Uzbekistan’s national news television broadcast the progress of the project.

Uzbekistan is a landlocked country in the heart of Central Asia and serves as an essential transit route for the westward extension of the Belt and Road Initiative. Located 5 kilometers west of the town of Shirin in Syrdarya Region, approximately 150 kilometers from the capital, Tashkent, the project covers an area of about 75 hectares. It is the country’s first IPP project and its largest power‑generation facility, as well as one of the world’s most advanced 9H‑class gas‑turbine projects. The plant employs the world’s highest‑temperature, highest‑single‑unit‑capacity, and most efficient gas turbines currently available, meets “zero wastewater discharge” design standards, and boasts multiple industry firsts.

Upon completion, the project will be able to deliver over 36 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to the local grid each day, fully meeting the power demands of the three major regions—Syr Darya, Bukhara, and Samarkand—and benefiting Uzbekistan.

In this project, our company is collaborating with China Energy Engineering Group Zhejiang Thermal Power Construction Co., Ltd. to manufacture potable water tanks, instrument air storage tanks, plant‑use gas storage tanks, closed‑type expansion tanks, atmospheric condensate tanks, hydrogen storage tanks, gas‑condensing tanks, diesel storage tanks, and atmospheric auxiliary condensate tanks. http://www.jirong-thermal.com/

Drinking water tank

The primary function of a potable water storage tank is to store potable water and supply it to the following users:

Instrument air receiver tank

Instrument air receiver tank Primarily used for air storage.

Plant-use gas storage tank

Plant-use gas storage tank Primarily used for air storage.

Closed expansion tank

Closed-loop expansion A water tank is a storage device used to store water and deliver it to instruments and various water‑using points within the plant.

Atmospheric Drain Tank
