Thermax Limited, one of the leading power generation equipment maker, has informed that it has received an order worth Rs 820 crore from an unnamed major refinery, to supply Pulverised Coal Fired Boilers for their Captive Cogeneration Plant.

The refinery is currently implementing significant capacity expansion slated to process upto 35m TPA of crude.

The refinery's captive cogeneration plant will consist of 4 x 750 TPH (total 2400MWt output) Pulverised Coal Fired Boilers, which will be manufactured by Thermax under technology license from U.S.-based Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group Inc.

The high-pressure steam will generate 390MW of electricity and the balance energy produced will be used for process heating within the refinery. Indonesian coal will be used as fuel to fire these boilers.

The company expects that the supply of the boilers will start 12 months from now and will be completed in 30 months.
