JEPCO3 Completes Rotor Erection for Unit 1 of Zhongtai Chemical's Fukang Calcium Carbide Plant Power Station

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Jiangsu Electric Power Construction No. 3 Engineering Company (JEPCO3) (Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), a subsidiary of China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) (Beijing), completed the rotor erection for Unit 1 of Xinjiang Zhongtai Mining Metallurgy Company Limited's (Fukang, Xinjiang) Fukang Calcium Carbide Plant Associated Power Station Project on March 24.

The Fukang Calcium Carbide Plant Associated Power Station Project is a support project for Zhongtai Mining Metallurgy Company's 1 million-metric-ton-per-year calcium carbide in the heavy chemical industrial park of Fukang City in northwest China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region. Zhongtai Mining Metallurgy Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Xinjiang Zhongtai Chemical (Group) Company Limited (Urumqi, Xinjiang). According to the planning, the project will be furnished with four 540-ton-per-hour pulverized coal-fired boilers with four 150-megawatt (MW) steam-turbine generators in the initial stage.

Central Southern Electric Power Design Institute (Wuhan, Hubei) is serving as the general contractor for the project. The construction and erection works of the project was divided into 7 major bids. JEPCO3 won the Bid A, and signed the construction and erection subcontract for Unit 1 of the project in January 2012. As reported, the rotor of Unit 1 weighs 37.5 metric tons. Through careful preparation, the rotor was lifted and erected to its final position in about three hours under the supervision of the owner, the general contractor and the site supervisor.

Presently, JEPCO3 is working closely with all the parties involved in the project to achieve the objective of bringing the first unit into commercial operation on June 16, 2012. According to schedule, the entire project will begin operating in the first half of 2013.
