better use of fly-ash. It has entered into a collaboration with the Indo-Norwegian
Environment Programme (INEP) and has set up a technology demonstration center called CASHUTEC (Center for Ash Utilization and Environment Conservation) near its plant. CASHUTEC demonstrates different uses for fly ash; mainly its use in the construction sector for making bricks, blocks and mosaic tiles.

The coal supplied is sampled using a computerized system and sent to the laboratory for testing. This ensures that the proper grade of coal is used.

elements in the furnaces, but about 2% of fly-ash gets into the atmosphere. The fly-ash is disposed of by converting it into a wet slurry and dumping it into vacant tracts of land (which become what are known as ash-ponds). This is not environment friendly and hence RTPS has come up with ways to make

which can be dangerous to public health. The fly-ash which gets generated during the burning of coal disperses into the air and hence pollutes the atmosphere. This gets deposited on the surrounding land, thereby making the land infertile. The fly-ash may also cause breathing problems for humans. RTPS

The coal is pulverized and fed into furnaces that convert water into steam. This steam runs the turbines to generate electricity. Units 1 to 7, each can produce 5.04 MU of energy per day and Unit 8 can produce 6 MU per day, hence the plant can produce 41.28 MU of energy per day when it is functioning

Units 5 and 6 (each of 210 MW) were installed within three years. Unit 7 (210 MW) which was completed within a record time of 25 months, was installed at the end of the year 2002 The total installed capacity of the power plant is 1,470 MW (7 x 210 MW). As of 2007, Unit 8, with an installed capacity

company was appointed as the consultants for the project. The project involved two stages: Stage I, in which Units 1 and 2 were expected to be installed and Stage II, Units 3 and 4. each unit was expected to have an installed capacity of 210 MW. An area of 300 hectares was allocated for the units.

The construction of Unit III was started in 1986 and completed in March 1991 and the Unit IV was started in 1989 and completed in
September 1994, thereby completing the Stage II. The total cost of Stage I of the project was
