The SM200 project involves constructing two 100MW units of coal-fired power plant (200MW in all) in Mindanao, Philippines. Daelim built 1 out of the 2 units, and construction was started in December 2012 and completed in April 2016 with zero accidents. Daelim applied an eco-friendly technology, circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler*, for the first time.
* CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) boiler: Unlike the existing boiler that burns coals, a CFB boiler is an eco-friendly technology that reduces the emission of pollutants by continuously circulating and completely combusting coals.
