Jacir Expertise Delivers Efficient Turnkey Solution for PowerGen Cooling Plant
May 17, 2012
When MAN Diesel needed the perfect cooling plant solution for 10 diesel engines pumping out 128MW of duty at their site in Moa Cuba, Jacir won the contract through their combination of cutting-edge technological know-how, very reliable materials, easy maintenance and the experience of many worldwide applications in varying and challenging conditions.
The customers’ genuine concern was power optimisation and they were confident that the vast proven experience Jacir has in this field together with the superior efficiency demonstrated by the use of cooling towers would prove to be the perfect answer.
Operating costs are also fundamental to the competitiveness of a power plant so this was crucial to keep them as low as possible. The fact that the end user wanted to save the most water possible was a deciding factor in choosing stainless steel as it offered the possibility of reaching higher concentration rates of water (in circulation on the secondary loop) through a lower blow-down (30-35% saving compared to galvanized-steel).
The project was managed on the client side by the MAN Engineering Division in Canada and Jacir has designed the cooling plant including 3D drawings. The complete project comprises; the cooling of 10 diesel engines and each is cooled through a Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) for each engine, the total duty was 128MW, 10 x 329 m3/h and 73°C in and 40°C out with a Wet Bulb temperature of 28°C on 2 large concrete basins.
A complete turnkey cooling plant has been delivered including 10 twin VAP towers with the skids and complete with pumps, filters, pipework and water treatment; all the metallic parts in contact with the water (PHE plates, piping, filter, some supports etc.) were offered in AISI 316, due to the corrosive water – 21 containers in total.
If you have a project – large or small – we welcome the opportunity to present our know-how to you for providing single cooling towers or complete turnkey cooling plants anywhere worldwide.
