English

Subject field(s)
  • Solid Fossil Fuels
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
CONT

The project would be designed for naphtha or natural gas. The fuel linkage for the project was cleared by the Ministry of Power and Natural Gas. The fuel for the plant would be transported either from ... Bombay or Madras by rail up to Sankarpally railway station, a mere two km away from the project site.

CONT

Energy needs to be looked at in totality, and not in segments and compartments. A matching fuel policy, for the power sector would have to be outlined to facilitate the creation of fuel linkages. Domestic supplies of primary fuels like coal, lignite, and other liquid fuels, would not be adequate for setting up the required capacity. There is a need to have an "import policy" for these fuels.

CONT

Major constraints for private sector projects is the lack of funding owing to poor financial condition of the state electricity boards; flux in privatisation policy of GOI [Government of India], particularly for fuel linkages and transportation; public sector projects feature protracted and contentious bidding procedures; all projects can face opposition by environmental and other pressure groups.

  • Grain Growing
CONT

The primary function of a port grain terminal is either to load or unload ships, depending on whether it is an export or an import facility. In transshipment facilities, both functions are involved. Regardless of the type of terminal, however, the emphasis is on throughput. Storage capacity is incidental and can normally be limited to the minimum required to eliminate interruptions in the transshipment function. Other factors of course can have a bearing on storage capacity, such as the existence of local onshore markets or anticipated lengthy delays in ship movement. The geographical location of the terminal will determine which of these or other factors must be considered.

CONT

Un silo portuaire est principalement conçu pour charger ou décharger les bateaux, selon qu'il sert aux activités d'exportation ou aux activités d'importation. Les silos de transbordement servent aux deux types d'activité. Quel que soit le genre de silo, la capacité de traitement demeure le facteur primordial. La capacité de stockage n'a qu'une importance secondaire et peut normalement être restreinte au minimum requis pour assurer un transbordement ininterrompu. Il existe certes d'autres facteurs susceptibles d'influer sur la capacité de stockage, notamment l'existence de marchés à proximité ou encore de longs retards anticipés dans le mouvement des bateaux. L'emplacement géographique du silo déterminera lequel de ces deux facteurs, ou d'autres facteurs, doit être pris en considération.
