WHEE 9ER project in Basra, Iraq’s water pressure test achieved one-time success for 10 consecutive times

From 8:06 a.m. to 19:11 p.m. on July 8, the hydraulic test of 9er-mx1 9 waste heat boiler of the 650 MW gas turbine combined cycle power plant expansion project in Basra, Iraq, designed and manufactured by WHEE, successfully passed! So far, the water pressure test of 10 furnaces has been successfully passed.

Iraq Basra 650MW Combined Cycle Power Plant Expansion Project is the largest clean energy order in the history of WHEE signed after Vietnam Haiduong Project, with a contract amount of RMB 420 million, which is an important symbol of WHEE's transformation and upgrading to new energy after its listing and restructuring. These ten sets of 9E-class waste heat boilers and other auxiliary equipments for the project are developed and matched for the first time in China. The technologies of the unit are advanced and innovative in China and abroad. The owner, the general contracting company, the supervisor and the boiler representative witnessed the whole process of the previous 10 hydrostatic tests in strict accordance with the standards and specifications, overcomed various difficulties encountered on site, and follow-uped the existing problems to ensure the one-time success of the hydrostatic test.
