Thermax bags Rs.1700 Crore order

Thermax has bagged Rs 1,700-crore order from a leading petrochemical company for the design, manufacture and commissioning of 9 CFBC (circulating fluidized bed combustion) high pressure boilers of 500 TPH each for two of its plants. The boilers, which are to be commissioned within 24-29 months, will use petcoke and coal as fuel to generate steam for process and power generation. Petcoke is essentially a refinery waste and has high heat value and low ash content.

Further, using fourth generation CFBC technology Thermax boilers will burn these multiple fuels to achieve high levels of temperature control and almost negligible down time for maintenance.
