Bituminous Coal provides high heat but low sulfur. It is used globally to produce electricity.

BLCP Power Station uses bituminous coal, imported from Australia and Indonesia, and converts to energy.

Types of Coal
1 | Anthracite | best quality, high heat, low sulfur, used in the steel industry
2 | Bituminous | high heat, low sulfur used for producing electricity and other industries
3 | Sub-Bituminous | average heat and sulfur used in general industries
4 | Lignite | low heat, high humidity and sulfur used in general industries

 

BLCP Power Station is designed to cause minimal pollution and continuously monitor and control emissions to levels required by both international and government standards.

The Coal Unloading Facility

is adjacent to the BLCP Power Station (does not extend into deep sea) and uses semi-closed-to closed mechanical belt conveyor and water sprays to prevent the spread of dust.

The Coal Stockpile

BLCP Power Station uses a wind fence, compaction of dead stock with grass covered, water sprays and a row of trees for wind and dust protection.

BLCP Power Station

BLCP Power Station generates 1,434 Megawatts of power using about 3.64 million tons of good quality of bituminous coal per year and installed with Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD), Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) , Low NOx Burner, waste water treatment system and environment management equipment at a cost of over 14,000 million baht or 25% of total investment.
