Commercial
operations of Kimitsu Cooperative Thermal Power Plant No. 5 have been launched
for the world's largest combined cycle plant fired by blast furnace gas and coke
oven gas. |
|
Kimitsu Cooperative Thermal Power Plant No. 5 launched commercial
operations on July 28, 2004 in Japan.
MHI has equipped the plant with a line-up of principle machinery consisting of
a gas turbine, a gas compressor, a steam turbine, a condenser and a control unit.
This power plant, which utilizes blast furnace gas and coke oven gas that is generated
in the iron manufacturing process, is located within the premises of Nippon Steel
Corporation's Kimitsu Works and was built based on an order received from the
Kimitsu Cooperative Thermal Power Company.
This plant is thus operated with the world's largest output and has achieved maximum
efficiency in its function as a combined cycle plant that utilizes blast furnace
gas and coke oven gas.
Further development of this technology will help to answer the needs of effectively
using energy and of reducing environmental burdens.
