May 2002

ESI was the EPC Contractor for this 7.5 MW natural gas-fired cogeneration facility. This facility included the installation of a new 7.5 MW Solar combustion turbine coupled to a new fully fired 170,000 pph heat recovery steam generator designed to produce 450 psig/600°F superheated steam. The project also included the controls upgrade of an existing 6 MW steam turbine that is now driven by the new HRSG. The entire powerhouse including the new equipment, the existing steam turbine, and a 200,000 pph natural gas and #6 fuel oil back-up boiler were upgraded to a new ABB/Bailey distributed control system. All new equipment was housed in a new engineered metal building.
