 "Ducon inks pact with Chinese firm for supply of emission controlling catalyst")
The Thane (Maharashtra) based Ducon Infratechnologies Limited has signed an exclusive agreement with China’s Zhejiang Hailiang Ecological Materials Co Ltd to market and distribute DeNOx catalyst for the entire Indian sub-continent. DeNOx catalyst, which is used to reduce nitrogen oxides emission from thermal power plants, is not manufactured in India and it has a replacement life of 3-4 years for every power plant.
As per the new emission regulations issued by Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MOEF) in December 2015, it is mandatory for thermal power plants to reduce the nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission down to 100 mg/Nm3 in a phased manner. This reduced limit cannot be met without installation of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system that utilises catalyst termed DeNOx catalyst.
Aron Govil, chairman of Ducon Infratechnologies Limited, said, “We are extremely pleased to have signed this exclusive agreement with this leading Chinese major. This is a significant development for us as the arrangement paves way for expanding our footprints in Indian SCR market with proven low cost DeNOx catalyst technology.”
Ducon’s DeNOx SCR systems features state-of-the-art catalysis technology and control engineering for easy erection and quick tie-in for new and existing power plants. Besides the low capital equipment cost advantage, Ducon’s systems offer versatile use coupled with complete inspection, engineering, removal and replacement services from the company. The results have been proven across multiple plants world over.
Govil added, “From a business perspective, over the next 10 years, the new SCR systems offer tremendous growth opportunity for us as we envisage approximately 256,000 MW power plant capacity in India available for installation of SCR systems at an average revenue of Rs 4.5 million per MW.”
Ducon Infratechnologies Limited provides solutions in the digital and infrastructure space to multiple business segments across varied industries. In the infrastructure sector, it intends to offer complete solutions including execution of turnkey projects in rural electrification, environmental control & material handling areas across India and neighbouring regions.
