Stack Height Calculation for Coal

Stack height is calculated using the formula H=14(Q)^0.33, where H is the height in meters and Q is the quantity of fuel in kg/hr multiplied by the sulfur content percentage divided by 100. For a boiler burning 74,956.87 kg/hr of coal with a maximum sulfur content of 0.5%, the calculated stack height is 335 feet.

  • Stack Height Calculation
  • Sulfur Content of Fuels Available in India

 

Stack Height CalculationStack height is calculated using following


formula
H=14 (Q).33

Where:
H = height of Chimney
Q = (Quantity of fuel (kg/hr) x sulphur content (%) x 2)/100

The sulphur content in the bagasse is negligible


(around 0.1 %) as compared to Indian coal (maximum considered of
0.5%). Or we can use the table below.
Table No.
Sulfur Content of Fuels Available in India
Type of Fuel Percentage Content of Sulfur
Light Diesel Oil 1.80
High Speed Diesel 1.00
Kerosene 0.25
Furnace Oil 3.00 to 4.00
LPG 0.10
Coal 0.50

Therefore the stack height will be calculated on the basis of

The maximum quantity of coal that will be burned is 165251.6157

H=102 meters

H=334.6235 ft

There fore the height of the stack will be 335ft.
