GE to supply 9E gas turbine system to JFE Steel in Japan

CTBR Staff Writer Published 19 June 2012

GE has agreed to supply JFE Steel with a heavy duty Frame 9E gas turbine system that will help the Japanese steel producer in its gas-to-energy recovery project at the East Japan Iron Works in Chiba City, Japan

To be installed by engineering, procurement and construction contractor Toshiba Plant Systems and Services, the 9E gas turbine will power the 150MW combined -cycle power project. In addition to the 9E gas turbine, Toshiba will also install GE-designed 9A5 generator at the same facility.

JFE steel has a stringent resource and energy conservation program that it implements at the East Japan Iron Works facility and the new combine-cycle will look to further the same.

Using the steel-mill's own blast furnace and coke oven gases to generate on-site power, the combined-cycle plant will help reduce the facility's annual CO2 emissions.

"As one of the world's leading supplier of gas turbines, we are excited to demonstrate how our heavy duty turbines have the operational flexibility to help JFE and other steel producers effectively deal with their gases that have fluctuating thermal qualities," said GE Energy president and CEO of Thermal Products Paul Browning

As part of the comprehensive 15-year parts supply and repair service agreement GE in addition to supply of the components will also service them.
