Coal-fired power plants
KEPCO E&C possesses globally competitive design technology for 500 MW, 800 MW, and 1000 MW coal-fired power plants, having successfully designed 53 units of coal-fired power plants in Korea.
In particular, based on our experience in designing 500 MW and 800 MW coal-fired power plants, we have developed a 1000 MW next-generation coal-fired power plant design and are now applying it as a core model for subsequent coal-fired power plants, starting with the Dangjin Coal-fired Power Plant Units 9 and 10 in 2007.
In addition, to minimize the emissions of harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, cutting-edge environmental facilities that exceed international environmental regulation standards (e.g., greenhouse gas reductions) have been integrated into the design, including top-tier desulfurization/denitrification facilities, electrostatic precipitators, and wastewater treatment facilities. The emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and dust was reduced by more than 70% by incorporating denitrification facilities and electrostatic precipitators into the design, and desulfurization facilities reduced sulfur oxides (SOx) by up to 95%. Thus, the 1000MW coal-fired power plant, equipped with nuclear-level power generation capacity and cutting-edge environmental facilities, is recognized for opening a renaissance of coal-fired power generation.
