Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) has received an order to supply an M701S(DA)X gas turbine and power generator for the No.2 Power Plant of Anshan Iron and Steel Group Corporation (Ansteel Group). The equipment will form the key components of a blast-furnace-gas (BFG) fired gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plant with a 180 megawatt (MW) class output. Operations are scheduled to commence in the first half of 2019.
The order for the gas turbine and power generator was received from Ansteel International Economic and Trade Corporation. The equipment is for an upgrade project at an existing boiler-based power facility adjacent to a steelmaking plant in Anshan City, Liaoning Province. The facility will be upgraded to a high-efficiency GTCC plant. By-product gases emitted by the blast and coke furnaces will be used effectively to provide part of the electric power employed within the plant itself.
The BFG-fired GTCC facility will encompass the M701S(DA)X gas turbine, a heat recovery boiler, steam turbine, generator, gas compressor, and other auxiliary equipment. In addition to the gas turbine and generator, MHPS will supply the gas compressor, electrostatic precipitator, speed reduction unit, etc.
