Cao Ngan
Location: Vietnam
Operator: Vietnam Coal and Mineral Industries Group
Configuration: 2 X 50 MW
Operation: 2006
Fuel: anthracite
Boiler supplier: Alstom
T/G supplier: Harbin
EPC: Harbin, Lilama, Vinaincom
Quick facts: In May 2002, Harbin Power Engineering won the contract for this IPP on the Cau River in Thai Nguyen province 80km north of Hanoi.
China Export-Import Bank provided a $85.5mn soft loan for the $123mn
project. Anthracite is supplied from the Khanh Hoa and Nui Hong mines and
transported by rail to a stockpile at Quan Trieu station and from there to
the plant by conveyor where it is burned in CFB boilers. Construction started in Nov 2002 and
Unit-1 was
connected in Feb 2006, a little behind schedule.

Mae Moh
Location: Thailand
Operator: Electricity Generating Auth of Thailand
Configuration: 3 X 75 MW, 4 X 150 MW, 6 X 300 MW
Operation: 1978-1995
Fuel: lignite
Boiler supplier: B&W, CE
T/G supplier: Tosi, Elin, Fuji
Quick facts: EGAT runs its own mining operations at
Mae Moh which supply about 15mn tpy of lignite. EGAT has completed an
extensive program of back-end pollution control equipment retrofits at Mae
Moh and laid up the oldest and smallest units. MHI FGD scrubbers were
installed from the outset on Units 12&13 and Noell retrofit wet limestone
FGDs on the other three 300-MW sets from Sep 1997 to Apr 1998. ABB and
Marubeni then added FGDs to the 150-MW units with completion in Feb
2000. In addition, various boiler modifications were made to reduce NOX emissions.

Pha Lai-2
Location: Vietnam
Operator: Electricity of Vietnam
Configuration: 2 X 300 MW
Operation: 2001
Fuel: anthracite
Boiler supplier: Mitsui Babcock
T/G supplier: GE
EPC: Pacific Power, Electric Power Development
Corp, TransGrid, Sumitomo, Stone & Webster, Hyundai
Quick facts: Originally planned as a BOT plant, Pha Lai-2 was eventually built as an
EVN project per a $560mn EPC award in Mar 1998. The site is 65km northeast
of Hanoi in Hai Duong province. OECF provided funding support. The local
anthracite coal is a difficult fuel with an ash content of 27-33 % and an
average volatile matter content of less than 5%. Despite the fuel’s
low-sulfur content (0.5-0.7%), the plant has an FGD system from Marsulex removing 90% of the SO2 from
85% of the flue gas. Construction started in Jun 1998 and the first 300-MW
unit went online ahead of schedule in Oct 2001, followed by the second
unit in December. Total investment is about $640mn.

Uong Bi-7
Location: Vietnam
Operator: Uong Bi Thermal Power Co
Configuration: 1 X 300 MW
Operation: 2007
Fuel: anthracite
Boiler supplier: Taganrog
T/G supplier: LMZ, Electrosila
EPC: Ekono, Lilama, Zagranenergostroymontazh
Quick facts: In May 2002, initial construction work got underway on this
extension to the Uong Bi power station 150km east of Hanoi in Quang Ninh
province. In Jul 2002, Electrowatt-Ekono was awarded a €11.2mn contract
for project management and initial engineering and in May 2003, Lilama was
awarded a $267mn EPC contract for the project. In June 2003, Power
Machines Group received an $83mn order for the main generating equipment
and, in Dec 2003, Kawasaki received a ¥2bn order for a wet limestone FGD
scrubber for the new unit. JBIC supplied some of the funding for the
$305mn plant, which went commercial on 18 Dec 2006. Some 800,000 tpy of
anthracite from the Vang Danh mine is expected to be used to produce 1.8
TWh/yr. A second 300-MW set is planned
