Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS; Yokohama, Japan; www.mhps.com) has received a contract from Elektrárna Dětmarovice a.s. a member of ČEZ Group in the Czech Republic for the full-scale renovation of the fluegas desulfurization (FGD) system at the Dětmarovice Power Station. The contract covers one FGD unit provided by MHPS in 1997. The introduction of advanced desulfurization technologies will bring the plant’s sulfur dioxide emissions to a level that conforms to the new BREF (best available techniques reference) requirements for SO2/Dust emissions issued by the European Union. Completion and delivery are scheduled for mid-2020.
MHPS is the primary contractor for the project. Together with its European subsidiary, MHPS will handle the design, manufacture, installation, and trial operation of the FGD system having a 300 MW capacity for the coal-fired power facility. MHPS also will dispatch engineers to the site to provide support from trial operations to handover. This project will enable the plant to meet strict E.U. regulations on SOx emissions.
MHPS had consolidated its environmental technologies from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Hitachi, Ltd., giving it the capacity to offer an integrated Air Quality Control System (AQCS) comprising FGD, denitrification, and dust collection systems. This centralization established the foundation for MHPS as one of the world’s few manufacturers capable of offering comprehensive proposals and systems. Utilizing world-leading technologies and reliability, MHPS has contributed to considerable reductions in air pollutants such as sulfur oxide (SOx), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and particulate matter, significantly improving air quality and the global environment.
