SPIL has implemented a 5 MW cogeneration power project based on rice husk. The power will be produced by 5MW extraction-cum-condensing steam turbine with alternator. Major equipment of the power project comprises of 50 tonne per hour (TPH) capacity single drum travel grate type boiler. The average inflow of extraction steam is 30 tonne per hour, which is used for process steam requirement in the paper machine section. In pre project scenario the heat and power requirement was met using low-pressure boiler with 3 MW turbine, wherein the remaining power is imported from grid. The GHG emission reductions are from electricity generation. It would substitute electricity generation of NEWNE grid of India dominated by coal based power plants, and thus would reduce coal consumption.

SPIL Cogeneration Power Project

SPIL has implemented a 5 MW cogeneration power project in India that utilizes rice husk to generate power. The power is produced by a 5 MW extraction-cum-condensing steam turbine with alternator. The major equipment of the power project comprises a 50 tonne per hour (TPH) capacity single drum travel grate type boiler, which allows for the production of process steam required in the paper machine section. 

Key Highlights:
- The cogeneration power project generates 5 MW of power using rice husk, a sustainable and renewable resource.
- The project helps to reduce GHG emissions from electricity generation, which would otherwise be generated by coal-based power plants.
- The use of the 5 MW extraction-cum-condensing steam turbine with alternator allows for the efficient production of process steam required in the paper machine section.
- The project reduces reliance on the grid for power and provides a sustainable source of energy for the paper mill.
- The project contributes to India's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 33-35% by 2030 as part of the Paris Agreement.

By utilizing rice husk to generate power, the SPIL Cogeneration Power Project helps to reduce coal consumption in India's electricity generation dominated by coal-based power plants. The project's GHG emission reductions contribute to India's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions as part of the Paris Agreement. Additionally, the project reduces the reliance on grid power and provides a sustainable source of energy for the paper mill, making it an important step towards a sustainable future.

Electricity and heat generation from biomass

5MW Biomass Based Cogeneration Project At Sainsons

SPIL's 5 MW cogeneration power project, which is based on rice husk, uses a 5MW extraction-cum-condensing steam turbine with alternator to produce electricity. The project has replaced a low-pressure boiler with a 3 MW turbine, and it is expected to reduce GHG emissions by substituting electricity generation of NEWNE grid of India that is dominated by coal-based power plants, ultimately reducing coal consumption.
