ABB India has bagged orders for an automation and electricial system for a 2 MPTA greenfield plant in Odisha by Emami Cement, the flagship company of the Kolkata-based Emami Group.
Emami is setting up advanced and energy-efficient cement plants to meet the future demand for cement arising from the steady growth of infrastructure spend in the country. The solution implemented will minimise energy consumption and enhance the overall plant performance, helping the plant support infrastructure growth in the region.
ABB will be undertaking complete project implementation including supply, erection, testing and commissioning for the electrical distribution and distributed control system (DCS). The 800xA DCS will help monitor, control and optimise the cement manufacturing process, while maximising plant uptime. The electrical distribution system includes 220 kV switchyard with 20/25 MVA 220kV/11kV transformer, 11 kV board, Intelligent Motor Control Center, distribution transformer, medium- and low-voltage capacitors and allied accessories.
“India’s infrastructure and housing is an integral part of our country’s growth and we would like to ensure we contribute to the national cause providing quality cement to our consumers, at the same time being environmentally responsible by deploying world-class technology and manufacturing process in our plants,” said Vivek Chawla, CEO, Emami Cement Ltd.
ABB has had a long association with the Emami Group, having implemented automation, instrumentation and electrical solutions for their cement plant at Chhattisgarh and paper manufacturing facility at Odisha.
ABB has been a key partner to cement companies transitioning in line with evolving market demands and requirements to be globally more competitive with optimised energy usage and lower emissions,” said Madhav Vemuri, President, Industrial Automation, ABB India. “With over 50 per cent of the cement capacity in India running on ABB’s automation solutions, the new plant augments Odisha as a cement hub,” he added.
