Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. has signed a contract with Zhejiang Feida Environmental Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (FEIDA), the largest manufacturer of electrostatic precipitators (ESP) in China, under which the two companies will jointly establish a new company dedicated to environmental system business development.

The joint venture company will offer comprehensive flue gas treatment solutions for the removal of PM2.5 particulate matter and other pollutants emitted by coal-fired power plants and other sources. After completing registration procedures, the new company plans to begin operating this autumn.

The new company, tentatively named Zhejiang Feida MHPS High-Efficiency Flue Gas Cleaning Systems Engineering Co., Ltd., will have its head office in Hangzhou. Utilising high-performance environmental system technologies from its parent companies, the newly established joint venture will develop and market technologies and products in China aimed at the removal of airborne pollutants, including PM2.5 fine particulate matter.

The equally-owned joint venture will be capitalised at US$6.66 million and will comprise about 40 employees at its inauguration. The new company will be headed by an executive from MHPS.

In China, airborne PM2.5 particulates and other pollutants have been spreading and become a source of concern because of their potential to adversely affect human health.

While there is a move to seek tightening of emission regulation for coal-fired power plants to the level of natural gas-fired power plants, the move has arisen only in a part of coastal area. Under these circumstances, Chinese government is strengthening emission control rules, and wide-spread adoption of high-performance pollutant removal systems has become a matter of urgency.

MHPS owns technologies and products that can remove hazardous material from flue gas emitted by coal-fired power plants, including flue-gas denitrification (DeNOx) systems, gas heater systems (GGH), and desulfurisation (DeSOx) systems.

By combining these systems, a comprehensive solution for flue gas treatment can be provided. Most coal-fired power plants in Japan are already equipped with high-performance smoke dust removal systems, approximately 90 percent of which are supplied by MHPS.

FEIDA is a major environmental system manufacturer in China with a 40 percent share of the Chinese ESP market, possessing various advanced technologies related to ESP. FEIDA will contribute advanced low-temperature ESP technology to the joint venture.

Going forward, MHPS will fully support the new joint venture's business development, and will strive to contribute to China's efforts to address environmental issues by strengthening its relationship with FEIDA.
