Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Central Southern Electric Power Design Institute (CSEPDI) (Wuhan, China), a regional subsidiary of China Power Engineering Consultancy Corporation (CPECC) (Beijing), received the letter of acceptance for the engineering and survey bid for Phase I of Hwasu Corporation's plant service thermal power plant project recently.

The facility is a coal-fired power plant in central China's Anhui province, with a total planned capacity of 1,200 megawatts (MW). The project will be built in two phases. As part of Hwasu Corporation's 1 million-metric-ton (MMT) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) complex, two 300-MW subcritical pump-condensing coal-fired units will be built in Phase I.

Hwasu Corporation's PVC complex is located in Dingyuan county of Chuzhou city, occupying an area of 390 hectares. The company plans to build units for the production of 1 MMT of PVC per year, 1.4 MMT of calcium carbide per year, 0.76 MMT of caustic soda per year, and 2.5 MMT of slag-based cement devices per year, along with the thermal power plant, pipelines, a limestone mine and special railway. Phase I will consist of the construction of a 0.46-MMT PVC unit, a 0.56-MMT calcium carbide unit, a 0.30-MMT caustic soda unit, a 1.15-MMT slag-based cement unit, and a 0.6-MMT vacuum salt production unit. Total investment of the project will be $2.34 billion, including $1.1 billion for Phase I.

Hwasu Corporation is a subsidiary of Huaibei Mining Group Company Limited (Huaibei, Anhui), with joint investment from Magang (Group) Holding Limited (Ma'anshan, Anhui) (10%), Anhui Investment Corporation Limited (Hefei, China) (10%), and Dongxing Salt Chemicals Company Limited (10%) in March 2009.

Construction preparation of the project kicked off in April this year. According to the schedule construction for Phase I will last 24 months.
