Power, white-sugar generation plants likely in North Bengal Sugar Mills
Monday, 28 June 2010
RAJSHAHI, June 27 (BSS): The second phase feasibility study to produce power and white sugar at Lalpur North Bengal Sugar Mills (NBSM) in co-generation method has been completed for establishing the generation plant.
The officials concerned expected that the plant would play a vital role in meeting the country's power demand along with creating employment opportunities.
According to the mill sources, work on the study for setting up the power and white-sugar generation plant in co-generation system in the mill started in 2007 based on the first phase study report submitted by a delegation from the Mechanical Department of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).
On Friday last, finally a five- member delegation from Bangladesh Sugar and Food Industries Corporation (BSFIC) reviewed the proposed plant extensively and commented positively in all aspects.
The delegation members were Director (Production and Engineering) Abul Kashem, Chief Engineer Aminul Haque, Chief Chemist Lokman Hossain, Chief Electrical Engineer Jotirmoy Barua and Chief Civil Engineer Intaj Ali.
Director Abul Kashem told the newsmen that the matter to establish power and white-sugar in co-generation system in the mill is positive in all respects.
He revealed that at least nine megawatts power could be generated from the plant everyday if three turbines are commissioned. Of which, 2.5-3 megawatts could be used in the mill.
Side by side with meeting up the demand of the adjacent Lalpur, Bagatipara, Bagha and Charghat upazilas, the rest 6-6.5 megawatt power could be added to the national grid.
