State-run BHEL (Q,N,C,F)* has entered into a license agreement with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), Japan, a leading supplier of FGD Systems, for acquiring FGD system technology, finding application in fossil fuel power plants.
The FGD systems will be engineered and manufactured at the Ranipet unit of BHEL in Tamilnadu.
"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," it said.
CEA has already advised power project developers that for all new power plants, provision of space for FGD plants has to be included and in future, these power plants would be required to install FGD systems.
Further, it is expected that some of the upcoming power projects including Ultra Mega Power Projects would be set up in coastal areas utilising imported coal having high sulphur content and they may have to install FGD systems. These coastal projects would require FGD systems mostly based on seawater FGD technology, it said.
