Isgec has achieved this milestone based on its long history of providing appropriate and technologically advanced solutions to customers across a diverse portfolio of engineering sectors. The credit, in this particular case, also goes to the company's ongoing technical collaboration with Sumitomo SHI FW (formerly Foster Wheeler).

Sumitomo SHI FW has supplied Ultra-supercritical CFBC boilers for the 2200 MWe project at KOSPO in Samcheok, Korea. This plant has 4 x 1570 TPH ultra-supercritical CFBC Boilers, that have now been in operation for over 3 years.

The CFBC technology offered is state-of-the-art and regarded as the latest generation technology that offers customers benefits in terms of Low Maintenance, Higher Availability, Higher Efficiency, Low LOI in Ash, and a wide range of fuel firing capabilities. The technology is proven to efficiently burn a wide variety of solid fuels such as low ash imported coals, high sulphur petroleum coke, high ash Indian coals, dolochar, washery rejects, high moisture lignite, and biomass.

This technology also proves to be ideal for controlling emissions. This is mainly due to the optimum and uniform combustion temperature by continuous ash re-circulation. Hence it ensures better Sulphur capture and NOx reduction.
