Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd has received a contract from Elektrárna Dětmarovice a.s. a member of ČEZ Group in the Czech Republic for the full-scale renovation of the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system at the Dětmarovice Power Station. The contract covers one FGD unit provided by MHPS in 1997. The introduction of advanced desulfurization technologies will bring the plant’s sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions to a level that conforms to the new BREF (best available techniques reference) requirements for SO2/Dust emissions issued by the European Union (EU). Completion and delivery are scheduled for mid-2020.
MHPS is the primary contractor for the project. Together with its European subsidiary, MHPS will handle the design, manufacture, installation, and trial operation of the FGD system having a 300 MW capacity for the coal-fired power facility. MHPS also will dispatch engineers to the site to provide support from trial operations to handover. This project will enable the plant to meet strict EU regulations on SOx emissions.
MHPS has delivered more than 300 FGD systems to the global market. The company was the market share leader in 2018, securing 61.5% of the projects.
