Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas).

Pingwei Power Plant’s Phase III Project will incorporate two 1,000 MW supercritical water cooling coal generating units in addition to Phase I and II projects by utilizing common facilities from the first two projects. Flue gas desulfurization and low NOx equipment will be installed as part of the project.
