Experience in operating Coal-fired thermal power plant

This is the topic of a technical workshop co-organized by EVN and Steag Power Minerals (Germany), Hoang Son Fly Ash & Cement Joint Stock Company on 26 February 2020 in Hanoi.

The workshop focused on discussing 2 main contents: Improving the reliability of equipment and process of treating by-products in the Coal-fired thermal power plant.

According to Mr. Ta Tuan Anh, Deputy Head of EVN Technical – Manufacturing Department, the Group is managing and operating 12 Coal-fired thermal power plants. In 2020, due to a difficult hydrological situation, the Coal-fired thermal power plants (TPP) will be mobilized to operate over 7,000 hours/year. Hence, it is vital to develop effective solutions to improve the readiness, the availability of equipment and thermal generator sets, at the same time associating production with environmental protection.

In the group, 100% of thermal power plants/companies have currently developed and deployed the project of consuming ash, slag and gypsum in accordance to the project proposal form issued by the group. The plants/companies have signed short-term and long-term ash, slag and gypsum consumption contracts with partners.

Workshop organized online from group’s headquarter connecting with TV points of EVN’s power generation corporations and coal-fired TPP

At the seminar, experts of Steag Power Minerals Company focused on sharing experiences in resolving fly ash of TPP such as standards for evaluation and classification of fly ash; the process of its storage, transportation and treatment; application of fly ash in the cement and artificial gypsum production, etc. At the same time, exchanging solutions to optimize the operation and maintenance of equipment in TPP.

Concluding the workshop, EVN Deputy General Director Nguyen Tai Anh highly appreciated the useful sharing by Steag Power Minerals Company. The two parties will continue to promote the opportunities for specialized cooperation and organize field trips at some TPP.

The Group’s leaders assigned EVN’s specialized units to check the maintenance and repairing process at the plants; the process related to ash and slag treatment to protect the environment and research and promote the application of information technology in managing and operating TPP.
