State-owned power equipment maker BHEL today said it has commissioned a 250-mw eco-friendly unit, using low grade coal (lignite) as primary fuel.<\/p>\n
The lignite-based thermal unit, based on circulating fluidised bed combustion (CFBC) technology, is the second such facility to be commissioned at Bhavnagar Energy Company’s (BECL) 2×250 mw thermal power project at Padva in Bhavnagar district of Gujarat, a BHEL statement said.<\/p>\n
According to the statement, the first unit of the project was commissioned earlier in May 2016. The project is based on CFBC technology – an environment friendly one to utilise India’s large resource of low grade, high moisture lignite.<\/p>\n
BHEL has the unique distinction of engineering, supply, installation and commissioning of four units of India’s largest capacity CFBC boilers of 250 mw rating, including the two units at Bhavnagar.<\/p>\n
Earlier in Gujarat, BHEL has executed the 4×125 mw Surat Lignite Power project in Surat district, also involving the CFBC technology.<\/p>\n
CFBC boilers are highly fuel flexible and can burn a wide array of fuels, including lignite, and are highly environment friendly with very low pollutant emission.<\/p>\n
The successful commissioning of CFBC technology-based units has reinforced BHEL’s leadership status in executing a variety of thermal power projects involving supply of state-of-the-art equipment suitable for Indian conditions, it added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
