During the year 2022, 1st Waste-to-Energy (WtE) steam turbine generator was commissioned in Germany. The Company secured an order for three steam turbines from a world-renowned steel manufacturer in South Korea, amid stiff competition from German and Japanese companies. One of the subsidiaries of the steel conglomerate involved the TTL team from the stage of conceptualization to the installation of three Coke Dry Quenching (CDQ) plants at its 2nd largest blast furnace steel mill.

In FY'22, Company designed and supplied a 22 MW Axial exhaust steam turbine which is capable of operating at high pressure (up to 120 bar) and temperature (up to 540 deg C) for a sugar cogeneration unit in Karnataka. It undertook several aftermarket projects in the renewables sector during the year, including geothermal projects, besides refurbishing of other turbo machinery products such as compressors, blowers and gas expanders. It developed a vertical steam turbine for marine application. As part of its continuous product upgrade process, the Company worked on innovative seal technologies, such as floating brush seals, abradable seals and bearing isolators that enhance turbine robustness and efficiency. It supported Indian Navy in their indigenization efforts through refurbishment business by developing & supplying different sub-systems.

The Company bagged repeated orders during the year 2022 from prestigious customers in Southeast Asia and East Africa for refurbishment of components in steam flow path for another geothermal turbine. Besides this, its spares and service business proactively offered solutions to customers for converting extraction condensing turbines to back pressure, particularly for process co-generation applications like Sugar, along with value added proposition of efficiency improvement in some cases.

The Company was successful in finalizing an order in the Steel segment in South Korea. The customer awarded orders for three (3) steam turbines - 2 of 35 MW and 1 of 41 MW, during FY 22.
