Thermal Power Station Muzaffargarh

Thermal Power Station Pakistan is located at Muzaffargarh, Punjab, Pakistan. It's coordinates are: Latitude= 30.106226868747, Longitude= 71.168832778931. This infrastructure is of TYPE Gas Power Plant with a design capacity of 1350 MWe. It has 6 unit(s). The first unit was commissioned in 1993 and the last in 1995. It is operated by Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO). These units made by RUSIA & CHINA.
Amid sand dunes of area known as Rakh Khanpur, at a distance of 6 km. from Muzaffargarh City, is located Thermal Power Complex. A few years back nobody perceived that such a desert would yield green trees, more than 1,500 families would be residing here and a Power Station will turn into a huge Power Complex. Now, with the day and night efforts of foreign as well as Pakistani engineers, technicians and workers, the complex has grown to the realities with three skyhigh chimneys, being highest concrete structure in Pakistan and visible from the bridge of River Chenab, which is flowing to the east of the site at distance of 8 kms. In September, 1987 contract of supply and erection of a 3x210 MW capacity Thermal Power Station was signed with M/s. TECHNOPROMEXPORT of ex-USSR, Moscow, and 1,134 acres of government land was acquired.
Initially, about 230 acres land for the Power Station and 164 acres for residential colony was levelled and subsequently construction was started. Later on contracts with Chinese firm, M/s. CMEC, were signed for three units in two stages - Two Units each of 210 MW and one unit of 320 MW. In this way a power complex emerged which is going to be the biggest of all Thermal Stations in Pakistan with the possibility of construction of two more units. 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.
