The Shin Nagoya unit seven project was Chubu’s second largest investment in natural gas-fired combined-cycle power generation in the 1990s. The plant is located in Nagoya-city, Aichi, and is adjacent to an existing conventional thermal power station. The first turbine was fired in April 1998. On completion in 1999, the site capacity rose to 2,714MW.
.
Estimated investment for the project is $1.2 billion. Plans are in place for a second, identical combined-cycle stage, which was initially planned for October 2002. However, Chubu’s over-capacity meant a delay in implementing this second unit until 2006. The turbine components were procured in 2004 for delivery between April 05 and April 06.
.
A pilot plant built on the site of the Shin Nagoya power plant demonstrated a desulphurisation and denitrification process developed by Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) together with Chubu Electric Power and Ebara Corp. The process uses electron beams to convert SOx and NOx in the tail gas of coal-fired plant, converting them into sulphuric acid and nitric acid, respectively. These acids then react with ammonia, becoming ammonium sulphate and ammonium nitrate respectively, and these are recovered as fertiliser.
