Fortum completes project to cut NOx emissions at Hindalco Mahan coal-fired power plant

Fortum, a Finnish clean energy company, successfully completed its first commercial combustion modification project in India with Hindalco-Mahan Aluminium, part of Aditya Birla Group.

The project was aimed at reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions on one of the 150-MW boilers located in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The NOx emissions of a coal-fired boiler are for the first time cut down to such extent that NOx levels reached well below 300 mg/Nm3 in all loads and mill combinations. The project started in June 2019 and the boiler was commissioned in March 2020 and has been in operation since then but due to COVID-19 the comprehensive Performance Guarantee Tests were completed in October 2020.
