[Case Study] Welded Pipe Fittings Made of Stainless Steel for General Piping in Hydroelectric Power Plants
You have adopted welded pipe fittings made of stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance.
The river water around the Yonago River No. 1 Power Plant in Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture, has a strong acidity with a pH of 3.23, making it unsuitable for agricultural use and as a habitat for fish. However, in order to effectively utilize resources and contribute to the community while ensuring environmental conservation through profit return, the establishment of a hydroelectric power plant was initiated. In this context, we were approached through the Ipros site, and we had the opportunity to visit the site. We held detailed discussions to propose products that our company could provide. As a result, our extensive delivery track record to power plants, along with our quality and inspection system, as well as our ability to create documentation, were highly evaluated, leading to our adoption. The welded pipe fittings we supplied this time are made of stainless steel, model 90, 45EL, material SUS304W, sizes 600A and 400A, and thickness S10S. We believe that stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion, is essential for the river water with strong acidity used in hydroelectric power plants. In this way, Benkan Kiko's welded pipe fittings are used in various locations.

basic information
I visited the construction site of the Yonagigawa No. 1 Power Plant. The location is Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture. It was my first time seeing the actual site, and I was overwhelmed by the power of water. Nagano Prefecture is surrounded by mountains and rich in natural resources, and they are focusing on the development of small hydropower plants utilizing the terrain and rivers. Additionally, the project development is being carried out by a consortium of local Shinshu University and companies, making it a highly community-contributing and environmentally friendly renewable energy development model. Thank you to Nagano Energy Development Co., Ltd. for your cooperation. For more details, visit: www.nagano-energy.com
