Heat is produced/emitted as a result of any industrial process. If not used effectively, waste heat is
released into the atmosphere. The Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) plant at TCCL uses residual heat without any
fuel consumption, and reduces the temperature of the exhaust gas; thus adding a positive effect to the
environment.
Thatta Cement has a Waste Heat Recovery mechanism with a capacity of 4.0 MW which is utilized for Plant
Operation. The company has significantly reduced its cost by co-generating electricity from waste heat. The
WHR unit does not require any externally fed fuel to operate, instead it uses the heat exhausted out from
the system.
The design of this plant is based on the idea of accumulating all the waste heat from the pyro process
system. The heat so accumulated is then used to generate steam from boilers that ultimately runs turbine
engine. This effectively makes us save electricity!
Thatta Cement Company Limited (TCCL) has already installed a Solar Power Project of about 1.5MW, further
extension of 3.0MW is underway and is expected to be completed by the end of year 2023.
Thatta Cement Company Limited has always ensured the introduction and adoption of the latest technologies in
line with its vision of promoting sustainable business practices. This amelioration will not only increase
the efficiency of our plant but will also assist to pare down carbon emissions.
For the last five years, Thatta Cement Company Limited (TCCL) is in process of continual improvement for
reduction of fuel consumption, reduction in specific power consumption and power generation through Green
Field Power Resources like waste heat recovery (WHR) and electricity generation from solar energy.
The successful implementation of these projects has enabled Thatta Cement to reduce CO2 emissions by up to
17,100 metric tons per annum. The emission of CO2 is significantly reduced in atmosphere.
The company is also active in other alternative fuel projects to achieve environmental sustainability: dry
sludge and rice husk are worth to mention. Thatta Cement takes pride for transformation of fossil fuel
energy into an alternative energy structure. It highlights the priorities of Thatta Cement for protection of
ecosystem
At the time of TCCL inception in 1982, its Plant’s surroundings were barren. TCCL management reserved huge
portion of land for planting trees since beginning for making this area green. More than 20% (out of 243
acres) of current area is covered with trees which includes mango (many varieties), cheeko, jamun, palm and
coconut trees, neem, gono, poplar, safeda, peepal trees mainly. Huge number of migratory birds stay and pass
from our area which is greener than before and has huge water reservoir all the year due to presence of
TCCL.
TCCL yearly spend significant yearly budget for maintaining and enhancing green area.
