The
Nippon Petroleum Refining Corporation launches commercial operations for its Muroran
Refinery's Co-generation |
|
On October 1st the Nippon Petroleum Refining Corporation launched
commercial operations for its co-generation in the Muroran Refinery located at
Muroran city, Japan. This plant is a base load type of plant which uses asphalt
as its fuel source and is an Independent Power Producer (IPP) which came about
in 1996 as a result of the Nippon Petroleum Corporation making the winning bid
on Hokkaido Power's wholesale electricity recruitment project. This plant
has a power generating capacity of 99MW with a maximum of 50 MW targeted to supply
Hokkaido Electric Power. The Nippon Petroleum Corporation started advancing electricity
wholesaling projects at all of its refineries beginning with its Osaka Refinery
in July of 1998 and now has a total power generation rate of approximately 700MW
with the launching of commercial operations at the refinery in question. With
the high level of praise being given to the technological abilities of MHI, the
Nippon Petroleum Corporation makes use of its products at all of its refineries
