IEA's 35-megawatt gas-turbine power station at Paraburdoo
Established in 1971 as a fully owned subsidiary of IHI Corp. in Japan, IHI Engineering Australia (IEA) has carried out several energy-related projects in the country that involve contracting for engineering procurement and construction (EPC), and maintenance work.

As well as energy-related products such as large, coal-fired boilers and gas-turbine generators, IEA has also constructed blast furnaces, rolling mills and materialhandling equipment, all of which are in line with its mission to continue its long history of success.

“We are certified under AS/NZS ISO 9001 for our quality management system, and are a technology-oriented company, with the highest quality products and services. The combination of the country’s specific energy demands and its wealth of natural resources makes Australia an important partner for Japanese companies such as IEA,” says Managing Director Hironobu Shikama.

With 75 percent of New South Wales’ electricity being generated by the 10 x 660 MW IEA boilers, IEA has stepped up efforts to reduce its environmental impact through cutting-edge technology.

Its efforts have made IEA a leader in “green” technologies and environmentally friendly processes in the heavy industries sectors, which gained strong support from Australian companies and the government.

For instance, oxy-firing (or the combustion of pulverized coal in oxygen and recirculated flue gas) produces a concentrated stream of carbon dioxide, which instead of being released into the atmosphere, is captured, compressed and converted into liquid form for use in various applications or for sequestration deep underground.

“Power generation is a reliable business. The size of the Australian market is large and full of opportunities for us such as the Paraburdoo Power Station, with three 35-megawatt gas-turbine generators. We have an excellent network of clients and with our long history in Australia we have established a solid reputation as the largest power-generation company in the country. We look forward to playing an important role in the future of Australia’s energy needs,” Shikama says.
