Enabling compliance with tightening European Emission Controls
Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS), Yokohama Japan,
received an order from HIDROELECTRICA DEL CANTABRICO, S.A. (HC: a
company of EDP Group), for two sets of selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) type DeNOx systems for installation at the
company's Power Station Abono Unit 2 and Soto de Ribera Unit 3.
These high-performance systems reduce emissions of NOx (nitrogen
oxides), a cause of air pollution, by more than 80 percent. The
systems for Abono Unit 2 and Soto de Ribera Units 3are scheduled to
go into operation in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
The awarded DeNOx systems will be installed to thermal power
stations located in the province of Asturias, north-northwest of
Madrid, having an output of 560 megawatts (MW) and 361MW
respectively. The DeNOx system to be installed will enable the
power station to satisfy European regulations on thermal power
plant emissions that are slated to be tightened in 2016, while also
ensuring a stable and continuous operation. The thermal power
stations are located near the town of Gijon, which is a famous
sightseeing spot for its beautiful beach. The installation of the
DeNOx system will play a large role in the protection of the local
environment.
The DeNOx system awarded features high-performance plate-type
catalysts independently developed by MHPS. They achieve outstanding
NOx removal efficiency to meet the needs of a wide range of
operating loads. MHPS will be in charge of all aspects from
designing and manufacture to test operation, and TSK ELECTRONICA Y
ELECTRICIDAD, S.A., MHPS's local consortium partner, will be in
charge of local supply, civil engineering and entire installation
works.
Prior to receipt of this order, MHPS had supplied a flue gas
desulfurization (FGD) system, which removes sulfur oxides (SOx), to
both thermal power plants in 2005. These two units are being
operated in good condition. The new order for DeNOx system reflects
the high evaluation accorded by HC to the performance demonstrated
by these previously installed FGD systems and our good reference of
installation of DeNOx system to existing power plant around the
world.
Going forward MHPS will continue to proactively propose its
high-efficiency DeSOx and DeNOx systems to the global markets,
particularly in Europe where demand is expected to increase in
tandem with tightening restrictions on emissions. In this way the
company aims to make significant contributions to enabling steady
power supplies while simultaneously reducing environmental
loads.
