GE Power India Ltd (formerly Alstom India Ltd) has reported the winning of an order worth Rs.327.50 crore from Doosan Power Systems India Pvt Ltd for the supply of four units of 660-mw electrostatic precipitators (ESP). These ESPs will be deployed at the 2×660-mw Obra and the 2×660-mw Jawaharpur supercritical power projects, being developed by state power generation utility Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd. The precipitators will be equipped with latest GE controllers, a stock exchange filing of GE Power India said. Doosan Power Systems India Pvt Ltd (DPSI) is the EPC contractor for both the Obra and Jawaharpur projects. While Obra is a brownfield expansion, Jawaharpur (implemented by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UPRVUNL) is a greenfield project.
The technology would bring down the emission of particulate matters to 18mg/Nm3 in Obra C and to 17mg/Nm3 in Jawaharpur. These levels are around 40 per cent lower than the requirement of 30mg/Nm3 as defined in the new environmental norms released by Union ministry of environment & forests in December 2015.
GE Power is also supplying supercritical steam turbines for the same projects, which are being executed by DPSI on EPC basis.
