BHEL to offer pollution control equpt for thermal power plant
Reaffirming its commitment towards better environment, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has geared up for the manufacture and supply of state-of-the-art pollution control equipment to meet the emerging requirement of thermal power plants. The equipment called Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) system, removes Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) from the flue gas.
To this effect, BHEL has entered into a License Agreement with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI), Japan for acquiring FGD system technology, finding application in fossil fuel power plants.
The agreement was signed by O.P. Bhutani, Director (E, R&D), BHEL, and Naohito Hoshino, Senior Vice President and Deputy Head of Engineering Headquarters, MHI, in the presence of B. Prasada Rao, Chairman and Managing Director, BHEL and other functional Directors of BHEL, besides other senior officers from BHEL and MHI.
The FGD systems will be engineered and manufactured at the Ranipet unit of BHEL in Tamil Nadu. BHEL has proactively taken this initiative with respect to the air pollution control market in India even before the market emerges by introducing this state-of-the-art technology.
With the growing concern for environmental pollution in the country, Central Pollution Control Board, Ministry of Environment and Forests, is expected to stipulate stringent control regulations towards Sulphur DiOxide (SO2) emissions for power plants.
