ACKNOWLEGDEMENT
This present report would not have been
possible without the help; I have received from
various quarters of the company. I extend a
special thanks to Mr. Adewale Shino; the
training division supervisor and Mrs. Rita. S.
Ogunbor for their guidance and special kind of
operation throughout the duration of my
training. I also convey my special thanks to
all staff members for plant familiarization and
understanding various plant processes.
INTRODUCTION.
Egbin power station commenced operations in
1985 with two 220 MW steam turbines each having
its own dual fuel gas/oil fired boiler. Two
additional and similar 220 MW units were
commissioned in 1986 and a further 2 in 1987
bringing the total installed capacity of the
facility to 1320 MW. Egbin Power PLC was
incorporated on November 8th 2005 owning all of
the assets of the station.
3. Waste control
The site must have the facility for the control
and management of emitted fumes. Since the
power plant is situated at the outskirt of the
commercial state the large amount of fumes
emitted daily won’t be much of a problem to the
residential areas nearby.
2. Water
Water for the power station is supplied by the
water corporation. This water is lifted as raw
water is stored in big wells where it is sent
for the treatment for removing turbidity in
water. In the water treatment plant it
undergoes many process and at last we get pure
and dematerialized water, this water is stored
in the DM water tanks from where the
dematerialized water sent to the boiler and the
filtered water which is not dematerialized is
sent to plant and colony for personal use with
the help of portable pumps.
FUNTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POWER PLANT.
THE BOILER.
The boiler comes in the form of an enclosed
vessel where the combustion process takes place
and the heat is then transferred to the water
until it turns to steam. The steam under
pressure then transfers the heat to the
process.
When water is boiled into steam its volume
increases about 1,600 times, producing a force
that is almost as explosive as gunpowder. This
causes the boiler to be extremely dangerous
equipment that must be treated with utmost
care.
The boiler system comprises of feed water
system, steam system and fuel system.
The feed water system provides water to the
boiler and regulates it automatically to meet
the steam demand. Various valves provide access
for maintenance and repair.
The steam system collects and controls the
steam produced in the boiler. Steam is directed
through a piping system to the point of use.
Throughout the system, steam pressure is
regulated using valves and checked with steam
pressure gauges.
The fuel system includes all equipment used to
provide fuel to generate the necessary heat.
The equipment required in the fuel system
depends on the type of fuel used in the system.
THE ECONOMISER.
Economisers, or are mechanical devices that
reduce energy consumption, or to perform
another useful function like preheating a
fluid. The term economiser is used for other
purposes as well.
In simple terms, an economizer is a heat
exchanger.
