Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilisers (RCF) is planning to invest Rs 363 crore for reducing consumption of energy at its two urea-ammonia units at Thal in the state of Maharashtra. The company is looking to change the existing steam turbine driven machinery to the motor driven mode in the two units.
The proposed changes may save around 10,601 SM3/hr (standard cubic meter per hour) of natural gas, 6,643 cubic meter per day (CMPD) of water and 233 metric tonne per hour (MTPH) of high pressure steam.
This step by the company is in line with government’s new urea policy, which lays emphasis on making the production units more energy efficient.
