POLLUTION EMISSIONS RESULTING FROM COAL BURNING

Abstract

The paper presents a case study on the pollutant emissions from coal burning at the Mintia Thermal Power Plant. The Mintia Thermal Power Plant is a Romanian electric and thermal energy producer. The power plant consists of three large combustion plants that run on solid fuel (coal) natural gas or fuel oil. The emission of pollutants into the atmosphere is made by three chimneys with a height of 220 m. The plant has been included in the National Transition Plan on Industrial Emissions for the period 2016-2020.
