2.4.2 Utilities2.4.2.1 Electrical Power GenerationElectrical power generation for the <strong>Deep</strong> <strong>Panuke</strong> MOPU will be provided by multiple redundant fuelturbine generating sets. For the M&NP Option, the turbines will be tri-fuel (condensate, fuel gas, anddiesel). For the SOEP Subsea Option, the turbines will be dual-fuel (fuel gas and diesel). For the firstproduction start-up, sufficient quantity of diesel will be available for power generation.Emergency power will be provided by a diesel engine driven generator set as per CNSOPB regulations.The design requires the use of diesel fuel for emergency situations (emergency generator, firewaterpumps), for certain start up scenarios (i.e., when buy back gas is not available), and for certainmaintenance scenarios (i.e., power generators when no buy back gas is available).The transfer of diesel from ships to the MOPU storage tanks will occur via loading hose. Bulktransfer/hose-handling procedures will be outlined in the EPP.Battery back-up will be provided for critical emergency services.2.4.2.2 Platform FuelFor the M&NP Option, condensate will be used as fuel. Fuel gas may also be used as supplemental fuel,as required. For the SOEP Subsea Option, fuel gas will be the primary fuel source. Diesel will be usedas fuel for the crane and the emergency generator. Diesel will also be used for start-up and shutdown ofthe compressor and power generation turbines. The MOPU will have a storage capacity ofapproximately 70 m 3 for diesel. The area around the diesel storage will be “bunded” or “dyked” tocollect diesel fuel in the unlikely event of a leak/spill. The bunded area will be routed to the open drainssystem within which the hydrocarbon is recovered. There is no capability to flare diesel on the MOPU.All fuel will be metered.2.4.2.3 Heating Medium SystemThe processing facilities require heat input for a number of systems including amine regeneration, TEGregeneration, condensate stabilization, and produced water processing. The heating system is a “closedcircuit” system in which a heating medium (essentially the same solution as per the cooling mediumexcept it contains some stabilization additives) is pumped through waste heat recovery units (WHRUs).There are three WHRUs, one installed on each turbine exhaust of the compressors.
