Corporate Affairs and Information REACTIVATION OF ASCL 110MW POWER PLANT IN PROGRESS. The Thermal Power Plant (TPP) of Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited is undergoing a massive reactivation in order that the purpose for which it is set up will be accomplished maximally. The Power supply needs for Ajaokuta Steel Plant is designed to be met from two different Power supply sources - from the Public Power Supply (National Grid) and the Captive Power Plant. The TPP is meant to supply un-interrupted Power to certain critical equipment of the Steel Plant which cannot withstand any power failure without causing tremendous damages both to equipment and Human life. The Thermal Power facilities include; The Thermal Power Plant and Turbo Blower Station, Air Compressor Plant, Waste Heat Utilizers, Refrigeration and Cold Water system. The Plant which was commissioned in 1987 (TG1) and 1988 (TG2) was ran until it was due for Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) and had to be short down. The Plant was restarted on a few occasions but could not be sustained due to technical hitches. The current Management of the Company has begun a high level reactivation of the Power Plant. Already the Reactivation works have recorded steady progress in many areas. The cooling water supply system to the Plant has been re-established. This includes among other works, the evacuation of mud from ten (10Nos.) cooling tower basins and the re- commissioning of same. Work is in progress on Boiler No.1 which has been under cold preservation for over fifteen months (15months). The hydraulic test of the Boiler has been successfully carried out. The demineralizing water production Plant has been reactivated and put into operations while the reactivation of Boiler number three is about to commence. http://www.ajaokutasteel.com/site/news.php?ID=38
