The plant layout shall make optimum use of the land and facilities to minimize the cost. The optimum arrangement of the equipments shall be determined by the considerations of functional requirements, economy of piping and electrical cables, economy of equipment supports, installation and maintenance access requirements, ventilation requirements and equipment generated noise and vibrations.

This section of the report gives the basic criteria for the design of the power plant. The design parameters like the size, layout, ratings, quantities, materials of construction, type of equipment, etc., described in this report are approximate. Necessary changes could occur as the detailed engineering of the plant progresses and such changes are permitted as long as the detailed engineering of the plant achieves the intent of this report.

2.6      GRID INTERFACE

As envisaged in the proposed project, the. exportable surplus generated will be supplied to nearby proposed 33 KV MSEB substation at Bhunj , which is about 10 kilometer from (CAIL) site location.

All the grid interface equipments required as per MSEB for this purpose will be installed in the proposed project.

The project which will be commissioned before 2004-:05 crushing season, will involve synchronization of both the 30 MW TG sets with grid, new STG auxiliaries and all required grid interface equipment.

2.7      RAW MATERIAL

The main raw material required for manufacture of sugar is sugar cane which is obtained from agriculture source existing in the region. Chemicals such as lime, sulphur, Phosphoric acid are used in the process for purification of sugar.

Lubricating oil and grease are also used as consumables in industry. The factory proposes to crush 2500 ton of sugarcane per day. Thus the factory proposes to crush about 4,50,000 to 5,00,000 tons of sugarcane per year. However the co-genearation power plant runs throughout the year, utilizing the available and surplus bagasse and other bought out bio-mass like rice husk, ground nut shell, cane trash.
