Satsha Management Services provides engineering support to various manufacturing companies such as paper & pulp mills, caustic manufactures, cotton textile firms and others to adopt cleaner energy alternatives by switching over to Natural Gas based power generation. Currently, most of them are producing power from petcoke, fuel oil or coal. These fuels produce excessively high quantities of harmful SOx and NOx gases in the exhaust gases and pollute the environment.
Switching over to Natural Gas would enable them to meet stricter regulatory norms which Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has fixed recently in terms of reduced SOx and Nox emissions, <600 mg/m3 for SOx and <300 mg/m3 for NOx. On the other hand, it can provide several other benefits. For example, fuel cost per unit of power production can be optimized relative to the existing cost depending upon the power generation capacity by choosing right configuration, due to better thermal efficiency of Natural Gas based power plant and lower price of natural gas fuel. It would also save the handling and storage costs associated with the existing fuel. Further, the space which was being used for storage and handling of the existing fuel can now be used productively. Thus, overall saving in various costs could more than off-set the capital cost on modification of existing plant and machinery depending upon their existing configuration and capacity resulting into overall net saving.
Other alternative of installing SOx and NOx removal facilities could be uneconomic for the smaller capacities of power generation which these firms need.
Satsha Management Services has complete know-how for modification of existing power plants based on petcoke, coal or fuel oil to natural gas based power plant which includes definition of air compression parameters, fixing flue gas composition and temperature, optimizing net isentropic and actual work produced from gas turbine, fixing the parameters for steam turbine, optimizing steam conditions, optimum definition of steam turbine parameters.
It provides complete engineering solution (based on its own know-how) in the form of techno-commercial feasibility study, design & engineering, and project management consultancy. It suggests the most optimum configuration in terms of steam turbine, gas turbine or combined cycle depending upon the existing configuration, power generation capacity and steam requirement of the plant so as to maximize the net benefit thus creating value to its customers.
