Under the contract, awarded by Hidroeléctrica Del Cantábrico, MHPS will supply the SCR type DeNOx systems, which are the high-performance systems that reduce emissions of NOx, a cause of air pollution, by more than 80%.

The systems for 560MW Aboño Unit 2 and 361MW Soto de Ribera Units 3 are expected to enter service in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Scheduled to be installed at thermal power stations located in the province of Asturias, north-northwest of Madrid, the DeNOx systems will ensure stable and continuous operation.

The system will also allow power stations to meet European regulations on thermal power plant emissions that are slated to be tightened in 2016.

Featuring high-performance plate-type catalysts independently developed by MHPS, the DeNOx system has achieved NOx removal efficiency to meet the needs of a wide range of operating loads.

MHPS will be responsible for all aspects, right from designing and manufacture to testing operation while MHPS’s local consortium partner Tsk Electrónica Y Electricidad will be responsible for local supply, civil engineering and entire installation works.
