Wilo Cooling Water Pumps have proved their value at Inner Mongolia Power Station

The ‘Inner Mongolia Shangdu’ power station is one of the main suppliers of electricity for northern China, with capacity of 8 x 600 MW. In its first two years of operation, the power station produced 1.58 billion kWh of electricity. Further plans included an intermediate pumping station between the Luan River and the Shangdu power station. Building such an intermediate pumping station in the grass savannah would have incurred significant additional costs, particularly in winter and in terms of road construction costs, etc. Therefore, Wilo produced an alternative solution to render the project more cost-effective and resource efficient. Five bronze-version water purification units were installed at the Chinese power station. These units had been in operation since 2005 in a water supply pumping station in Inner Mongolia. Since their installation, they have supplied the Shangdu/Neimengu power station with cooling water without any malfunctions. To do so, the pumps extract cooling water at 4 – 10 °C from a reservoir and transport it 35 km miles through pressure pipes (DN 400 – DN 1000) to an intermediate pumping station situated on a hill. From there, the cooling water flows another 35 km through another pressure pipe to the power station.
