FLSmidth to deliver the world's largest pipe conveyor to Indian customer
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PRESS RELEASE
FLSmidth has been awarded its second coal handling order from NTPC this year
(see Company Announcement no. 05-2010). The contract from M/s. NTPC - Tamil Nadu
Energy Company Ltd. (a joint venture company between National Thermal Power
Corporation Limited and Tamil Nadu Electricity Board) has a value of
approximately USD 20.4m (DKK 114m) and covers engineering, supply and
installation of an external coal handling system at their Vallur Thermal
powerplant. The plant is located at Ennore, approximately 20 km from the city of
Chennai in southern India.
This external coal handling package is part of an expansion of the 1,500 MW mega
power project. In view of the Indian Government's "Power for All" policy, NTPC
has formed joint ventures with state owned electricity boards to produce power
to meet the local demand.
Major equipment included in the coal handling system is a 4.4 km long pipe
conveyor with a capacity of 4,000 tonnes per hour - making it the world's
largest pipe conveyor. The coal handling system will convey coal from the
adjoining port to the internal coal handling stockpile.
The coal handling system is based on a well-proven system as FLSmidth has
previously delivered the world's longest pipe conveyor, which is 8.2 km long and
operating in Peru as well as the highest capacity coal pipe conveyor with a
capacity of 2,000 tonnes per hour, operating in Colombia.
The pipe conveyor is a spillage free conveying system, installed with a dust
control system at end transfer stations, ensuring an environmentally friendly
material handling system.
"This order for the world's largest pipe conveyor will further qualify FLSmidth
for future material handling projects and supply of long distance conveyors,
especially for coal. The development of our material handling activities is
supported by our various acquisitions, increasing our ability to serve as a
single-source supplier to both the cement and minerals industries," Group CEO
Jørgen Huno Rasmussen comments.
