Project overview
A large paper manufacturing facility in Southeast Asia aimed to reduce energy costs and improve operational efficiency by installing a cogeneration plant.
The requirement was to generate both process steam and power through a single, highly efficient system. After detailed technical discussions and evaluation, Thermax proposed a turnkey cogeneration solution designed to meet the plant’s energy and sustainability goals.
Challenges
- Need for efficient and reliable power and process steam generation
- Requirement for fuel flexibility and cost optimisation
- Tight project timelines with stringent performance expectations
- Need for long-term operational reliability and support
Solution
- Thermax executed a turnkey EPC project for a 12.5 MW cogeneration plant.
- Installation of a flexible cogeneration system using biomass and rice husk as co-fuels
- Integration of a 78 TPH AFBC boiler and complete balance-of-plant systems
- Design focused on high efficiency and fuel flexibility
- Successful commissioning and stabilisation within stringent timelines
- Comprehensive operations and maintenance support provided post-installation
Result
- Reliable generation of power and process steam through cogeneration
- Reduced energy costs and improved overall plant efficiency
- Successful completion of Thermax’s first overseas turnkey power project for this division
- High customer satisfaction, leading to a repeat order for a larger cogeneration plant
- Sustained performance supported through long-term O&M services
