250 MW CFBC boiler to go on stream at NLC this month

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) will commission its first unit of 250 MW lignite-powered CFBC (circulating fluidised bed combustion) boiler at Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) complex in Tamil Nadu this month.

The second unit will become operational during April-May, said A. V. Krishnan, Executive Director, BHEL, Tiruchi Complex, where the technology for CFBC boilers operated with non-coal fuel options such as lignite, bagasse and straw was developed.

Mr. Krishnan hoped that lignite-fired boilers of 500 MW capacity could be developed by 2017-20.
