Triveni is operating a 14,000 TCD capacity sugar unit at Deoband in District Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. As a result of modernisation activity taken up at Deoband, there was substantial reduction in process steam consumption and therefore increased availablity of bagasse. It was decided to use the additional savings of bagasse as result of the modernisation of the plant synergitically in a high pressure & temperature efficient cogeneration power plant at Deoband.

The plant has been installed nearby the existing sugar factory and suitable interconnections have been made to use the exhaust steam & electricity from the cogen plant to the sugar factory & fuel conveyors for conveying bagasse from the sugar factory to the cogen plant.

Deoband sugar unit is located in high cane intensity western UP region and therefore has assured availability of raw material (Sugarcane) for crushing and therefore assured availability of bagasse to run the cogen plant.

The plant & machinery of the cogeneration plant at Deoband consists of the following

• 120 tph 87 ata/515 degree C high pressure/temperature boiler
• 22 MW double extraction condensing type TG set
• All auxilliaries (Includes cooling towers, water treatment plant, fuel & ash handling system, power evacuation system among others)
  

The cogen plant at Deoband was commissioned on 5th of December 2004. The surplus power (after meeting the sugar factory's requirement and cogeneration plant's in-house requirement) is exported to the UPPCL, for which Triveni has a Power Purchase Agreement.
