50 Manufacturing Companies – Thermax

Considering that Thermax operates mainly in energy and environment, sustainability has been at the heart of the organisation’s thinking. For instance, its heating products support the manufacturing process for various sectors (could be textile, pharma or food processing) and are engineered to operate at high efficiencies.
Similarly, many of the captive power plants that Thermax builds uses waste energy. The heat sent out into the atmosphere otherwise is captured and converted into power. “We can generate approximately 10MW to 20MW electricity from waste gases alone from cement plants, which is almost equal to half the energy needed for their processes,” adds Unnikrishnan. He can cite several examples of how the company has looked at successfully using waste from effluents and converted them into fuel. Few know that it uses the spent wash (an effluent from a distillery) as fuel for boilers and the steam produced from that is again used to generate electricity. 
Thermax makes all its systems and products across its 14 manufacturing plants in India and around the world, with eight facilities in India alone. Each of these plants is equipped with top-of-the-line equipment and manufacturing processes that are world-class. With 13 different platforms of software, the manufacturing plants bring out superior products to be used in critical applications.
