Jamshedpur, Feb 20: The Jojobera-based power plant of Tata Power in Jamshedpur, has been implementing some ground-breaking initiatives at its facility in a step towards fostering innovation and operational excellence.
In collaboration with GE, the Jojobera facility has deployed the DE-NOx System, featuring the cutting-edge DB+ controller.
Fewer CO2 emissions and safety measures
This innovative system not only significantly reduces NOx emissions, but also optimizes combustion, thus offering a dual benefit of enhanced NOx abatement and improved combustion efficiency, ultimately contributing to a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions.
In preparation for the evolving energy landscape, the Jojobera facility has successfully tested 40% technical minimum load operations.
