, etc.
Growing consumption of imported coals in blends with
Indian coals
Fly ash characteristics are going to change ??
Fly ash utilization strategy to Change
Fly ash utilization aspects may be reviewed in respect of
envisaged changes in power generation technology
