Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) has received an order for a steam turbine and generator set with a rated output of 49 MW for Chang Chun Petrochemical Co, Ltd of Taiwan. The machinery on order will be the core equipment of a coal-fired cogeneration system expansion project underway at the company’s Miaoli plant in Miaoli City. The new plant equipment is scheduled to go onstream in the first half of 2018.
Chang Chun Petrochemical’s Miaoli plant is located about 100 km southwest of Taipei. Installation of the new cogeneration facilities at the existing plant is targeted at increasing its power and steam supply capacities in tandem with expansion of the plant’s production lines.
Based on the newly concluded agreement, MHPS will supply a double extraction condensing turbine capable of generating electric power and two types of process steam, plus a condenser, generator and other major core and ancillary equipment. Mitsubishi Corporation will handle the trade particulars.
MHPS previously supplied the core equipment for three existing generation facilities currently in operation at the Miaoli Plant, and to the Chang Chun Group as a whole the Company has a delivery track record of seven steam turbines and five boilers.
MHPS says it is further stepping up its marketing activities globally and in Japan for industrial in-house power generation and cogeneration systems.
