How is coal delivered to TSI and what is the capacity of the ship unloader?
-Coal is delivered to TSI via ships, and a massive track-mounted ship unloader transfers the coal to a conveyor system beneath it, capable of transferring 1,500 tons of coal from the ship per hour.
What is the purpose of the Coliseum-like coal dome and its capacity?
-The coal dome serves as a storage facility for coal, spanning more than 11,000 square meters, and can hold up to 200,000 metric tons of coal.
How does the stacker reclaimer inside the coal dome contribute to the blending process?
-The stacker reclaimer distributes the coal evenly inside the dome, allowing for blending to achieve the desired burning potential.
What is the role of limestone in the CFB technology used at TSI?
-Limestone is fed into the furnace with coal and reacts with sulfur dioxide gases, helping to reduce harmful emissions and making the process more environmentally friendly.
How does the steam generated at TSI contribute to electricity production?
-The steam, hot enough to melt zinc, powers huge steam turbines, which are connected to a generator, converting mechanical energy into electricity.
What measures does TSI take to ensure workplace safety?
-TSI implements procedures and workflow systems to ensure an efficient, productive, and safe working environment.
How does TSI manage its byproducts and emissions to protect the environment?
-TSI uses a cyclone collector to return ash and unburned fuel to the combustible chamber, a state-of-the-art air quality control system to ensure non-toxic emissions, and a high voltage system to catch airborne ash particles. Byproducts like gypsum from limestone are used as building material, and the steam is recovered through a condenser using seawater that is returned to the Davao Gulf.
Outlines
🌐 Thermos South: Powering Mindanao with CFB Technology
Thermo South, Inc. operates a modern coal-fired power plant on Mindanao Island, providing baseload power capacity to the region. The plant, covering 75 hectares, is the first of its kind in the area to use Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) technology, which is a cleaner way to generate power from coal. The plant's storage facility, likened to a Coliseum, can hold up to 200,000 metric tons of coal. The coal is processed and blended to achieve the desired burning potential, then crushed and transported to the boiler furnace. The CFB technology is used to harness the energy from coal to produce heat, which generates steam from water. This steam powers turbines, which in turn generate electricity. The plant's operation is designed to be environmentally friendly, with limestone being used to absorb sulfur dioxide, and a cyclone collector and air quality control system ensuring minimal emissions.
🏭 Environmental and Workplace Safety at Thermo South
Thermo South, Inc. prioritizes environmental protection and workplace safety. The plant uses advanced technology to capture and manage emissions, including a high voltage system to catch airborne ash particles and a 150-meter tall stack to release treated gases. The steam from the turbines is condensed using seawater, which is then returned to the Davao Gulf. The plant also ensures a safe working environment with established procedures and workflow systems. TSI is committed to fueling growth and powering the region while caring for the environment, showcasing its role as a responsible energy provider.
