Thermax Limited has bagged an order to set up two flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) systems in a thermal power plant located in the state of Jharkhand, in a public-private joint venture.

The customer will install two units of FGD systems of 525 mw capacities each at their plant, to limit SOx emissions as per the revised regulations from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.

MS Unnikrishnan, MD & CEO, Thermax Limited, said, “The Environment business has had a good run in terms of order intake, and I am happy that we have concluded the year on a high note with this inclusion. It also shows that the implementation of industrial pollution norms has gained momentum in the country, considering that we bagged two large FGD orders within a short span of six months.”

The scope of supply includes design, engineering, manufacturing, civil work, construction and commissioning of the FGD systems. The commissioning of the project is scheduled over 30 months.
