New Delhi: Amidst stiff competitive bidding, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has secured an order for emission control equipment. The order is for 2×250 MW Bhilai Expansion power project in Chhattisgarh. Valued at around Rs 450 crore, the order has been placed with BHEL by NTPC-SAIL Power Company Limited (a joint venture of NTPC Ltd and SAIL). The order involves supply and installation of Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) system.
BHEL's scope of work includes design, engineering, civil works, supply, erection and commissioning of wet FGD system, along with auxiliaries, including limestone and gypsum handling system and wet stack, on turnkey basis. BHEL offers advanced SOx control equipment and has ongoing technology collaborations with Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS), Japan, for FGD systems and with HLB Power, Republic of Korea, for large-size gates and dampers. BHEL is a market leader in the emission control equipment segment and has contracted FGD orders for 56 thermal units from various customers, including FGD systems for 42 thermal units of NTPC and its JVs.
BHEL's plan to indigenously manufacture major equipment for emission control provides a twin boost to the government's plan of 'Making in India' and its National Determined Contributions (NDCs) for limiting the carbon footprint of the nation. BHEL has a vast experience of over five decades and has installed more than 1,85,000 MW utility sets in India and abroad. The company's strong engineering credentials have enabled various utilities to entrust BHEL with providing emission control solutions for compliance with the government's revised emission norms.
