French multinational company Alstom has been awarded a contract by Wuhan Kaidi Electric Power Engineering Co. Ltd to design and produce two 300 megawatt circulating fluidised bed boilers for the northern province of Quang Ninh-based Thang Long thermal power plant.

Once installed, these will be the largest boilers of their kind in Vietnam. The Thang Long circulating fluidised bed (CFB) boilers will utilise Alstom’s CFB design technology, and the company’s expertise in the combustion of hard-to-burn fuels, thus providing unmatched environmentally-friendly performance. The boilers will burn local anthracite in the most clean and efficient conditions, meeting the regulatory limits for NOx and SOx emissions without the need for additional back-end flue gas treatment.

“This installation is a reflection of Alstom’s world-class technology, and we will continue developing innovative and clean ways to produce more efficient energy for our customers,” said Pascal Radue, vice president of Alstom’s boilers product line.

The 4,000GWh Thang Long thermal power plant is being developed by Thang Long Power Plant JSC. Wuhan Kaidi Electric Power Engineering Co. Ltd is a Chinese power generation and construction company and the contractor of this project, which is being implemented on a turnkey basis.

Alstom operates in power generation, power transmission, and rail infrastructure. The company builds the fastest trains and the highest capacity automated metros in the world, provides turnkey integrated power plant solutions, and associated services for a wide variety of energy sources, including hydro, nuclear, gas, coal and wind, and offers a wide range of solutions for power transmission, with a focus on smart grids.
