Bharat Book Presents"Indian Coal Washing Industry". Coal is the key contributor to the Indian energy portfolio. It contributes to nearly half of commercial primary energy demand and one-third of total energy demand of the country. Although, India is one of the leading producers and consumer of coal, Indian coal has high ash content and embedded impurities, which needs washing and blending of coal for improving the quality of Run-of-Mine (ROM) coal.

Indian Coal Washing Industry: Present & Future Developments
Key drivers with detailed profiles of Coal Washeries
Coal is the key contributor to the Indian energy portfolio. It contributes
to nearly half of commercial primary energy demand and one-third of
total energy demand of the country. Although, India is one of the
leading producers and consumer of coal, Indian coal has high ash
content and embedded impurities, which needs washing and blending
of coal for improving the quality of Run-of-Mine (ROM) coal. The steel
sector needs coking coal with ash content of less than eighteen percent.
Washing helps in reducing ash content by seven to eight percent.
Quality and environmental concerns are causing a shift towards higher
utilization of washed and blended coal.

Presently nearly fifty-two commercial washeries with installed capacity
of about 131 MTPA are operating in the country. In India, only about
twenty percent of the coal produced is washed, as against the global
average of over fifty percent. Coking coal preparation has long been in
operation in India; however the trend of washing of non coking coal is
also being seen. About twenty-three percent of the installed capacity is
for coking coal and the rest is for non-coking coal. Further, as per the
directives of MoEF, the power stations located at more than 1000 km
away from coal mines and those located in sensitive areas are required
to use coal containing not more than thirty-four percent of ash on
annual average basis. The distance is expected to be reduced to 500 km
as per draft notification released by MoEF in July 2012.

Washing is carried out to reduce the ash content, and to lower the
level of sulphur and unwanted minerals present in coal. Washed coal
has higher calorific value than unwashed coal hence usage of washed
coal helps in improving efficiency of steel, cement and power plants.
Out of total of 104 coal-based thermal power plants, only thirty
percent of power plants are using washed coal. Development of coal
washeries is not keeping pace with the demand of coal. The
preliminary study on coal washery market in India suggests that
investment in coal washeries will increase exponentially in the coming
years and host huge opportunities for private players. Keeping this view
in the backdrop, InfralineEnergy is coming up with the report titled
“Indian Coal Washing Industry: Present & Future Developments – Key
drivers with detailed profiles of coal washeries”.
