Nimir Industrial Chemicals Limited (NICL), a producer of chemicals in Pakistan, announced the completion of a solid fuel-fired 20 MW thermal power plant on Friday.
This will enable the company to become energy independent from sources of water and power development authority (WAPDA) and reformulated liquid natural gas (RLNG).
The development was shared by the company in a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Friday.
“The company has successfully completed and commissioned a solid fuel fired 20-MW thermal power plant. This plant has replaced the previous sources of power i.e. WAPDA and RLNG,” read the notice.
The second stage of the Chlor Alkali plant’s expansion has been finished and put into operation, according to Nimir Industrial Chemicals.
“This was linked with the availability of additional power from the company’s own thermal power plant,” it added.
The company, which makes and sells chemical goods and also contracts out the production of aerosol, soap, home care, and personal care items, announced that both plants have now been operating commercially.
