Bhel makes fuel flexible super critical boiler

State-owned Bhel  has developed a new super critical boiler that can run on both domestic as well as imported coal, a development that would provide more flexibility for power generators.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (Bhel), a leading power equipment maker, has been designing boilers for three decades. The new boiler would provide developers with much needed freedom regarding the ratio of blending as well as the characteristics of the domestic and imported coal to be blended, it said in a statement on Monday.
