Having gained experience in
cogeneration in one sugar unit, Triveni decided to expand its
cogeneration business. At present there are two cogeneration plants at
Khatuli each of 23 MW capacity. While the phase 1 cogeneration was
commissioned in October 2005, phase 2 cogeneration was commissioned in
December 2006.
Triveni has already entered into a PPA with UPPCL for the export of
power from it's cogeneration plants at Khatauli. The plant &
machinery of the cogeneration plant at Khatauli consists of the
following:
- 120 tph 87 ata/515 degree C high pressure/temperature boiler
- 1 * 23 MW double extraction condensing type TG set
- 1 * 23 MW back pressure type TG Set
- All auxilliaries (Includes cooling towers, water treatment plant,
fuel & ash handling system, power evacuation system among
others)
The back pressure type TG set shall be operational only during the
crushing season. After providing for certain captive requirements of the
sugar factory and auxiliary requirements of the cogen plants, surplus
power is exported to the grid.
