BHI Signs 274 Billion KRW HRSG Supply Contract with Toshiba

BH HI announced on the 31st through a public disclosure that it has signed a supply contract worth approximately 274 billion KRW with Japan's Toshiba Plant Systems & Services (hereinafter Toshiba) for combined cycle power plant Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG). With this, BH HI has achieved a cumulative new order amount of 394 billion KRW for Japan this year alone. Globally, the company has secured new orders worth about 750 billion KRW this year.

BH HI plans to supply a total of three 600MW-class HRSG units to the combined cycle power plant being constructed in the Nanko area of Osaka, Japan. Earlier, in May, BH HI signed a contract with Toshiba to supply two HRSG units for a combined cycle power plant being built in the Chita region of Japan. The contract at that time was worth approximately 120 billion KRW.

HRSG is one of the core main equipment of combined cycle power plants, which have a dual power generation structure, high power generation efficiency, and a strong carbon-neutral characteristic. According to the industry, amid the recent global increase in electricity demand leading to a 'global power supercycle,' Japan is also continuing the transition of aging thermal power plants to combined cycle power plants.

In particular, this supply will be carried out using the 'Super Module Assembly' method. The Super Module Assembly method involves transporting HRSG units manufactured in the factory directly to the construction site for installation. This method significantly reduces costs and time by minimizing on-site construction, but it is characterized by a very high level of difficulty.

According to the company, cases where the Super Module Assembly method is applied to 600MW-class HRSG units are rare worldwide, which indicates excellent technological capability and product quality. Since the ultra-large structures must be loaded and transported on barges, a high understanding of transportation and outstanding product durability are required.

A BH HI official said, "It is very meaningful to once again carry out a large-scale project with Toshiba following the previous Chita combined cycle power plant construction project," adding, "The use of the Super Module Assembly method in the 600MW-class HRSG equipment strongly signifies Toshiba's trust in BH HI's technological capabilities."

He continued, "Based on the achievements in Japan since last year, we are currently engaged in positive discussions with various companies for additional orders," and added, "BH HI will take the lead in widely promoting excellent domestic power infrastructure technology overseas and enhancing its status."
