Jindal Stainless was felicitated by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, during BHEL SAMVAAD 3.0. The felicitation was received for developing C276 cladded plates, used in thermal power plants, and alloy steel plates SA387 GR 91 (9 Cr 1 Mo), for application in supercritical boilers.
Through innovative research and several trials, Jindal Stainless developed indigenous world-class technology for the hot roll bonding process required to manufacture these products. The products supplied to BHEL were manufactured at the Hisar facility of Jindal Stainless. After successful pilot experiments, commercial-scale experimentation was accomplished to establish the technology within a time span of 4–5 years.
Currently, these products are utilized within the absorber chamber of Flue-gas desulphurization (FGD) units within thermal power plants. The primary purpose of this absorber unit is to mitigate environmental emissions via a sequence of chemical reactions. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change of India (MoEFCC) has issued new standards to reduce Sulphur dioxide, particulate matter, and nitrogen dioxide. In accordance with these directives, all thermal power plants are undergoing upgrades and modernization, integrating FGD systems across the nation.
