Power generation in India rose from a meager 1,362 MW in 1947 to over 76,700 MW in 1994. The industry is committed to add 140,000 MW by 2010 to address the current gap in demand and supply of power as well as to meet the industrial growth of the country. The properties of Indian coal are different from those of the Western countries like USA, UK etc. The difference stems from their separate geological origins. Indian coal is basically of permian age with minor tertiary types, compared to the carboniferous coals of the Western countries. Perhaps the most significant property of Indian coal is its high ash content derived from the preponderance of sedimentation based minerals, intimately dispersed in the coal matrix. This paper describes an Indo-US partnership program for a trial application of a cost effective US technology of SO3 conditioning to an Indian power plant with the objective of transferring the technology to India.
