By GlobalDataIt will also add soot blowers to all units to prevent fall-off in heat-exchange efficiency.
According to MHPS, the refurbishment will help in the realisation of a stable power supply.
Coal pulverisers will be used to grind coal into fine particles, in addition to removing coarse-grained particle for high thermal efficiency of boiler units. These will also allow in reducing NOx (nitrogen oxides) and other emissions.
Soot blowers enable in removing soot and dust from boilers and other equipment, helping to enhance efficiency of heat exchangers.
