REFERENCE NUMBER: T-6985 COGENERATION PLANT 1.2 MEGAWATTS NEAR NEW COGENERATION SYSTEM WITH MODULAR DESIGN THAT HAS NEVER BEEN RUN IN PRODUCTION: THIS SYSTEM IS A 1.2-MEGAWATT POWER PLANT AND CAN BURN BARK, SAWDUST, AGRICULTURAL WASTES SUCH AS PEANUT SHELLS, RICE HULLS, STRAW, ANIMAL RESIDUE, WET WOOD, ETC. THIS SYSTEM WILL CONVERT SUCH WASTE PRODUCTS INTO USEABLE THERMAL AND ELECTRICAL ENERGY. THIS SOLID WASTE STREAM CAN BE CONVERTED INTO PARTICLE FORM BY THE USE OF A COMMERCIAL SHREDDER, CONVEYED TO A SILO FOR STORAGE, AND THEN FED AUTOMATICALLY INTO THE MULTI-ZONE BURNER. STEAM IS GENERATED THROUGH A LOW PRESSURE 275 DEGREE (DE-RATED FROM 300 DEGREE) STAINLESS STEEL BOILER WITH A HEAT EXCHANGER. INLET STEAM IS 475 PSIG AT 700 DEGREES FTT WITH A MAXIMUM OF 22,000 LBS/HOUR BUT COULD BE INCREASED TO 24,000 LBS/HOUR. EXHAUST STEAM PRESSURE IS 3" HGA AT 5449 RPM BUT DESIGNED TO RUN AT 4" ABSOLUTE VACUUM. STEAM IS TRANSFERRED TO THE 3-STAGE BACK PRESSURE TURBINE RATED AT 1654HP DETUNED TO 1200HP TO MATCH THE GENERATOR. THIS SYSTEM COMES COMPLETE WITH GENERATOR CONTROL CENTER, BOILER CONTROL CENTER, COMBUSTION CONTROL CENTER, CONTROL ROOM SWITCHBOARD, TURBINE OIL SYSTEM, DUST DELIVERY CONTROL SYSTEM, SWITCHGEAR AND PLC CONTROLS. THIS PLANT WAS NEW IN 2005/2006 WHEN INSTALLED AND HAS NEVER BEEN RUN EXCEPT FOR PERMITTING FUNCTION. THE TURBINE GEARBOX AND GENERATOR WERE OEM REBUILT. THE COMPANY PURCHASED THIS SYSTEM WITH A GUARANTEE THE BURNER COULD MEET NOX STANDARDS. AFTER INSTALLATION, THE BURNER COULD NOT EFFICIENTLY BURN FIBER WITH HIGH FORMALDEHYDE CONTENT. CONSEQUENTLY, THE BURNER COULD NOT MEET THOSE NOX STANDARDS THAT ARE ONE OF THE MOST STRINGENT SET OF STANDARDS IN NORTH AMERICA. THESE MULTI-STAGE BURNERS ARE USED THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA AND MEET OR EXCEED NOX CONTROL STANDARDS IN OTHER AREAS WITHOUT PROBLEMS. THIS COGEN SYSTEM CAN BE PROFESSIONALLY DISMANTLED, ALL EQUIPMENT TAGGED FOR REINSTALLATION AND SHIPPED TO YOUR FACILITY, REASSEMBLED, AND CONNECTED TO YOUR PRESENT ELECTRICAL GRID SYSTEM. IT WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 10 WEEKS TO DISMANTLE THE PLANT AND 15 TRUCKS TO SHIP THE EQUIPMENT TO YOUR PLANT SITE, AND APPROXIMATELY 16 WEEKS TO REASSEMBLE. THIS PLANT WOULD INCLUDE EVERYTHING NEEDED EXCEPT FUEL PROCESSING (GRINDING), STORAGE AND A TRANSFORMER TO SUPPLY POWER TO YOUR FACILITY.
