Larsen & Toubro’s power vertical has won two orders worth Rs 1,400 crore from state-owned NTPC. The unit will be setting up flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) systems at NTPC’s Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Plant in Madhya Pradesh and Darlipali Super Thermal Power Project in Odisha, according to a company statement.
Installation of FGD systems at the existing and upcoming thermal power plants has been made mandatory by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India, to curtail SO2 emissions, it said.
For these projects, the engineering and construction major will be using FGD technology of Japan’s Chiyoda Corporation with which it has a long-term technical licence agreement. The unique technology allows absorbing sulphur dioxide from flue gas generated by coal-fired, oil-fired and other types of boilers and removing it as gypsum.
The agreement grants the company exclusive rights to undertake engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of CT-121TM FGD systems. The power business of L&T, through its joint venture companies, has also won orders in the domestic and export markets for engineering services and supply of components, the statement added.
