Thermal muzaffargarh(1340MW):

The power station consists of the following units: three units of 210 MW each, two
of 200 MW each, and one of 310 MW. They were completed between 1993 and 1996, and
are fueled by natural gas and furnace oil. The power station is owned and operated
by state-owned Northern Power Generation Company Limited (GENCO-III)

Furnace oil is transported through Railway Wagons and tank lorries.

Presently, the total generation capability of three phases is envisaged as 1,370

MW.
Phase - 1 (Units 1, 2 & 3)
This phase consists of three steam units each capable of generating 210 MW
electricity. The supplier started delivery of equipment to site in January, 1989,
and after pre-assembly of equipment at Site, erection started in July, 1990. Unit
No. 1 was commissioned in September, 1993 and Unit No. 2 in March, 1994.

Main Building
It contains the turbine hall having a span of 45 meters and dearator bay, 12 meters
wide. The steam turbines which drive generators are of three stages condensing type
arranged transversely to the axis of turbine hall. The operational platform is at
elevation 12.6 meters and a maintenance bay at ground floor near Unit No. 1. The
power plant is designed on the block principle: boiler-turbine-generator-unit
transformer. The fuel gas exhaust section of two units is connected with a 200
meter high stack, outer section of which is a 195-meter high concrete shell.

The building is connected with the main building and it houses water treatment
plant to produce 100 t/h demineralised water for the replenishment of station
losses, hydrogen plant to provide hydrogen for cooling of generators rotors,
maintenance shops, laboratories and central control room.

Fuel & Oil Facilities

Fuel oil facilities are constructed for decanting, oil storage, preparation and
supply of fuel to boiler nozzles. It also include HSD storage as well as oil
facilities for reception, storage, purification and centralised delivery of turbine
oil and insulating oil to power plant.

Hydraulic Structures
The cooling water used in condensers is re-circulated in closed cycle with inducted
draft cooling towers. The water is being cooled for each unit in two cooling towers
each consisting of eight fans. Two cooling towers carry 27,500 Cu m/h circulating
water for condensers of one unit.

Startup Boiler
One startup boiler using diesel oil as fuel with steam output of 50 t/h is provided
to meet steam requirement for initial start of unit as well as a backup of power
plant auxiliaries. A separate stack of 30-meter high has been constructed for it.

Electrical Part
The electricity generated at 15.75 KV is brought out from Unit transformer at 220
KV and fed to the National Grid via a switchyard. Power Plant auxiliaries are fed
at 6.6 KV.

Phase-II (Units 5 & 6)

It consists of two units of 210 MW each having equipment similar to Phase-I.
Turbines are placed longitudinally in main building. Outdoor boilers exhaust of two
units is connected to one stack.
