Current Status of the Project

Satia Paper Mills Limited (SPML) is a leading integrated paper manufacturing unit in Punjab

with daily production in the range 130-150 Tons per day (TPD) of paper. The paper

manufacturing process requires thermal and electrical energy for various processes of

manufacturing unit. In order to meet the power requirements of the paper unit, SPML proposed a

rice husk based power project.

This project was successfully commissioned by Satia Paper Mills Limited (SPML), Punjab and

has been operational since July 2003.

The major equipments deployed in the project activity are as follows:

Turbine details

Description Fully condensing

Make Siemens

Power (MW) 5

Boiler details

Prior to the project activity two rice husk boilers (capacity 15 TPH and 27 TPH respectively)

were operational to meet the total steam requirements (23 TPH) of the process. The boiler with

installed capacity of 27 TPH was running on lower capacity in pre project scenario. After

installation of turbine, 27 TPH boilers runs on full capacity and generates 19 TPH of extra high

pressure steam which is used to run the project turbine. The electricity produced from project

turbine shall displace equivalent amount of electricity supply from the grid which would have

otherwise happened in absence of the project activity.

The configuration details of the boilers are as follow:

biomass in the region (50 km radius), is 26.9% larger than the quantity of biomass (rice husk) that

is utilized including the project activity.

The biomass assessment report concludes that the surplus rice husk available in the command

area is 72622 MTPA when the requirement of biomass is around 269958 MTPA.

Emission reduction

Baseline and project emissions are calculated as per the formulas mentioned in Section E of the

PDD. The same is given below:

Formulae used

The emission reduction is given by

Emission reduction = Baseline emissions Project emissions

Baseline emissions

BEY = EFY X EGY

BEY baseline emission due to displacement of electricity during the year y (t CO2)

EGY net quantity of electricity generated by the project activity during the year y (KWh)

EFY 1 CO2 baseline emission factor for the electricity displaced due to the project activity

in tons CO2/MWh (0.751 tCO2/MWh)

Project emissions

Since no fossil fuel used for the boiler operation, there is no project emission due to project

activity:

PEY = 0

1 The grid emission factor has been taken from the registered PDD.

Measures to ensure the Results / uncertainty analysis

In order to ensure the highest levels of accuracy the monitoring instruments are calibrated

regularly as per the manufacturers specifications. The gross power generated, auxiliary power

consumption and rice husk consumption are recorded in the plant log books which are reviewed,

verified and finally approved by the Director of the company. Also as a measure of quality

assurance in the data recording, the recorded parameters are reported in the excel format as well

which ensures the efficient compilation and easy accessibility of the data.

In order to avoid any kind of discrepancy in the monitoring process and to ensure quality and

error free monitoring process, regular internal audits are planned. The audit team comprise of the

in house technical experts and the senior officials.
