China's demand for pumps has recently become insatiable
Hongyanhe is the first nuclear power project to be built in northeast China and is located in Dalian City, Liaoning Province. A total of six generating units are planned for the site, which will be constructed in several phases. The first phase, which will include two generating units, is scheduled to be completed in 2011.
The Ningde nuclear power project is located in Qinyu Town, Ningde City, Fujian Province. This plant will have six units that will be constructed in three phases. The first phase of the project will include two units and has an estimated completion date of 2012.
“This contract is a result of Flowserve’s focus on the nuclear power market in China,” said Flowserve Pump Division President Tom Ferguson. “Our Flowserve Changsha joint venture worked closely with our partner Changsha Pump Works on the plan for local manufacturing, which positions us well in this growth market as China adds nuclear power generating capacity over the next two decades.”
China plans to significantly increase the country’s installed nuclear power to approximately four percent of the country’s total installed capacity by 2020. To reach this goal, China must build about 32 nuclear power units, of the size of the planned Hogyanhe and Ningde projects in the next 15 years, according to the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission.
