T/G supplier: MHI, Melco
EPC: MHI
Quick facts: Construction on the these units stared in Jul 2005 and the
first set went online in Apr 2008. Construction was delayed twice
due to reduced load growth. LHV thermal efficiency is 58%.

Yokkaichi Complex
Location: Mie
Operator: Tosoh Corp
Configuration: 1 X 42-MW LM6000 gas turbine CHP
Fuel: methane, hydrogen
Operation: 1999
T/G supplier: GE, Stewart & Stevenson
Quick facts: In Apr 1999, this GT was installed at a Tosoh Corp petrochemical plant. The
machine burns methane and hydrogen, by-products of the naphtha cracking process at the Yokkaichi
plant. Turbine exhaust is ducted to the adjacent naphtha-cracking furnace
and used as combustion air, a modification that reduced the energy
consumption per unit of ethylene produced by over 7%.
