Industries To Dodge Power Woes

  1 min 19 sec to read

Two paper mills in Sunsari have found a new way to get rid of the ongoing power crisis. Arvind Paper Mills at Narshimha and Baba Paper Mills plan to produce electricity from the steam generated in the factory.
 
According to Ananta Ram Rathi, the owner of Arbind Paper Mills, installation of the boiler for storing the steam has already started. The next step is to set up pressure turbines.
 
According to Rathi, the boiler was installed for Rs 20 million while the turbine would cost around Rs 10 million. Rathi expects to meet 80 per cent of the power required by the mill to be supplied by this project. Currently the mill is paying Rs 1.8 million as electricity charge every month. “After the installation of the powerhouse, we can save up to Rs 10.75 million annually. More importantly, we hope that we can operate our factory throughout the year.” he said.
 
Rathi said the steam generated in the factory can produce 500 Kilowatts of electricity.
 
Similarly, Baba Paper Mills is conducting a study to install similar equipment.
 
Meanwhile the companies are exploring ways to minimise the environmental damage caused by burning the husk which is used as the fuel in the boiler.
 

Eastern Sugar Mill has been using this technology since the very beginning of the mill’s operation. It produces three megawatts of electricity.
