Description

Description

When Coal is grounded or broken into fine particles using a device called powdered coal mill, the resultant coal obtained is called powdered coal or pulverized coal.[1]

Pulverized coal firing ensures complete combustion of coal, thus ensuring higher efficiency of steam generators. It is predominantly adopted in large coal-fired utility boilers. The finer the grinding of coal, the more efficient its combustion.[2]
