Enhancing Coal Mill Safety
The mills can each provide 65 tph of pulverised coal to the boiler, a total of 195 tph per boiler. NFPA Annex K.5 Coal Firing General Considerations states: "It takes as little as 1.4 kg of pulverised coal in 28.3 m3 of air to form an explosive mixture. Since a large boiler burns 45.4 kg/sec of coal, the safe burning of pulverised coal ...

Coal Grinding Systems
Fires or explosions most likely occur during startup and shutdown of a coal mill system. If a small amount of coal remains in the mill after it is shut down, it slowly increases in temperature. If the pulverized coal undergoes spontaneous heating and the coal mill is restarted with hot embers present, an explosion or fire is possible.
