Yokogawa Wins Order to Provide Control Systems for
By-product Gas-fired Power Plant at Indonesian
Steelworks
Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that its
subsidiary, Yokogawa Electric Korea Co., Ltd., has won an
order from POSCO ICT*1steelworks, which is
being constructed in Cilegon, in Indonesia's Banten
province.
This power plant will have two 100 MW power generation
units that will use the steelworks' by-product gases as
their main fuel source, and is scheduled to start operation
in April 2014. This order is for CENTUM®VP
integrated production control systems for the boilers,
auxiliary boiler facilities, and auxiliary turbine
facilities in each of the power generation units. The first
unit's system is scheduled to be delivered in January 2013.
Yokogawa has delivered numerous power plant control systems
to customers in industries such as oil, chemicals, iron and
steel, and pulp and paper. Over 50 Yokogawa control systems
are operational in power plants that utilize by-product
gases such as the blast furnace gas and coke gas generated
at steelworks. POSCO currently uses Yokogawa control
systems in nine 100 MW power generation units at its
Gwangyang Steelworks. In addition, Yokogawa has installed
300 control systems at oil refineries and other facilities
throughout Indonesia, and has established an extensive
service network in this country. This is why Yokogawa was
able to win this order.
Iron and steel companies worldwide are striving to save
energy and reduce their environmental impact while
upgrading their production facilities to improve
efficiency, and companies in Indonesia are no exception.
Yokogawa is expanding its power business globally by
responding to these customer needs and is strengthening its
sales activities in the booming Indonesian market.
