Isgec has successfully commissioned a combustion modification project for the 150 MW boiler for Hindalco Industries Ltd. at their Aditya Aluminium Unit in Sambhalpur, Odisha.

The project involved the complete modification of the combustion system of a tangentially fired boiler in order to drastically reduce NOx emissions in line with the revised and more stringent norms issued by the Ministry of Environment & Forests. Isgec executed this project in collaboration with BHI FW Corpn., USA.

The scope of the project included design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, transportation, construction, commissioning, and performance guarantee testing.

The site work at the project was initiated in December 2019 and the performance guarantee test successfully conducted in the initial days of the COVID-19 lockdown, in March. Now that India is in unlock phase, the modified boiler has been successfully commissioned.
