Ecopro HN, an affiliate of Ecopro, will supply 23.9 billion won worth of nitrogen oxide reduction equipment to a Taiwan LNG power plant. The company said on March 30 it signed an order contract with BHI, a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) maker, for a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) project at the Tungshiao LNG power plant in Taiwan.

The total contract value is 23.9 billion won, about 17 percent of last year’s sales. SCR converts nitrogen oxides (NOx) generated during power production into water and nitrogen to reduce air pollution.

BHI, the counterparty to the contract, is a major company in the global HRSG market. An HRSG is a facility that reuses heat from hot exhaust gas released after electricity is generated from an LNG gas turbine to produce additional power. Ecopro HN explained that BHI recognised its environmental equipment technology and quality competitiveness, leading to the order.

Ecopro HN started in 1998 as Ecopro’s environmental business division and has provided solutions to cut air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. It accumulated core technologies starting with research in 2001 into catalysts to decompose perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and won the South Korea Technology Award in 2010.

An Ecopro HN official said the order was the result of firmly proving its technology in the overseas power generation market. The official said the company will further expand its SCR business in the global LNG power generation market, which is expected to grow to 300 trillion won by 2030.
