Technology Tie-up with MHPS
• BHEL has signed a TCA with M/s MHPS for Wet FGD
technology in April 2013 and it is valid up to 2028.
• MHPS trained BHEL Engineers in Wet FGD technology
(Limestone / Sea water).
• BHEL and MHPS jointly designed the Wet Limestone FGD
system for NTPC Vindhyachal 1x500 MW Project and
offered.
• BHEL designed Wet Limestone FGD by its own and NOA
received for Maitree 2X660 MW project at Bangladesh

 Scaffolding is required for each stage of spray pipe.
It is hard to install the scaffolding for each stage of
spray pipe.
Features
 Maintenance work is hard because the workers are
forced to keep looking up the spray pipes and nozzles
 Only one stage scaffolding is required.
 It is easy to install the scaffolding on spray pipes.
 Maintenance work is easy because the workers can
inspect nozzles by looking down.

Principle

・Energy Saving － High air-utilization percentage

・A part of the absorber slurry is fed to JAS. － Blower less
・Low pressure area is generated in JAS
・Reduced maintenance － No rotating equipment
where air is sucked either directly from
and high reliability － No structured parts
ambient or through blower.
