The public bid for the expansion of the Miraflores Power Plant has been concluded by awarding the contract to Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. for two engines of the MAN B&W 12K80MC-S design. The existing plant has a total installed capacity of 151 MW based on power generated by three gas turbines, two steam turbines and three medium speed diesel engines.
The new engines in the plant are equipped with Turbo Compound System (TCS). They will each develop 41.47 MW (m) at an efficiency rate of 49.2% (m) at 100% MCR at site ambient conditions.
Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. will supply the engines to ACP as part of a turnkey solution.
The MAN B&W 12K80MC-S engines will run on HFO with a sulphur content of 3%. As to the NOx emission level, the design of the engines ensures compliance with the World Bank’s 1998 regulation, stating 2,000 mg/Nm3. Secondary measures for compliance with the NOx emission regulations are not necessary. Particulate emission level is achieved by application of an Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) in order to comply with the limit of 50 mg/Nm3.
