 Following the Chihuahua Combined Cycle Power Plant for B.L.T. (Build, Lease and Transfer) and Tuxpan Combined Cycle Power Plant for an IPP, this power plant was delivered on schedule and achieved better performance than the guaranteed value among the application of “F Generation” Gas Turbines. The addition of this highly successful full turnkey plant project, featuring the technologically complex F Generation Gas Turbine, is truly a new milestone demonstrating the high potential for future activities in this country. The plant is located near the Mexican gulf in Altamira City. Its designed capacity is for 495 MW. The facility comprises of two M501F gas turbine generators installed outdoors, which are able to burn dual fuels of natural gas and diesel oil with DLN (Dry Low NOx) combustors. The triple-pressure heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) are of the reheat type designed for natural circulation. The plant has a 2-on-1 configuration with two gas turbines connected to their respective HRSGs, and with the steam from both HRSGs supplying a steam turbine. MHI hopes that this successful plant will greatly contribute to the steady growth of Mexico’s economy, and help MHI expand its market share in the country. |
