Technology ♦♦ Timely availability: As Sulfabact TM contains SOB; there is immediate conversion to sulfate, available for plant uptake. ♦♦ Dispersive properties: Due to its colloidal size, the sulfur particles in Sulfabact TM are dispersed evenly throughout the soil layer and provide efficient supply of nutrient to the soil. ♦♦ Optimum pH: Sulfabact TM is slightly acidic and provides and optimum environment for soil SOB and hence increases conversion efficiency this cleaning technology could be used for coal/petcoke-based syngas for following applications: ♦♦ Captive CHP plants based on gas turbines where H2S needs to be removed; ♦♦ Captive power plants based on gas engines; ♦♦ Small-sized syngas plants on coal gasification for chemical/ fertiliser production; ♦♦ For coke oven gas cleaning. The Bioskrubber TM plant can be made available on a turnkey basis with a buyback on the sulfur produced. Other applications of Bioskrubber TM Gas cleaning for BioRenewables: ♦♦ Biogas Genset Based Power Generation: Generation of electrical power from biogas is a more profitable option as compared to its application as fuel in the boiler. Also, electricity is easier to transport than steam or heat and supply is easily measured. Biogas can be better employed to generate power directly through Genset& the balance heat can be further recovered as steam, hot water etc. ♦♦ Bio Methane: Biogas Upgradation technology removes unwanted components of raw Biogas (H 2 S, CO 2 ) and converts it into BioMethaneTMi.e. upgraded biogas with enriched methane content as in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). Innovative Environmental Technologies Pvt. Ltd works in the field of gas cleaning which offers cutting edge technologies through gas scrubbing ranging widely from bio gas cleaning for renewable energy generation to the cleaning of gas obtained from fossil fuel. Innovative offers gas scrubber systems for gas cleaning from various streams such as sour natural gas, syngas, acid gas, tail gas and other unconventional gas streams from fossil fuels containing Hydrogen Sulphide to levels required for various applications such as power generation, chemical manufacture and transformation to liquid fuels. IETL is the leading provider in India of innovative technologies and sustainable end-to-end turnkey solutions for bio-gas cleaning through its Bioskrubber for biogas based power generation. "With over 30 projects successfully installed over more than a decade, the Bioskrubberhas its presence at all of the major biogas genset based power generation projects and some natural gas based projects in India," as per Gadgil. Application in coal sector The Bioskrubber TM has been used very effectively for over 30 projects on H2S removal from biogas. This technology has a good potential application for small to mid-sized projects for syngas cleaning, where the other conventional sulphur removal systems become unviable or too expensive. The range at which this technology can be very attractive would be for a sulphur removal capacity of up to 40 tons per day. Effectively, Gas cleaning for unconventional gas streams/ fossil fuels ♦♦ Syngas/ Acid Gas/ Tail Gas/Process Gas Cleaning: Innovative’s cleaning systems can be used for the cleaning of gas streams such as sour natural gas, syngas, acid gas, tail gas and other unconventional gas streams from fossil fuels containing Hydrogen Sulphide such as power generation, chemical manufacture and transformation to liquid fuels.

CORPORATE JSPL Odisha coal gasification unit by July Tamajit Pain Jindal Steel & Power Ltd (JSPL), the flagship company of the $10-billion OP Jindal Group, is all set to commence operations at its coal gasification plant at Angul in Odisha by July 2012, a top company official told Coal Insights. “We expect the Angul project, the first of its kind in India, to come on stream by June-July. The plant will have a capacity of 80,000 barrels per day (bpd) equivalent of key oil products (such as gasoline),” V.R. Sharma, deputy managing director and CEO of JSPL, said. Coal gasification is the process that converts coal to synthesis gas by partial oxidation using oxygen and superheated steam as the reactants. The synthesis gas mainly consists of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and methane which will be used as a reducing agent for the iron oxide to produce DRI in the shaft furnace. The company was earlier expected to commence operation last year, but the work was delayed due to various reasons, including gas pricing issues. Sharma noted that India has been a rather slow-starter to this field of energy, but gradually “coal gassification is becoming viable in this country.” While being confident of the commercial success of the Angul project, he said the company has planned to come up with similar plants in future. Already, an amount of `50,000 crore has been earmarked for coal to liquid (CTL) projects and the projects would come up by 2017, he added. Investments In order to expand its presence in steel, power and related sectors, JSPL has earmarked more than `100,000 crore investment in steel, power and coal to liquids projects, company sources said. This investment would come in phases in the next eight years, they said. A total amount of `45,000 crore has been earmarked for expansion in the steel sector, the sources said, adding that about `15,000 crore has been already invested till date. An amount of `50,000 crore has been earmarked for coal to liquid projects and the projects would come up by 2017, he said. The company has also earmarked `35,000 crore for power sector. Of this `10,000 crore has already been invested. Apart from this the company is planning to come up with a 4,000-MW hydro power plant in Arunachal Pradesh subject to government support. The total investment for the hydro power project is `24,000 crore. “We are working closely with the state government. The MoU has been signed and the rehabilitation work has started. We intend to start the project work in near future,” the official said. However, the company is still waiting for the final go ahead from the central government and its assurance regarding security matters. Commenting on the project, a power industry source said, “There is huge hydro power potential in the northeastern state, estimated at around 50,000 MW. A number of private sector companies, including JSPL and Reliance, have evinced interest in this sector. However, these projects will need active support of the governments. There are security issues and only government can dispel such concerns.” Net profit Meanwhile, JSPL is expecting to achieve 30 percent growth in net profit in 2011-12 at `3,000 crore, Sharma said. Asked about the revenue growth, he said the company expects to clock revenues of around `15,000 crore during the current year. The topline growth was around 25 percent in the nine month period ended December 2011. Earlier, on January 19, the company had reported a 6.6 percent increase in third-quarter group profit aided by a onetime gain and higher demand. Net profit rose to `997 crore in the three months ended December 31 from `935 crore a year earlier. Total expenses, including raw material costs, for the quarter jumped 58 percent to `295 crore, the company said. Jindal Steel made an exceptional gain of `25.94 crore in the period. Jindal Steel plans to build a 5 million-ton steel plant and two power plants in Jharkhand. The company, scouting for coal assets overseas to meet requirements for its blast furnace and power plants, will start output at its mine in Mozambique this year.
