All the major basic process industries like Refinery, Petrochemical plants, Cement Industries, Fertilizer industry , Steel manufacturing industry, Textile Industry, Paper Industry and Sugar industry etc need huge quantity of Electric Power and Steam for their functioning.
- Mainly for running equipment like
Pumps, Compressors, Blowers etc. (90%)
- Other associated uses like Lighting,
heating, air-conditioning etc.(10%)
- Heating the process fluids (80%)
- Running turbines
- Flushing, sealing, ejectors etc
To meet this power and steam requirement they generally set-up their own Power Plants which produce steam along with power.
Most
of the state electricity boards already have shortage in power supply.
Even
when power is available, it is not reliable. These industries need continuous
power because any stoppage results in huge economic loss and also damage to the
equipment.
