As the result of combustion process in boilers of the Thermal Power Plant „Kakanj“, flue gases develop, which are undesirable for the environment, for people living in the plant neighborhood and for flora and fauna. In order to perform environmental protection a lot of efforts and organizational activities should be put in action and significant resources should be made available. Flue gases from the plant boilers are filtered and discharged in the environment after passing flue channels and the chimney. The Thermal Power Plant „Kakanj“ has used 300-meter chimney for flue gases discharge for a long time. During the
overhaul of block 7 and reconstruction of 300-meter chimney in period September-December 2014, it was necessary to redirect the flue gases from blocks 5&6 to the 100-meter chimney. This task required certain reconstruction of existing installation and calculation of 100-meter chimney capability. The performed flue channels reconstruction and calculation of operating parameters of 100-meter chimney are presented in this paper.
