Power Station
Upon arrival at the Power Station the coal travels through several bunkers, crushers and conveyors before being stored in six hoppers ready to be pulverised.
The Pulverisers reduce the coal to a fine dust that is dried and injected into the boiler.
The construction of the Anglesea power station is unique to Australia because its boiler is suspended from a structure that reaches 57 metres from ground level.
Hot gases are used to heat the boiler water to generate high pressure steam that drives a two-cylinder, 160MW-capacity condensing turbine to create electricity.
The electricity is then transmitted to the Point Henry aluminium smelter through a 45km high-voltage line.
