PROCESS DESIGN FOR A 120 MW (GROSS) CO-GENERATION THERMAL POWER PLANT BASED ON BAGASSE AND COAL FUEL

Abstract

This project aims to design a co-generation thermal power plant with a gross capacity of 120MW, which will be fueled by a combination of bagasse and coal. Bagasse, a byproduct of sugar production, will be used as the primary fuel, while coal will be used as a backup fuel to ensure uninterrupted power generation. The proposed plant will use a steam turbine generator to produce electricity and will utilize a cogeneration system to produce both electricity and process heat. The design of the power plant will incorporate various components such as a boiler, a steam turbine, a generator, and auxiliary equipment, along with associated systems. The project aims to optimize the overall efficiency of the plant. The process design of the proposed power plant includes its specifications, equipment selection, and layout, along with a cost analysis and a risk assessment.
