The order, to set up a 20MW (Frame-5) Gas Turbine-based co-generation power plant, is worth INR1,700m. In order to achieve compliance to Euro-IV emission norms, the company has initiated the project to meet the additional power and steam requirements of the Manali refinery.

The company’s scope of work in the project includes design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of a Frame-5 Gas Turbine Generator and Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) with a capacity of 85 Tons per hour (TPH) along with associated auxiliaries and balance of plant.

The company’s plants at Trichy, Hyderabad, Bhopal, Ranipet, Jhansi and Bangalore would supply equipment for the project. BHEL’s Power Sector – Southern Region, Chennai would carry on with the erection and commissioning of the power plant.

The company at Manali Refinery has already installed three captive power plants, which are successfully operated, reaching the power and steam needs of the refinery.

BHEL offers units from 10MW onwards for both steam turbine-based and gas-based combined cycle power projects for total power and process steam requirements of various industries, such as metal, paper, sugar, cement and process industries like refineries, petrochemicals, fertilizer and others.
