Won a Contract for Korea’s Largest Green
Membrane Facility from Hadong Thermal Power Plant
- Improving local air environment by blocking coal dust in power
plant
- Korea’s best eco-friendly plant company introducing the first
membrane structure
- Plans to actively participate in environmental improvement
projects based on the foundation that has been steadily built up in green

(Hadong Thermal Power Plant)
SAE-A STX ENTECH (CEO:
Ahn Seok-hwan), a global EPC contractor, has won an order for the indoor coal
storage facility from the Hadong Thermal Power Plant. Hadong is a 4,000 MW
power plant with a coal storage capacity of 700,000 tons. This project under
the supervision of KOSPO is worth of KRW 163.7 billion.
The indoor facility is
intended to enable internal storage and dust-prevention for coal, a raw
material for thermal power plants ? it is scheduled to be completed in the fall
of 2022, two years before enforcing the amended Air Environment Conservation
Act in 2024. STX has beaten out the competitors by planning the largest membrane
structure facility in Korea after thorough preparations, referring to its
abundant experience in green industry.
A “roof membrane
structure” introduced for the first time in the history of domestic power plant
is a structure that blocks coal dust by covering a huge membrane over the coal
storage. It is expected to make an innovative contribution to improving the
atmospheric environment. Furthermore, STX expects that they will be able to
take an advantageous approach to bidding for green facilities for other thermal
power plants to be ordered based on this experience.
KOSPO also can actively
respond to the government’s green policies and air quality improvement by
rapidly expanding facilities.
SAE-A STX ENTECH, which
is specialized in EPC contracts in chemical engineering, power generation, and
environment, has rich know-how in various sectors, especially in the green
industry. Since joining the Global SAE-A Group in 2018, it has won several
projects for anti-pollution facilities for major domestic ironworks and power plants such as Pohang, Gwangyang,
Dangjin, and Boryeong, as well as a flare system (incinerating noxious gas) in
Rumaila Oil Field, Iraq, one of the world’s largest oil fields.
“We will prevent dust
blowing and improve the living environment in the vicinity with the first and
largest indoor coal storage project using a roof membrane structure,” said Ahn
Seok-Hwan, STX’s CEO. “We will also actively engage in domestic and abroad
environmental improvement projects based on our sustainable technology and
experience accumulated in the green industry.”
