Large Capacity Power Plants

Applying ultra-supercritical pressure

technology for highly efficient power
generation

We have an impressive track record in the field of supercritical and

ultra-supercritical pressure coal-fired power plants and have achieved
a high level of trust in the market due to the high efficiency and
reduced emissions of these plants. Capitalizing on this advanced
technology, we will contribute to the stable supply of electric power
and to the reduction of environmental impact all around the world.

What is ultra-supercritical pressure?

Under normal atmospheric pressure [0.101 MPa], water boils at 100ºC.
As pressure increases, the boiling temperature of water also increases.
When the pressure is increased to 22.12 MPa, and at a temperature of
374ºC, water does not boil but is directly converted into steam. This is
called the critical point, and the pressure above this critical point is
called supercritical pressure. Supercritical pressure with a temperature
equal to or more than 593ºC is called ultra-supercritical pressure.

Co-generation Plants

Paving the way for the effective use of energy

In case surplus energy is available and electricity and steam are

required for factory operations, one solution is to integrate an
industrial purpose power plant to the factory.
Utilization of surplus energy from the factory as fuel for the boiler
and generating both electricity and steam allows effective use of the
available energy and is called co-generation. By optimizing the
system, it contributes to stability of power supply and reduction of
environmental impact.
