Percommenti editoriali, si prega dicontattare l'editore.October 2010 could signal the start of one of the mostremarkable energy-generating experiments in historywhen US scientists will use the world's most powerfullaser to try and initiate a sustained fusion reaction.It’s all happening at the £2 billion National Ignition Facility(NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California,USA, which opened last year. Here,192 laser beams will focuson a target the size of a peppercorn to trigger a self-sustaining fusion reaction, achieving 1.8megajoules through the combined energy of the beams.Some experts are calling this the ‘beginning of a revolution which could change the science andpolitics of energy generation forever’.When the nuclei of atoms are crushed so tightly together that they fuse to form a heavierparticle, nuclear fusion happens. A self-sustaining chain reaction occurs as more atomic nucleicollide, releasing huge amounts of energy in the process, in line with Einstein’s prediction, E=MC2.All stars are driven by nuclear fusion but nobody has achieved a sustained fusion reaction undercontrolled conditions because of the vast temperatures and extreme pressures required in aconfined space. Self-sustaining fusion requires conditions more intense than at the centre of theSun, with temperatures in excess of a 100° million Centigrade.Working at the NIF, the team leader Dr Siegfried Glenzer and his colleagues have reported thatearlier experiments - in which all 192 of the lasers were tested on targets empty of fuel - achieveda beam energy of about 40% the NIF's maximum. This is a very encouraging result, says Dr Glenzer.Bulletins from the NIF confirm that the preliminary attempts in the laboratory to produce a selfsustainingfusion reaction designed to generate ‘clean power’ will begin in May 2010.For more information on thisUS experiments could make clean, renewableenergy a reality?

NEWSIn brief...Big wind for ScotlandFluor Limited, and SSE(Scottish and SouthernEnergy plc), have beenawarded exclusive rightsby The Crown Estate todevelop the Round 3 offshorewind farm zone inthe Firth of Forth, off thecoast of Scotland.The proposed zone is 22kilometres from the Eastcoast of Scotland, andcovers an area of 2,852square kilometres in theouter Firth of Forth. Thezone has a potentialinstalled capacity of up to3.4 gigawatts which wouldalmost double Scotland'sentire existing renewablescapacity.New Houston basefor APGAllied Power Group hasopened its new Houstonfacility, a 70,000 sq.ft. HQto handle sales, repairsand warehousing in onelocation. Allied's productline now includesWestinghouse 501F and GEFrame 7FA+e turbines forparts & repair. See p.18.Biofuel deal by BABritish Airways has strucka deal to build the firstplant in Europe toproduce jet fuel fromwaste matter. Some500,000 tonnes of wastewill be used by a UKfacility each year toproduce 16 million gallonsof fuel. Construction ofthe plant in east Londonwill start within twoyears. It is set to producefuel from 2014, creatingup to 1,200 jobs. Thewaste is fed into a hightemperature ‘gasifier’ toproduce BioSynGas.Waste products from theprocess can be used topower the plant as well assupply 20MW of electricityto the national grid.Energetix signs with US GridEnergetix Group plc, a group ofcompanies with three cost-effectiveproducts (Pnu Power, Genlec andVPhase) to meet the growing demandfor alternative energy, hasannounced a new deal with theNational Grid US.Through its US associate companyEnergetix Technologies Inc., the newcontract from National Grid US willinvolve testing its compressed-airbackup power system for utilityswitching applications.According to Energetix the successfuloperation of the trial unit will leadto full deployment of Pnu Power atanother National Grid US site.The first Pnu Power unit will beinstalled on a trial basis at a NationalGrid electricity substation in RhodeIsland.The company believes that the trial will prove thesystem's suitability for use in substations and otherapplications where lead-acid batteries and chargersare conventionally used.It also anticipates that the system will result insignificant savings for the National Grid US in termsof both installation and operating costs. NationalGrid US delivers electricity to approximately 3.3million customers in the US, in New York,Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.It is part of National Grid plc, which is alreadytesting a Pnu Power unit at an electricitysub-station in Cheshire UK.Biogas plant making power for CzechsThere’s currently a boom in theCzech republic for renewableenergies involved with powerproduction. One of those workingin the region is the biogas plantmanufacturer, WELtec BioPowerGmbH, which has built more than200 biogas plants, with exportsaccounting for more than 20%. In2009, WELtec BioPower receivedWELtec BioPower plant.WPnu Power system installation.an order for a biogas plant inLiberec, Northern Bohemia,where the chosen feedstock wasmaize, manure, and grass silage.The €1.2-million plant, which hasbeen operational for just eightweeks, features two fermentersof about 88,000 cubic feet eachand two final storage units with avolume of 141,000 cubic feet.At the combinedheat and powerplant, a 536-kWgas-enginegen-set nowproducess greenenergy sufficientto meet the fullequivalentneeds of 1,000three-personhouseholds.Both the EU andthe Czechgovernment currently providespecial investment incentives forall biogas plant projects in theCzech Republic.As the per-capita carbon-dioxideemissions in the Czech Republicfeature high on the agenda, thereis a compelling need for areduction in CO2 emissions. Inline with the EU climateprotection goals, the governmentintends to generate 10% of theenergy from alternative sourcesby mid-2010.Back in early 2008, this ratio wasonly about 4% for the CzechRepublic.

NEWSLithium-ion technology visitsMars’ 2nd moon, PhobosThey’re compact, reliable andable to survive the blistering heatof the sun unshielded byatmosphere. They can evensurvive the deep cold of space foryears on end - and still deliver theright charge when required.We’re talking about Lithium-ionpolymer batteries.Their extensive use in the Marsmissions have been pioneeringsteps in the progress of higherenergy densities, performance,overall quality and extendedcalendar life for energy storage inspace.Produced by ABSL Space Products,the Lithium-ion batteries providea greatly reduced mass to energydensityratio and no 'memoryeffect' found in other batterychemistries. Their design allowsthem to fully recharge every timeand gives them a greateroperating temperature range -allowing them to function even inorbit or on the surface of Mars.On March 1st, 2010, ESA's MarsExpress skimmed the surface ofMars' largest moon Phobos, passingby at an altitude of 67 km. Thanksto the onboard power supply, theMars Express engaged in a seriesof 12 flybys of Phobos. At eachclose pass, different instrumentswere trained towards themysterious space rock, gainingnew information. From closerange, Mars Express was pulled'off-course' by the gravitationalfield of Phobos. This amounted tono more than a few millimetresevery second and did not affectthe mission in any way.However, for the tracking teamson Earth, it allowed a unique lookinside the moon to see how itsmass is distributed throughout.It turns out Phobos may have aninterior with the hollowconsistency of a ‘Malteser’.Phobos - a place with zeroatmosphere.The MarsExpress - till boldly going - all thanks tolithium ion batteries [see pic below].Lithium-ion units continue to be inthe news.On 22nd October 2009, the ESAPROBA spacecraft powered byABSL lithium-ion achieved itseighth year in orbit.

SHAREWATCHIs the UK recession really over?Economic analyst Christopher Hopkins considers whether the UK economy has trulyrecovered from the effects of recession - or if this is just a cruel illusion?It seems the predictions were wrong,but the commentators are inevitablyright. The BBC last month reportedthe Office of National Statistics' joyousnews that the UK economy has finallyrecovered from recession. This wasslightly earlier than some predictions hadexpected since it refered to the delayedanalysis of the final quarter of 2009,which showed the UK grew by a tentative1%. But, as cautioned back in December,the growth of the economy and an officialend to one of the longest recessions inliving memory is only the beginning.According to the same reportsunemployment has only recently peakedand begun to fall; or, indeed, bottomedout depending on how you feel aboutglass half full/empty analogies.The response from the UK governmentwas reserved for the most part, andunderstandably so considering the growthwas lower than expected, to the extentthat even Alistair 'Optimism' Darling had awary word or two:"We are on a path torecovery...I'm confident but I'll alwaysremain cautious."Meanwhile, Darling's arch-nemesisGeorge Osborne showed his Oxbridgeeducation didn't go to waste with someinformative economic analysis, "Let's beclear - this [1%] is about as weak growthas you can get."Thanks George. Where would we bewithout such incisive counting skills in ourelected epresentatives?To the sound of relieved sighs inDowning St, the UK's growth was revisedupward two weeks back - from 1% to ancomparatively impressive 3% .This was particularly good newsconsidering there was some doubt as towhether the UK would indeed stay in theblack after the revision - which wouldhave been an embarrassing back track tosay the least!In other economic news, banks wereweighing up the merits of tax or insurancelevy as the way to protect financialinstitutions from collapse in a prospectiveCompany(Currency)Monthlyshare pricefuture crisis .

GAS TURBINESGas Turbine Efficiency& the Gila River Power StationThe Entegra Power Group's Gila River Power Station in Gila Bend, AZ, features theECOMAX system which has provided Entegra with solutions to control emissions,manage dynamics and provide increased output without exceeding OEM design limits.Gas Turbine Efficiency plc is at theforefront of a quiet revolution. ItsECOMAX gas turbine optimisationsystem, currently in place at EntegraPower Group's Gila River Power Station inGila Bend, AZ, represents a state-of-theart technology with the highestenvironmental credentials.The ECOMAX system has effectivelyprovided Entegra with a suite of solutionsto control emissions, manage dynamicsand provide increased output withoutexceeding OEM design limits.With OEM operational enhancements ata premium, Entegra sought GTE'sexpertise to enhance the performance ofits gas turbines. Other power producershave too, as there have been manyinstallations of the system in addition tothe Entegra site.GTE's ECOMAX product line offers a fullyautomated solution that can optimise gasturbine combustion system performancein near real-time. As an automated tuningsystem, ECOMAX can increase powerpotential and maintain operationalflexibility while remaining compliant inemissions regulations.By installing ECOMAX, gas turbineoperators select predefined parametersthat allow for greater flexibilityin matching turbine performancewith operational goals. If themarket price of power spikes, anoperator could change his or hergoal to maximise output from lowheat rate, and when the marketprice of power declines, the highefficiencygoal to conserve fuelcan be re-established.ECOMAX is typically evaluatedby the performance of a siteaudit. The site audit identifiesoperational goals and outlines a baselinedeployment of the system to allowdetermination of benefits in terms ofincreased output, improved efficiency aswell as management of emissions andcombustion dynamics. Derived benefitsare typically used by the operator tojustify the ECOMAX deployment. Thesystems have currently been applied toLean Premixed Combustion systems,typically termed Dry Lo NOx ( DLN ) orDry Low Emission ( DLE ) systems. ECOMAXmanages emissions to operator-definedlimits.Gas turbines equipped with the ECOMAXsystem can avoid seasonal tuning byproviding near real time tuning - a clearThe Gila River Power Station.[Pic: courtesy of GTE]advantage for power plant operators, saysthe company. ECOMAX sites are alsosupported by GTE's proprietary Monitoringand Diagnostics (M&D) centre, whichprovides the power plant operator with aproactive method of monitoring theirmajor equipment.Since the implementation of the M&Dcentre in 2009, customers have avoidedunit trips or service interruption andimproved efficiency through plantconfiguration management.This has increased the effectiveness ofplant manoeuvers and tests - all of whichhas improved revenue for the client,reports GTE.

HIRE & RENTAL EQUIPMENTPower on demand: the role ofhire & rental equipmentCan purchasing power-generating equipment truly be cost-effective or does it createsignificant liabilities? Julian Ford, Marketing and Sales Development Director, AggrekoInternational, talks to WIP about the dichotomies which exist.Julian Ford, Marketing and SalesDevelopment Director, AggrekoInternational, is well used toproviding heavy-duty equipment forcompanies around the world. He tellsWIP: "Now more than ever, companiesneed to give very careful consideration tothe options for securing additional powersupplies.It is all too easy to follow the purchaseoption and we have seen many companieswho have ignored the hidden costs ofmaintenance and operation, only todiscover that their purchase has become aliability, costing significantly more thananticipated and crucially, not providingthe power they need.”The decision to be made betweenpurchasing a power system or employingpower rentals will depend largely uponthe urgency of finding a solution to thepower problem being faced and thelength of time the power solution will beneeded for.The current needs of companies tocontrol capital costs whilst not neglectingtheir company's business needs is creatingnew interest in power rentals as rentalsoffer financial benefits.An immediate benefit of power rentals isthat they avoid the need for large capitalexpenditure. In most cases, the financialAggreko recently won two contracts to hire215MW of temporary power from companies inOman and Panama. The combined worth of thehire contracts is US$75m.benefits of power rentalswill compare favourablyagainst the large fixedcosts of a power plantthat will tie up largeamounts of a company'sworking capital.There are many otheradvantageous featureswhich make theproposition of rentingpower suppliesincreasingly attractive,such as improved cashflow and the speed bywhich the much needed power can besupplied to the user.Other key factors: there are no downpayments for a loan for power plantpurchase required and power rentals havea guaranteed payments schedule over theagreed term, with options to extend therental period if required.Additionally, the power rentals optionprovides the end user with operationaland maintenance services from thespecialist power rentals company.The decision to rent power simply meansthat the company transfers the costuncertainties and the risks of powerequipment ownership onto the powerrental company.During an economic upturn,the lead-time for the purchaseof generation equipment canbe anywhere up to two years,meaning that companies whichneed power urgently will finda rental option veryattractive, due to the 'fasttrack'aspect of rentals.However, the currentfinancial turmoil isencouraging companies to60MW of power - units hired out by Aggreko.consider rental for different reasons, suchas how to better utilise working capitaland to ensure that it is not tied up inlarge capital purchases for items such aspower plants.When deciding between power plantpurchase or power rentals, a companyshould first evaluate the many hiddencosts that are incurred with purchasing apower plant.Insurance is one key item which is oftenoverlooked by companies seeking topurchase such equipment. Also, withpower plants there are a multitude ofspare parts and ancillary items that needto be purchased regularly to ensure thatthe power system is operable.Not only do spare parts need to bepurchased, but they also require storagespace and skilled engineers to install thespares.With power rentals all plant spares andancillary items are the responsibility ofthe rental provider, thus enabling thecustomer to budget more effectively.Internet linkwww.aggreko.comWIP20MARCH 2010 • WORLDWIDE I NDEPENDENT P OWER

LOADBANK TESTINGWhat is loadbank testing -and how does it work?Alan LuscombeAlan Luscombe, Sales & Marketing Director of Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd,explains the technicalities behind testing the power protection system under loadconditions without risking the supply to the protected loads.AUPS (uninterruptible power supply)sits between an alternative sourceof power - such as a standby dieselgenerator - and protected loads. Most UPSare designed to power connected loadscontinuously via their inverter, which alsoenables conditioning of mains supplyvoltage and insurance of a break-freesupply of electrical energy in the even ofa mains failure. In most applications, UPSare considered critical to businesscontinuity without which loads would notbe able to operate during a power outage.For this reason, loadbank testing isimplemented to ensure UPS can meet therequirements of their intended functionwhen most needed.Loadbank testing is a way of validatingthe correct operational performance andbattery autonomy of the UPS system. Ittests the UPS and generator under loadconditions. It is most often carried outduring preventative maintenance.As a UPS battery set is only as strong asits weakest battery cell, loadbank testingcan also be used to ascertain thecondition of UPS batteries and batterysets (or 'strings' as they are also known) toindicate if any individual cells areapproaching the end of their working lifeGood preventative maintenance isessential, says Alan Luscombe.and not holding a chargeor about to fail. Thisenables them to bereplaced in advance ofcritical application.Loadbank testing isoffered as a service bysuppliers of powerprotection equipment.Some suppliers offer loadbanktesting as part ofthe UPS commissioningprocess but caution mustbe exercised: ideally it should be carriedout at least one week after the UPS hasbeen commissioned to permit the voltageacross the battery blocks to equalise andbatteries to be fully charged. Loadbanktesting prior to this will not yield accurateresults, or give a true picture of how thesystem is running, and thus be a waste oftime and money.Suppliers of loadbank testing normallycarry their own small loadbanks (typically100kW or less) and will hire in largerdummy sets to test larger UPS systems asrequired. These loadbanks are typicallyresistive (neither inductive nor capacitiveand with no initial switch-on surge).Current rises immediately to a steadystate. Loadbanks like these are availablefor either ac or dc systems.An ac loadbank is used to test entire UPSsystems, whereas a dc loadbank will beused to test batteries. Reactive loadbanksare also available (typically with a laggingpower factor 0.8) but they tend to belarger and heavier in design.The point is to test the power protectionsystem (and component parts) under loadconditions but without risking supply toprotected loads. A loadbank should besupplied with suitably-rated cables, whichenable it to be placed no more than 20UPS system and battery systems.metres from the UPS terminals or outputpower distribution unit (PDU).A loadbank test will provide timelyidentification of problems with thegenerator and UPS and an indication ofremedial actions that should be taken.In the case of a standby generator, aloadbank test will indicate the engine'sability to provide the required power; thealternator's capability to provide therequired voltage stability; stablefrequency; efficiency of control systemsunder varying conditions of load;performance of the whole system; oil andfuel pressure. It will also help removedeposits from pistons, engine castings andexhausts, identify potential weaknessesand record results and any work required.Loadbank testing costs include the hireof the equipment (for larger systems)where applicable, engineer time andtemporary cable provision andconnection.Loadbank testing itself should be carriedout prudently and with caution as it canreduce system resilience, dischargebatteries and may, in that case, placeconnected loads at risk.WIPInternet linkwww.upspower.co.uk22MARCH 2010 • WORLDWIDE I NDEPENDENT P OWER

VALVESValves for power systems -what’s new and what’s hot?[Above] 3-way valve schematic.Used extensively in extraction lines from steam turbines, feedwater heaters, heatingsystems, process equipment, lines from heat exchangers, valves form an essential part oftoday’s energy production systems, reports Schutte & Koerting.Ask any power systems engineer andhe or she will tell you that valvescan be the Achilles’ heel of anyequipment. That’s why you’ve got tochoose the best.Let’s consider four of the industry’sleading valve designs in relation to theirfunctions.Dual Plug Valves are primarily used todivert, restrict or completely shut offflow in oil cooler in power plantapplications. Pressure Relief Valves arequick-opening, quick-closing valves usedto protect equipment from gas pressurebuild-up or pressure surges.Check Valves have been developed toprevent backflow in steam, air, or waterlines. These are used extensively inextraction lines from steam turbines,feedwater heaters, heating systems,process equipment and lines from heatexchangers and auxiliaries.In the example pictured below, theThrottle Trip Valves made by Schutte &Koerting are dual-function valves designedto control the flow to steam turbinesThrottle Trip Valves provideeffective flow control and anemergency shut-off facility.during start-up and shut-down. Theseprovide emergency protection by closingautomatically and instantaneously when atrip condition is detected). Throttle TripValves provide effective flow control andemergency shut-off operation in a single,highly reliable valve assembly. As throttlevalves, they are used to regulate flow ofsteam and gas in large, high-pressure pipelines, such as the main steam line servinga large, high-pressure turbine or aturboexpander gas supply line.As trip valves, they add a measure ofsafety critical to these applications,without the expense of a separate tripvalve. When tripped either manually orautomatically, the valves rapidly shutdown flow to protect valuable equipment.S&K Throttle Trip Valves feature aninternal pilot valve arrangement torelieve pressure on the main disc as thevalve is opened.The seal-welded seat ring is shrink-fittedto the body and includes an expansiongroove, to prevent distortion of theseating face. Durable materials improveperformance and reduce wear.Flexitallic-type gaskets provide positivesealing at all cover joints, designed forsimple on-line adjustment of the yoke andlatching assembly.Optional ball bearing, threaded spindleand latching mechanisms are available toprovide mechanical assist for reliable lowfrictionoperation. Venturi seats can beprovided in high-pressure applications,reducing space requirements and allowinguse of smaller operators.Valves may be specified with weldedends or ANSI flange connections for directconnection to steam turbines.Three-Way Valves are primarily designedto handle high pressure applications suchas boiler feedwater service in steamDual function valvesare designed tocontrol the flowto steam turbinesduring start-up andshut-down.

SWITCHGEARSave size and money with your nextpower generation switchgearUtilising modern technologies can save space and money for your next project, reportsindustry professional, Steve Evans, the CEO and General Manager of DEIF's NorthAmerican operation, based in Fort Collins, Colorado. WIP has the story.Just as your cellphone has morphedfrom a bag to a brick to amicro-computer, modern advancedcontrollers have dramatically reduced insize and increased their functionality.Reducing the quantity of componentsand dramatically simplifying the wiringalso has the benefit of greatly reducedinstallation and start up times, a betterMean Time Between Failures, and - whenusing remote control devices - evenincreased safety compliance to NFPA 70EArc Flash.With all the controls at the generator,the switchgear can now be standard OEMstyle switchgear that can be ordered integralwith the rest of your distribution gearinstead of separate emergency powersystem switchgear. This will result in asmaller footprint and also substantial costsavings over traditional layouts with boththe distribution switchgear and separateemergency power system switchgear.Multiply these savings by 144 and you willsee why Sotreq, a Caterpillar dealer inStandard distribution switchgearfeatures simple components likecurrent transformers and potentialtransformers.South America, decided onthis approach for theinstallation of 144Caterpillar C32 gensets allrunning in parallel.Connected in 9 groups of16, the banks of 16 unitsare dispatched by a hostcomputer with all theparalleling, synchronising,protection and advancedpower managementfeatures like fueloptimisation, run time management &equalisation, peak shaving, import orexport control, zero power transfer, closebefore excitation, and load dependentgenerator start/stop being done by theDEIF AGC controller mounted at eachgenerator.Modern distributed power generationcontrollers are often distinguished by twobasic types: open-transition controllersand paralleling controllers. Commonfeatures available with both types ofmodern controllers includecommunications with both the engine andthe building management and/orautomation system, and basic electricalprotection (over and under volts, over andunder frequency, over current, overspeed, and engine protection like overtemperature, low oil pressure, etc.).Open transition controllers operate likethe basic automatic transfer switch: theymonitor the utility power and - in theevent of an outage - start the generatorand automatically operate the switches tobring the power back to critical loads.The two sources - utility and on-siteemergency power generators - neveroperate in parallel. There must be atleast a momentary loss of power, thus theIn the event of an outage - start the generator andautomatically operate the switches to bring thepower back to critical loads.term - open transition.Paralleling controllers carry out thefunctions of the open transitioncontrollers plus they add the ability toparallel multiple generators and/or one ormore generators with the utility powersystem.Parallel operation requires severaladditional and complex features includingexpanded protection (reverse and forwardpower, loss of excitation, loss of a phase,loss of utility detection, etc.), voltageand speed (Hz) matching, and real andreactive power (KW and KVAR) sharing.The best way to keep the operators safeis to get them away from the high powerswitching components. Operators withexperience in power generation arebecoming harder to find, resulting in mostend users having to rely heavily uponautomatic control systems.Most systems utilise the N+1 or 2Ntheories of system design, increasingredundancy and thus reliability with extrageneration capacity instead of expensivemanual systems no one is trained tooperate.Internet linkwww.deif.comWIP32MARCH 2010 • WORLDWIDE I NDEPENDENT P OWER

HRSGHeat recovery steam generators -core technology in actionHRSG is essentially an energy recovery heat exchanger which recovers heat from a hotgas stream - and now Foster Wheeler AG, a subsidiary of its Global Power Group, hasbeen tasked with designing, supplying and building one in Spain. WIP has the story.Aheat recovery steam generator is abit of a mouthful to say - but askanyone working at REPSOLPETROLEO S.A.and they will tell you it’san absolutely key piece of equipment. Infact, it’s central to the cogeneration plantbeing built at the REPSOL CartagenaRefinery in Murcia, Spain.A HRSG is essentially an energy recoveryheat exchanger which recovers heat froma hot gas stream. It produces steam thatcan be used in a process or used to drivea steam turbine.A common application for an HRSG is ina combined-cycle power station, wherehot exhaust from a gas turbine is fed toan HRSG to generate steam which in turndrives a steam turbine. This combinationproduces electricity more efficiently thaneither the gas turbine or steam turbinealone. Another application for an HRSG isin diesel engine combined cycle powerplants, where hot exhaust from a dieselengine is fed to an HRSG to generatesteam which in turn drives a steamturbine. The HRSG is also an importantThe Whitegate450MW combinedcycle plant in Cork,Ireland, features anHRSG from CMI HeatRecovery Systems.component in cogenerationplants. Cogeneration plantstypically have a higher overallefficiency in comparisonto a combined cycle plant.This is due to the loss ofenergy associated with thesteam turbineHRSGs consist of threemajor components. They arethe Evaporator, Superheater,and Economiser. Thedifferent components are puttogether to meet theoperating requirements ofthe unit.Foster Wheeler AG, asubsidiary of the GlobalPower Group, has beenawarded a contract to design,supply and build this kind ofHRSG for REPSOL. The HRSGand its auxiliary equipmentwill be fully integrated in theplant’s structure in about 20month’s time. Foster Wheelerwill also provide start-up supervisionservices.The HRSG will be coupled with a GeneralElectric PG-6581 gas turbine and recoverheat from the gas discharge stream,producing high pressure and mediumpressure steam for use in refineryprocesses and electricity generation atthe Cartagena facility.
