Our Green Energy Design & Engineering Centre has the capabilities and expertise to provide end-to-end engineering solutions from concept to detailed engineering for Green Hydrogen Generation, its Derivatives, Fuel cell, etc, for various industries like Oil Refining, Fertilisers, Petrochemicals, Iron & Steel, maritime shipping, Datacentre, etc.

The Engineering Centre carries out Concept study, Feasibility study, Proposal Engineering, Pre-FEED, FEED (Front End Engineering) and Detailed Engineering for Green Energy Projects in compliance with applicable Indian and International Standards, Codes and Regulatory Requirements. The team seamlessly works with various electrolyser OEMs and process Technology Licensors to meet the needs of customers in Green Energy Transition, Reduction of Carbon Footprint and Sustainability Endeavor.

With expertise in various Engineering Disciplines like Process, Loss Prevention, Mechanical, Civil & Structural, Electrical, Instrumentation and Control Engineering, L&T provides seamless and integrated Green Energy Solutions.

The engineering team possess the technical knowledge to select RE sites, electrolyser technology and electrolyser OEM that is best suited for a project. The team is capable to select optimum plant configuration i.e. size of RE plant, electrolyser capacity and H2 storage using an in-house developed software “H2 Optima”.

We deploy state-of-the-art Digital Tools and Software – including AutoCAD, Plant 3D, ETAP, Caesar II, STAAD Pro, Tekla, Matlab, PV Elite, HTRI, Ansys CFD/FEA - and more than a hundred Design Engineers to offer:

• Collaboration with RE producers to establish RTC input power, Energy Storage and Banking Requirements and Optimisation
• Sizing and Selection of Electrolysers and Electrolyser Utilities
• Layout Engineering for Green Hydrogen Plants and its Derivatives
• PFDs, P&IDs, Equipment Lists, Equipment & System Specifications
• HAZOP/HAZID/PHA/LOPA studies and ensuring Regulatory & Code Compliance
• Engineering for Balance of Plant Systems like Desalination & DM Water System, Cooling Water & chilled water system, Fire Prevention & Safety System, HVAC System, Effluent Treatment System, Hydrogen Compression System, Nitrogen Generation Plant and Compressed Air System.

In addition, the Design & Engineering centre can tap into the capabilities available within the L&T umbrella; namely Onshore engineering for Ammonia, Methanol, etc and L&T Sargent & Lundy for other electrical & Balance of plant engineering related activities.

Electrolyser Manufacturing Plant: In alignment with our unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence, we have recently announced the successful commissioning of our first electrolyser from the Hazira facility at Surat in India. This achievement marks a crucial milestone as we advance towards establishing a state-of-the-art cutting-edge technologically enabled factory, with plans for commercial-scale production set to commence soon.

L&T’s hi-tech manufacturing capabilities & facilities will be leveraged for manufacture of Electrolysers for Green Hydrogen Generation. This facility augmentation to Giga factory incorporates systems, processes, CNC machines, and manufacturing capabilities that are the best in its class.

Facility: L&T Energy – Green, Electrolyser Manufacturing Facility at the A. M. Naik Heavy Engineering Complex at Hazira is set up to achieve the manufacturing excellence we are known for.

The manufacturing shops are equipped with a combination of various imported and indigenous machines, and the plant layout is designed for optimum movement of material. The Facility has capabilities that include fabrication, machining, manufacturing, assembly and testing, and incorporates:

• High-speed automatic manufacturing line for electrolyser components such as Electrodes, Separation Plates, Cell Frames, End Plates & other accessories
• Automated electrode coating lines
• Robotic automation for electrolyser cell assembly & stack assembly
• A world-class testing facility to test electrolysers to its full rated capacity

Hazira (Surat, India) 

Located on the banks of the Tapti River (300 km north of Mumbai and 21 km off Surat), Hazira is India’s largest industrial hub. The fast-growing town enjoys excellent surface connectivity through NH-6 and NH-8, and has a multi-cargo port.

A new coastal highway connecting Hazira with Navsari and a project to expand NH- 6 from four to six lanes is underway.
