Power Plant
All thermal power plants produce waste heat energy as a byproduct of the useful electrical energy produced. The amount of waste heat energy equals or exceeds the amount of electrical energy produced. Gas-fired power plants can achieve 50%* conversion efficiency while coal and oil plants achieve around 30-49%*. The waste heat produces a temperature rise in the atmosphere which is small compared to that of greenhouse-gas emissions from the same power plant. Natural draft wet cooling towers at nuclear power plants and at some large fossil fuel fired power plants use large hyperbolic chimney-like structures (as seen in the image at the left) that release the waste heat to the ambient atmosphere by the evaporation of water (lower left image). However, the mechanical induced-draft or forced-draft wet cooling towers (as seen in the image to the right) in many large thermal power plants, nuclear power plants, fossil fired power plants, petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, geothermal, biomass and waste to energy plants use fans to provide air movement upward through downcoming water and are not hyperbolic chimney-like structures. The induced or forced-draft cooling towers are typically rectangular, box-like structures filled with a material that enhances the contacting of the upflowing air and the downflowing water...read more
Telecomunication

Telecommunication is the transmission of messages, over significant distances, for the purpose of communication. In earlier times, telecommunications involved the use of visual signals, such as beacons, smoke, semaphore telegraphs, signal flags, and optical heliographs, or audio messages via coded drumbeats, lung-blown horns, or sent by loud whistles, for example. In the modern age of electricity and electronics, telecommunications now also includes the use of electrical devices such as telegraphs, telephones, and teletypes, the use of radio and microwave communications, as well as fiber optics and their associated electronics, plus the use of the orbiting satellites and the Internet....

The first breakthrough into modern electrical telecommunications came with the push to fully develop the telegraph starting in the 1830s. The use of these electrical means of communications exploded into use on all of the continents of the world during the 19th century, and these also connected the continents via cables on the floors of the ocean. The use of the first three popular systems of electrical telecommunications, the telegraph, telephone and teletype, all required the use of conducting metal wires....read more

G.I.D.C.
GIDC the most customer oriented corporation, came into existence in 1962, under the Gujarat Industrial Development Act, 1962, with a vision of accelerate the pace of industrialization in the State of Gujarat. Since then there was no looking back.

Having the Corporate and registered office at Udyog Bhavan, Gandhinagar, it has extended operations all over the State of Gujarat

An entrepreneur, wishing to start an industry, would always look for availability of ready infrastructure, not only for speedy implementation but also to reduce pre - project implementation cost / time. To enable an entrepreneur to set up the project envisaged within available resources, GIDC identifies locations suitable for industrial development and arranges for infrastructure facilities that one would normally look for. GIDC industrial estates are equipped with essential infrastructure facilities like roads, drainage, power, water supply and street lights. Then there are the supportive amenities and commercial facilities like banking, tele-communication, shopping complex, canteens, schools, dispensaries, police chowky, community hall etc. In many estates there are housing facilities for workers and executives. These low cost ready to occupy houses prove to be a major boon, doing away with the need for commuting from great distances. This helps the entrepreneurs in attracting better talent and also results in enhanced productivity...read more
