Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) has received a contract from Elektrarna Dětmarovice member of ČEZ Group, for the full-scale renovation of the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system at the Dětmarovice Power Station.

The contract covers the FGD unit MHPS has commissioned at the power plant in 1997, for which the advanced desulfurization technologies are applied. The contract works at plant are expected to be completed and delivered in mid-2020.

MPHS said that the technologies would bring down the plant’s sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions to meet the new best available techniques reference (BREF) requirements for SO2/Dust emissions issued by the European Union (EU).

MHPS is the primary contractor for the project

MHPS along with its European subsidiary will handle the design, manufacture, installation, and trial operation of the 300MW FGD system for the coal-fired power facility.

In addition, MHPS is also expected to dispatch engineers to the site to provide support starting from trial operations till handover of the project and enable the plant to meet the EU regulations on SOx emissions.

MHPS has consolidated its environmental technologies from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and Hitachi, to offer an integrated Air Quality Control System (AQCS) comprising FGD, denitrification, and dust collection systems.

The company said that the centralization is expected to establish it as one of the world’s few manufacturers offering comprehensive proposals and systems.

In addition, MHPS has contributed for reduction in air pollutants like sulfur oxide (SOx), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and particulate matter, through its advanced technologies and reliability, to improve air quality and the global environment.

MHPS claims that it has delivered more than 300 FGD systems to the international market and in 2018, it has secured 61.5% of the projects.

Furthermore, MHPS would focus on spreading FGD and other AQCS technologies across Europe, where electricity demand is projected to grow amid a trend toward tighter emissions regulations, and power generators continue to provide the energy essential for economic development, contributing the conservation of the global environment.
