Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), Mitsubishi Corp. and Duro Felguera, S.A., a Spanish heavy machinery manufacturer, have jointly received orders for large-scale FGD systems from two major Spanish electricity providers: Iberdrola Generacion, SAU and Endesa Generacion, SA.

The FGD system for Iberdrola, which features MHI’s double contact flow scrubber (DCFS) technology, will be installed at the 367-MW Velilla 2 in northern Spain by 2008. The SO₂ removal efficiency will be approximately 95 percent. The FGD system for Endesa will upgrade FGD units provided for Teruel 1, 2 and 3 in 1999. These units will now be converted to MHI’s DCFS technology. Again, the efficiency will be approximately 95 percent.
