Yokogawa Electric Corporation has announced that a consortium led by its Austrian subsidiary, Yokogawa GesmbH Central East Europe, has received an order from Austrian Energy & Environment, a major plant manufacturer, to supply electrical equipment and instrumentation for the flue gas desulphurisation systems at the Turceni thermal power plant in Romania. This contract is estimated to be worth 26 million euros.
In this consortium, Yokogawa’s Austrian subsidiary will be in charge of control and instrumentation and overall project management, and its Austrian partners Siemens Elin and ELIN EBG Motoren will respectively provide electrical equipment and motors for various types of blowers.
The Turceni power plant, located in southwest Romania is the country’s largest coal-fired power plant. With a total capacity of 2310 MW (330 MW x seven units), it generates 10% of the country’s electricity. As Romania joined the EU in 2007, it is required to bring its power plants’ sulphur dioxide emissions into compliance with the EU environmental standards by 2011.
For this project, Yokogawa will provide its CENTUM VP Integrated Production Control System; field devices such as DPharp EJX Pressure/Differential Pressure Transmitters, pH analysers, and temperature transmitters; the Plant Resource Manager (PRM) integrated the device management tool; and the Exaquantum Plant Information Management System. These products and systems will be delivered between 2009 and 2012, and will enter operation between the second half of 2010 and 2013, depending on power generation equipment requirements.
Yokogawa won this contract for the following two reasons:
* The company is the largest provider of control systems for industrial flue gas desulphurisation facilities in the Japanese market, where flue gas desulphurisation technologies are state-of-the-art.
* It won a similar contract to provide electrical and instrumentation equipment for the flue gas desulphurisation facilities at a plant in a neighbouring country (Bulgaria), and this project is going well.
Yokogawa will continue its efforts to protect the environment through projects of this type.
