The completion ceremony for Poryong Thermal Power Plant units 7&8, for which KOPEC provided Architeture engineering services, was held on June 17th in the auditorium of the Poryong Thermal Power Plant Headquarters located in Ocheon-myeon, Boryeong-si, Chungcheongnam-do Province.

Participants in the ceremony included President Bae Seong-gi of Korea Midland Power (KOMIPO), which is the client of the power plant, Park Chi-seon, the chief of KOPEC’s plant headquarters, the manager in charge of the project, and executives of the companies involved, including Daelim Industrial Co. and DAEWOO E&C, which carried out the construction work, and Doosan Heavy Industries, which supplied turbine and boilers. During the ceremony, KOPEC’s Deputy General Manager Nam Cheon-woo received a Presidential Award in recognition of KOPEC’s contribution to the comprehensive design.

The Poryong Thermal Power Plant, Units 7&8 are 500,000kw level coal-fired power generators, for which the supercritical pressure generation method has been adopted. The project, launched in March 2005, has finally reached completion after four years of construction work. Environmental facilities have been installed for the purposes of desulfurization and denitrification, along with facilities for the protection of coal fly ash, in a bid to harmonize the power plant with its surroundings. With the completion of the No. 7 and 8 generators, the Poryong Thermal Power Plant HQ has emerged as the largest thermal power plant complex in Korea, with a capacity of 5.8 million kW, comprising 4 million kW of coal-fired thermal power plant (500,000kW x 8 generators) and 1.8 million kW of composite thermal power plant (450,000 kW x 4 generators).

On the basis of the experience it has accumulated in the design of many 500,000kw level coal-fired thermal power plants, KOPEC is now fully prepared to offer “World’s Best Engineering” for the construction of power plants both at home and abroad, including the 1 million kW-class coal-fired power plant currently under construction.
