Kawasaki Wins Order for Heat Recovery Power Generation in China

 Tokyo, December 1, 2005 – Kawasaki Plant Systems, Ltd. (K Plant) announced that it has received an order from Chinese cement giant Anhui Conch Cement Co., Ltd. for waste heat recovery power generation systems to serve 11 cement plants in eight mills. The deliveries are scheduled to be made between July 2006 and January 2008.

 When the systems are installed in the cement plants, electricity will be generated by a steam turbine generator after special boilers recover waste heat gas generated during the precalcination process of production. This technology has been adopted in most large cement plants in Japan, since it can achieve more effective use of waste gas, energy savings and environmental conservation. China now faces the challenge of rapidly accelerating power demand driven by economic expansion, and the environmental impact imposed by such expansion. These factors are believed to be behind Anhui Conch's decision to introduce K Plant's systems.

 The latest order from the company, which is under the umbrella of the Anhui Conch Group, is for plants with power outputs of 8,300 kW to 30,500 kW, totaling approximately 200,000 kW. K Plant will manufacture the main equipment, provide designs for other equipment to be supplied by the client, oversee installation, and supply supervision and technical support.
