Abstract: A thermal power plant has an exhaust gas system, a feed-water system, a high-pressure feed-water heater provided to the feed-water system, a main economizer, a catalytic NOx removal equipment, and a sub economizer. The main economizer is provided to the secondary side of the high-pressure feed-water heater of the feed-water system and increases the temperature of the feed-water by using the residual heat of the combustion gas from the boiler. The catalytic NOx removal equipment is provided to the secondary side of the main economizer of the exhaust gas system. The exhaust gas is supplied to the catalytic NOx removal equipment at a required temperature or higher. The sub economizer is provided between the high-pressure feed-water heater and the main economizer and increases the temperature of water by using the exhaust gas on the secondary side of the NOx removal equipment.
