This
165MW LM6000 Combined Cycle Power is in excellent
operating condition for direct sale. The combined cycle plant
comprises of three LM6000PC aero derivative gas turbines, three Heat
Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) and a Steam turbine common to all the
HRSGs. The plant has
an excellent
and proven track record of maintaining availability in excess of 95% for the last 15 Years. Gas
turbines manufactured by GE, USA were packaged and commissioned by Stewart
and Stevenson, USA. Steam Turbine was supplied by BHEL, India and the
Babcock and Wilcox design HRSGs were supplied by Thermax, India.
The stated simple cycle
operation 2000. Combined cycle
operation started 2001.
The plant comprises of
state of the art LM6000PC Aero Derivative Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine, Dual
Pressure Heat Recovery Steam Generators, Electrical Generators and
associated auxiliary equipment.
Land
required for the project including power block, open switchyard, Fuel
storage tanks and Balance of Plant facilities is approximately 20 acres.
The area required on gas (excluding liquid fuel storage and treatment
facility) will be about 15 acres.
Daily
sweet water requirement for the Project is 4000
m3 /day with closed cooling water system, of which
de-mineralized water requirement
is about 500 m3 /day. De-mineralized water is required for
injection into gas turbine for control of NOX emission and as make up to
the boilers.
Daily
Naphtha requirement at full load - 650 MT
Once
switched over to gas, daily gas requirement for the project at full load
is about 0.85 MMSCMD.
The equipment is ready to operate. The
equipment is being appropriately preserved with periodic trials scheduled
for all rotary equipment including monthly FSNL (Full Speed No Load)
operation of gas turbines.
The
average fired hours clocked by the gas turbines/steam turbine since new is
only 35000 Hours. Gas turbines are maintained as per OEM (GE)
recommendation and with the help of OEM.
Gas
turbines are designed to use liquid fuel (Naphtha) as the fuel but the gas
turbines can be retrofitted to fire gas within a short span.
