NTPC installs effluent treatment plant at Jhanor-Gandhar TPP in Gujarat

NTPC has installed an effluent recycling treatment plant at the 657 MW Jhanor-Gandhar TPP in Gujarat. The system proposed by NTPC’s R&D wing – NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance – will help achieve zero liquid discharge at the plant. In a separate development, NTPC plans to use the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) technology to reduce pilferage and theft of coal while transporting it through wagons on railway tracks. A one-year pilot project has already been carriedout by ISRO, which involved attaching the NaVIC system (an Indian regional navigation satellite system) onto a wagon on a train heading to West Bengal, which helped in revealing the unscheduled stops and their stoppage time.
