Received order from LYB Operations & Maintenance Pty Ltd for natural air-cooled boiler circulating pumps for Loy Yang B Power Station [Orders Received in November 2023]

We have received an order from LYB Operations & Maintenance Pty Ltd of Australia for two natural air-cooled boiler circulating pumps and one spare motor for the Loy Yang B Power Station.

The plant is a lignite-fired core power plant owned by Alinta Energy Pty Ltd, a major Australian power company, and is located in the Latrobe Valley, 160 km east of Melbourne, Victoria. With a generating capacity of 1,200 MW, it is the third largest thermal power plant in Victoria, meeting approximately 20% of the state’s electricity demand.

This is the first order for boiler circulating pumps received by Australian Fluid Handling Pty Ltd (AFH), which became a Torishima Group company in 2022, through LYB Operations & Maintenance Pty Ltd, the power plant operator. The project entails replacing existing boiler circulating pumps manufactured by another company. In addition to the design that was in line with the existing facilities, Torishima’s technical capabilities, product durability and stability, and extensive track record of delivering pumps to thermal power plants around the world were highly evaluated, leading to the order.

Torishima has delivered more than 800 boiler circulating pumps to power plants in Japan and overseas. We will continue to contribute to the stable supply of electricity and environmental conservation in Australia while meeting the diverse needs of our customers through our products and services based on the technology and know-how we have cultivated over the years.
