ANDRITZ to supply flue gas desulphurization plant to NTPC, India

The ANDRITZ scope of supply includes the plant’s complete basic engineering as well as detailed engineering for the absorber and other critical supplies.

Limestone flue gas desulphurization systems are well-proven and cost-effective and have been used in power stations since the 1970s to convert the main acid gas SO₂ into gypsum. They are one of the most important sources of gypsum for the global gypsum industry (gypsum board, drywall, and so on). Over the years, ANDRITZ has created an advanced scrubber design with outstanding reliability and excellent availability. Plant economics have also been optimized, ensuring low capital and operating costs.
