  • 1. BACKGROUND CCL Intends to Set up a Coking Coal Washery with Raw
    1. BACKGROUND CCL intends to set up a coking coal washery with raw coal linkage from Tapin North OCP, Tapin South OCP, Parej East OCP and Jharkhand OCP on Build- Own-Operate (BOO) concept. The raw coal throughput of the washery will be 4.0 Mtpa. The expected monthly average ash content of Raw Coal is around 33.4% on ‘adb’ (air dried basis) and likely to vary within the range of 31.7 to 35.2% on ‘adb’. The washery will be designed to produce three products viz. washed/ clean coal, washed coal (power) & rejects. Projection of yield has been done on the basis of the test results of 4 number of seams viz. IV/V, VA, VII and VIIA/VIIB (combined) of Tapin North OCP conducted by CIMFR.The composite raw coal ash of Seam IV/ V (combined) & Seam VA, Seam VII ,Seam VII A/VII B (combined) contribution of which are 33.8%, 27.4% ,25%,40.7% respectively, works out to 31.725%. Hence, the average ash of raw coal feed to washery has been considered as 31.725%. 2. LOCATION The proposed washery will be located in the vicinity of existing Kedla Washery of CCL in West Bokaro Coalfield, Hazaribagh Area, District- Ramgarh, State Jharkhand. 3. COMMUNICATION The proposed site for washery is well connected by road and rail. This site is approachable through a 20 km long metalled road from Ghato and connecting NH-33 at Charhi. NH-33 connects Ranchi and Hazaribagh. Another approach is through a 13 km all weather road connecting Gidi washery and crossing NH-33 at Kuju.

  • Mining Plan for Kuju OCP (1.5 Mty) CHAPTER-I
    Mining plan for Kuju OCP(1.50Mty) CMPDI Mining plan for Kuju OCP (1.5 Mty) CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Project: The Kuju Block is situated in the South Central part of the West Bokaro Coalfield. The four pre- nationalisation leases, called Mourpa, Kuju, Hesagora and Banwar have been re- organized in 1973, after nationalization of coal mining industry, in a single unit named Kuju colliery, which now forms the part of Kuju area of CCL. Kuju Block is dotted by a number of pits, trenches, wells and other irregular excavations started indiscriminately without an idea of planning in pre-nationalisation period in the name of opencast mining. These excavations were supplemented by numerous inclines having limited working extent often restricted by small faults as well as due to non availability of any type of underground transport in the mine. The Kuju Block is bounded by latitude 23 0 44‟ 24” and 23 0 45 „17 “and longitude 85 0 29 „36” and 85 0 31‟ 32 “.It is covered by part of toposheet nos 73E/10 of Survey of India. The Kuju, Mourpa and Banwar mining sections were separately operated by numerous leases, sub leases and mining contracts till nationalization of the coal company. Presently mining activities are concentrated only in Kuju and Banwar section. In Kuju section production comes from Seam X and in Banwar section production comes from multiseam quarry of seam-V, VA, VI and VII. Seasonal mining activities are restored to in the Mourpa section. Now UG mining activities are being carried out between Bander Chua nala and Mourpa nala in the seam VA, VI, VII, VIII and IX.
