NTPC and Excellence Enhancement Centre (EEC) set up by Central Electricity Authority under Indo-German Energy (IGEN) programme have signed an MoU for a joint research project on “Electro-Static Precipitator (ESP) performance improvement through Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling”.
Under this MoU, NTPC will carry out CFD modelling to analyse and correct the flue gas pattern inside the ESP. It will help in decreasing fly ash emission from the power plant. EEC in partnership with VGB Germany will provide the knowledge input required for the project.
The MoU was signed by Thomas Joseph, executive director, NTPC-NETRA and BK Sharma, member secretary, EEC and chief engineer, CEA in presence of Major Singh, VP, EEC and member (Planning), CEA, AK Jha, director (Technical), NTPC and other senior officials from EEC, CEA and NTPC.
