Had an insightful industrial visit to Tata Power Trombay Thermal Power Plant ⚡

Testing Services

🔹 The plant operates at 250 MW capacity with an efficiency of around 36%, mainly limited due to heat losses (especially latent heat).

🔹 Seawater is used as a primary water source, which is then demineralized before use. Boiler water is maintained slightly alkaline (pH ~8.5–9.5) to prevent corrosion.

🔹 Coal is stored in bunkers and used as fuel to generate steam in the boiler.

🔹 The entire power generation system is based on three key parameters: pressure, temperature, and flow.

Components like HP, IP, and LP turbines work together to drive the generator.
