The coal based thermal power plant comprises of four main working circuits: Coal and ash circuit; Air & gas circuit; Feed water and steam flow circuit; Cooling water circuit; Coal and Ash Circuit. Coal arrives at the coal handling plant and after necessary handling, passes on the furnace through pulveriser & fuel feeding device.

The Coal Power Plant or Steam Power Plant has four major circuits by which the layout can be studied in detail. These are. 1. Coal and ash Circuit: This circuit consists of coal delivery, preparation of coal, handling of coal to the boiler furnace, ash handling and ash storage. The coal which is received from the mines are stored in coal storage.

2.7.1 Dry steam power plant. Dry steam power plants were the earliest type of geothermal power plant; the first dry steam power plant was built at Lardarello in Italy in 1904. Dry steam power plants use 99.99% dry steam at a temperature greater than 150°C. These power plants are rare because of the unavailability of dry steam.
