FGD- Flue Gas Desulfurization Plants India

With the growth of industries throughout the world, there has been an increase in pollution levels globally. Countries that are going through the phase of industrialization for their development are adding a lot of pollutants to the atmosphere. India too, on its path to modernization has contributed its fair share towards pollution.

However, in recent times many Flue Gas Desulfurization - FGD Plants India have been set up. Flue Gas Desulfurization(FGD) is a  technology, which is used in removing sulfur dioxide (SO 2) from the exhaust flue gases of fossil – fuel plants. It also helps in reducing the emission of other sulfur oxide emitting processes. FGD Technology is a technology that basically uses a sorbent mineral like lime or limestone, to remove sulfur dioxide emitted from the gases produced in the process of burning fossil fuels.

Today there are many Flue Gas Desulphurisation Plants set up in India. It is presently, the best state of the art technology for major sulfur dioxide emitting power plants. This technology has helped a lot in reducing the emission of SO2 as when fossil fuels are burned, approximately 95% of the sulfur is converted to sulfur dioxide. Hence, Flue Gas Desulphurisation Plants are a major breakthrough that enables factories to use fossil fuels without contributing too much sulfur dioxide to the atmosphere.

A Close look on Pressure Facing Procurement Services on EPC Projects

The procurement service has an important role as it is lying between the Engineering and Construction of EPC project. EPC stands for the three components of plant engineering such as engineering, procurement and construction.

MHI Engineering and Industrial Projects India Pvt. Ltd. called MEIP is a joint venture of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), Japan and Suhail Bahwan Group, Oman performs premier Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) services in India providing world class quality, state-of-the-art technology and international safety standards.

The procurement department connects and closely co-operates with the engineering and construction departments in accomplishment of the projects.

The main task of the Procurement department includes (1) Material procurement within the budget (2) Controlling the Production progress and (3) Quality control of inspections and transportation to the sites.

MEIP India provides excellent procurement services with quality goods at the optimum cost and on time. Their procurement services are reliable, integrated and cost efficient. The procurement people should have skills such as awareness to market trends, international regulations, price judgment and skill to negotiate with the manufacturers, strong will power to have tough quality requirements.

The engineering department defines the project specifications and quality requirements according to which the procurement services will perform. If engineering is not executed properly, then procurement also fails. But it does not mean that procurement has passive role in the successful execution of the project.

The procurement managers have to inspect and insure whether the materials and equipments are purchased on or before due date at the best available cost. They have to ensure whether the procurement meets project specifications and quality requirements and supplied in time.

In case of any conflict in engineering, then procurement faces the pressure. The procurement should have the capacity to anticipate the needs, forecast the result, set standard and goals. Planned and scheduled work is needed more in advance than in the past years.

The pressures may arise from different origins such as engineering, financial or related to supplier management. Without coordinating the functions and processes of EPC, Procurement Services struggle between E and C. in the course of the project.
