mechanical-engineering

GMDC has implemented 2 X 125 MW Akrimota Thermal Power Project at village Nani Chher, Taluka Lakhapat, Dist. Kutchh, Gujarat State. Both the units have been in commercial operation since March, 2007. It is a pit head lignite based thermal power plant getting lignite from its own mines at Panandhro. The water requirement for the power plant is taken from the nearest Kori Creek through a 1.4k.m.long sea water intake channel. The CFBC boiler is used here as it is environment friendly and controls sulfur in the flue gas emission. A 100 metre green belt surrounds the entire site. The state-of-the-art technology DDCS has been used here. The plant has already achieved more than 62% PLF in the first quarter of 2009-10.
