Thermax has bagged an order worth $193 million for the supply of four coal-fired boilers for Essar Group’s upcoming refinery’s captive co-generation plant.
Essar is expanding capacity of its refinery on the Western coast of India to process up to 35 million tons of crude per annum. The refinery’s captive power plant will consist of 2,400MW thermal output equivalent boilers, which will be manufactured by Thermax under technology license from US-based Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group.
Each of the boilers will have the capacity to generate 250MW of electricity. The supply of the boilers will start 12 months from now and will be completed in 30 months.
