India, being the world's third most noteworthy power maker with all out exhibited purpose of containments of 344.69 GW, contributing 68% of thermal Capacity. Subsequently, Thermal power producing stations are basic. As an electrical architect, exceptional consideration ought to be taken to decrease coal utilization in Thermal power generating stations. In Thermal power producing stations, boilers utilized are Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) and Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion (AFBC). These boilers utilize bed material to keep up warmth in the boiler. 210MW and under 210 MW generators in the Thermal power producing stations are utilizing CFBC boilers. After a nearby examination of thermal power stations, it is discovered that the bed material including over 5% of engaging parts are open in the bed material which is horrendous. This happens where magnetic separator at the bed material stacking point is missing or far off. From this time forward it is proposed to introduce a magnetic separator at the bed material stacking point. With this establishment of magnetic separator hardware, boiler efficiency can be reached out to 2.1% more, to keep up the required temperature and to maintain a strategic distance from boiler stoppages. An endeavor has been made to perceive the usage required presenting attractive separator and it has been discovered that the reward period is obliged to roughly 1 to 2 years if the engaging sections in the bed material are 5%and 10% respectively. The Proposed issue is endeavored with MATLAB condition and cost examination of thermal power plant is separated and existing synthesis information. The test outcomes displayed that the proposed framework gives an attainable game-plan gigantic theory saves and liberal for consistent assignments.

A main problem related to coal ash disposal is the heavy metal content of the residue. In this regard, experimental results of numerous studies have indicated that toxic trace metals may leach when fly ash and bottom ash contacts with water. In this study, fly ash and bottom ash samples obtained from Kemerköy thermal power plant, located on the south-western coast of Turkey, were subjected to toxicity tests such as the extraction procedures (EP) and toxicity characteristic leaching procedures (TCLP) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), the so-called Method A extraction procedure of the American Society of Testing and Material (ASTM). When Pb and Cd concentrations, analysed according to EP and TCLP, were considered, Kemerköy fly and bottom ash can be classified as a hazardous waste under the principles of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Based on the geochemical analyses carried out, it was also determined that several toxic trace elements, such as Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu and Co were enriched at the fly and bottom ash of Kemerköy thermal power plant.

Thermal power plant generates a huge amount of fly ash on combustion of coal which is becoming a major environmental issue. Thermal power plants are greatly facing a fly ash management problem. Open dumping of fly ash can deteriorate the groundwater quality by runoff. In the present investigation, the ground water samples were collected from nearby areas of Parichha Thermal Power Plant at six locations during the period of Jan 2014 to May 2014. The samples were taken to the laboratory and analyzed for physico-chemical properties and heavy metal content. The physico-chemical analysis was done for the parameters like pH, Turbidity, Temperature, Electrical Conductivity, Alkalinity, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Hardness, Calcium Hardness and Magnesium Hardness. The concentration of Turbidity, EC and Alkalinity was exceeding the standard at all locations and shows that the groundwater of the area is not fit for drinking. The ground water samples were also analyzed for the presence of lead and cadmium and it was found that lead was exceeding the limit although cadmium was found within the limit.
