MHI receives a first order for blast-furnace-gas fired GTCC power plant for Hungary

MHI has received an order, jointly with Sumitomo Corporation, from Industrial Union of Donbass Corp. (IUD) of Ukraine for a blast-furnace-gas (BFG) fired gas turbine combined-cycle (GTCC) power generation unit to be installed at DUNAFERR Danube Ironworks Private Company Limited, a major steelmaker in Hungary and an IUD affiliate. The new unit is scheduled to go on-stream in December 2009. The order marks MHI's first GTCC power generation system destined for Hungary.

The BFG-fired GTCC power generation facility will be built at an ironworks in Dunaujvaros in central Hungary, approximately 80 kilometers south of Budapest, the capital. The 150 MW power generation system is targeted at effectively utilizing the exhaust gas from the existing blast furnace in order to meet part of the plant's electricity needs. The system will mainly consist of an M701S (DA) gas turbine, a steam turbine, a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and a generator.
The order calls for MHI to supply the entire power generation system. MHI's Takasago Machinery Works will be responsible for the gas turbine, gas compressor, HRSG, condenser and the balance of plant (BOP), while the Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works will provide the steam turbine.
