India Cements setting up 7.7 MW waste heat based PP
India Cements is setting up a 7.7 MW Waste Heat based power project at its Vishnupuram cement plant in AP. The cement plant has an capacity of 2.25mtpa. The cement plant has two kilns, one of 1,750 tonnes per day and one of 4,500 tonnes per day. The waste heat recovery will take place using gases from the larger kiln. Two sources of waste heat gases are collected and utilized by the project activity. The project activity involves the installation of two waste heat recovery boilers and one turbine generator. The boilers and turbine are manufactured by Kawasaki of Japan. The technology encompasses two 15 bar waste heat recovery boilers of 28 tph and 14 tph capacities. The steam generated from these boilers are passed to a 7.7MW turbine generator with the resultant electricity fed to the cement plant. The boilers are installed at the pre-heater exhaust (PH boiler) and at the cooler exhaust from the kiln (AQC boiler). The project has received funding under the New Energy Industrial Development Organization (NEDO) of the Government of Japan.
