1. Profile

(1) Project site:

It is located 20 km to the northeast of Silopi Town, Şırnak Province in Turkey.

(2) Owner:

Ciner Group.

(3) Capacity:

Flue gas desulfurization of 2×135 MW coal-fired power plant.

(4) Date of operation:

May 2015

(5) Investment, construction and operation:

It was invested by the Owner, built by CMEC, designed and supplied by Fujian Longking Co., Ltd.

2. Major environmental problems to be addressed

SO₂ emission control of flue gas from the coal-fired power plant.

3. Environmental standards and/or main index limits to be followed

The national emission standard of Turkey requires that SO₂ emission concentration of the newly built coal-fired units with the generating capacity of no less than 100 MW shall be no more than 200 mg/m³. The IED requires that SO₂ emission concentration of coal-fired units with the generating capacity of no less than 100 MW shall be no more than 200 mg/m³.

4. Technological process

After passing through the circulating fluidized bed boiler, the circulating fluidized bed SDFGD is adopted for desulfurization.

5. Environmental pollution control effects

The SO₂ emission concentration of circulating fluidized bed boiler was≤2000 mg/m³, and the SO₂ emission concentration after flue gas cleaning was<200 mg/m³, and the acidic gases such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, sulfur trioxide and so forth were purified.

6. Social benefits

After the project was put into operation, all the operating parameters met the design requirements and contributed to the local atmospheric environment protection, and it was recognized and praised by the Owner.

7. Economic benefits

The project ensured stable operation of the front-end boiler and created good economic benefits for the Owner.

Project significance: Turkey has strongly advocated the development of coal-fired power since 2010, and plans to develop its own coal fields to build coal-fired power plants by 2023. The coal resources of Turkey are characterized by low calorific value, high ash content and high sulfur content, and must be treated by the flue gas cleaning unit when it is used as the fuel for power plants. The generating unit of the project is provided with the SDFGD system with benchmarking significance in Turkey, bringing advanced technical equipment and blue sky and white clouds to the region, and actively promoting economic and trade exchanges between China and Turkey in response to the “Belt and Road” Initiative.
