The Process Equipment business of Godrej Enterprises Group has bagged an order for an Advanced Direct Contact Condenser (ADCC) based on its in-house Ecolaire® technology for a geothermal power project in the Asia-Pacific region. This project underscores India’s growing role as a global key equipment supplier to the renewable energy sector. The equipment will be manufactured and dispatched from their manufacturing facility in Dahej, Gujarat.
The Advanced Direct Contact Condenser is used to condense steam from the turbine exhaust by mixing it with cooling water. ADCC directly mixes steam and cooling water, allowing for efficient heat exchange and condensation. It also allows for higher plant efficiency as the back pressure on the turbines is reduced thus increasing the power output. It can be designed for lower condenser pressure and/or less cooling water flow which helps in reducing the size of other major components.
To strengthen its capabilities, the company has invested Rs. 3 bn for the expansion of its Dahej facility, increasing production capacity and capability for specialized and complex equipment while integrating sustainable practices. These strategic initiatives underscore Godrej’s dedication to innovation, sustainability and global growth.
