Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) noted that the order, valued at INR5.5 billion, for two 135MW circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) boilers and auxiliaries has been received from Koniambo Nickel, an overseas joint venture of the diversified mining group Xstrata with a local New Caledonian company.
This is reportedly BHEL’s first ever overseas order for CFBC boilers. The company said that the equipment to be supplied against the order will be fully compliant with global standards and will be manufactured in conformity with the latest European standards.
