The project activity at Neclife involves installation of a new biomass based cogeneration system at the pharmaceutical unit of Nectar Lifesciences Limited (NecLife). The project caters to existing steam requirement of unit I and steam and electricity requirement (existing and expanded capacity) of unit II. The cogeneration system includes a Triveni make 6 MW extraction cum condensing turbine generator and a Thermax make 40 TPH capacity AFBC boiler with a pressure rating of 67 kg/cm2 and temperature 490 °C. The steam extraction is 20 TPH. The installed boiler is 40 TPH outdoor, natural circulation, bi-drum, balanced draft and bottom supported by RCC construction. Installed turbine is a steam turbine. It is multistage, nozzle governed, Horizontal spindle, extraction cum condensing impulse type turbine with two bearings. DG sets have been used as a backup. The cogen plant supplies electricity to Unit I and Unit II and steam to Unit II only. In the pre-project scenario, the electricity requirement was met by grid with DG set as a backup. The steam requirement was met by Furnace oil based boilers.

Nectar Lifesciences Limited (NecLife) has implemented a new biomass based cogeneration system at their pharmaceutical unit, Neclife. This project provides steam and electricity to both existing and expanded capacities of Unit I and Unit II. The cogeneration system includes a Triveni make 6 MW extraction cum condensing turbine generator and a Thermax make 40 TPH capacity AFBC boiler with a pressure rating of 67 kg/cm2 and temperature 490 °C. The project also features a DG set backup for added reliability. 

Key Highlights:
- Installation of a new biomass-based cogeneration system
- Provides steam and electricity to both existing and expanded capacities of Unit I and Unit II
- Features a Triveni make 6 MW extraction cum condensing turbine generator and a Thermax make 40 TPH capacity AFBC boiler
- Includes a DG set backup for added reliability

This project is important because it replaces the pre-project scenario where electricity was met by grid with DG set as a backup and steam was met by Furnace oil-based boilers. By implementing this new cogeneration system, the pharmaceutical unit will reduce its carbon emissions and improve its energy efficiency. Additionally, this project supports the use of renewable energy sources, contributing to a sustainable future.

Biomass Based Cogeneration Project At Nectar Life Sciences Ltd

The Neclife project installed a new biomass-based cogeneration system at the pharmaceutical unit of Nectar Lifesciences Limited, supplying electricity to Unit I and Unit II and steam to Unit II only. The system includes a 6 MW extraction cum condensing turbine generator and a 40 TPH AFBC boiler, with DG sets as backup. Prior to the project, electricity was supplied by the grid with DG sets as backup, and steam was produced by Furnace oil based boilers.
