Do thermal power plants pollute?

Thermal power plants are polluted. Due to their operating principle, thermal power plants produce significant emissions such as “noise, waste water, waste gases and waste residues”. These emissions include dust particles, ash and flue gases emitted during the fuel combustion process, sewage and waste; liquid, and the noise emitted during the operation of the unit. For this reason, it will bring some pollution to the environment. Thermal power plant refers to a thermal power plant that not only produces electricity, but also uses the extraction steam or exhaust steam from the steam turbine to provide heat to users. The main working principle is to use the hot water generated by the thermal power plant to heat it again and then provide heating. Due to objective facts, itIt is impossible for thermal power plants to “bid for grid access” on the same starting line as large power plants. The installed capacity of thermal power plants is limited by the size and nature of the thermal load, and the scale of the units is much smaller than that of the main units of thermal power plants. Since thermal power plants produce both electricity and heat, their boiler capacity is greater than that of thermal power plants of the same size. Thermal power plants need to have larger backup boiler capacity than ordinary thermal power plants, and the water treatment capacity is also larger. Thermal power plants must be close to thermal load centers, which are often urban centers located in densely populated areas. Requirements for water use, land acquisition, demolitionition and environmental protection are much higher than those of thermal power plants of the same capacity. at the same time, networks of thermal pipes are also built.
