Projects
Coal-Fired Projects
Pulverized Coal Units
Paiton Private Power Project
East Java, Indonesia
As part of an international consortium, Fluor provided engineering, environmental, procurement, construction and start-up services for the power block portion of this project. This 1,230MW power project is one of the world's largest independent power producers.
- EPCM and start-up for $2.5 billion power block work included:
- two 615MW steam turbine generators
- two 5 million lb/hr, 620 psig boilers
- Overall project planning and schedule control, start-up, commissioning, and training of operators. Coordinated contractors from the United States, Indonesia, Japan and Korea
- Logistical coordination of equipment transportation around the world
- Compliance with U.S. environmental requirements using a precipitator and seawater scrubber
Cope Generating Station
South Carolina, USA
Turnkey engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) services were performed on this 400MW generating station in South Carolina. Fluor's reference plant design was customized to meet the client's unique design preferences and capacity needs.
- Project completed more than 3 months ahead of schedule
- Interactive electronic information systems minimized field rework, which streamlined work processes
- Project data incorporated into computerized maintenance system for future O&M use
Fluidized Bed Units
AES Power Facility
Guayama, Puerto Rico
Fluor provided design, EPC and commissioning services for this $800 million, 454MW facility in Puerto Rico. The circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) combustion unit was installed under a lump sum contract and included installation of an electrostatic precipitator and a circulating dry scrubber to achieve extremely low emission levels.
- This plant provides 9 percent of the entire island's electrical generating capacity (15 percent at full production)
- The plant represents the first coal-fired power generating facility constructed on the island
- Fluor utilized “Zero Liquid Discharge Technology” to recycle wastewater, thereby conserving scarce freshwater resources.
Seward Repowering Project
Pennsylvania, USA
Fluor provided turnkey EPC, training and commissioning services for Reliant Energy's 521 MW coal-fired power plant. The project included the retirement of three existing pulverized coal-fired boilers and the installation of two new Clean Coal Technology CFB boilers.
- Major equipment installed included two Alstom CFB boilers along with an Alstom steam turbine generator
- Targeted criteria air pollutants, including SO2, NOX and PM/PM10, were decreased
- A major contribution was made to the large-scale environmental remediation effort
Gas-Fired Projects
Combined Cycle
Guadalupe Electric Generation Facility
Santa Clara, Texas, United States
The turnkey EPC, start-up and commissioning for this 1,000MW power plant was performed by Fluor on a fast-track basis northeast of San Antonio.
- The first 500MW unit completed only 16 months after field mobilization and the second unit was completed one month later
- One of the largest and cleanest natural gas-fired power plants in Texas
- Four GE frame 7FA combustion turbine generators were installed along with four Aalborg Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) and two GE steam turbines
Urquhart Repowering Project
Beech Island, South Carolina, United States
Fluor provided EPC and commissioning services for the repowering of Urquhart Station's Units 1 and 2. The Urquhart project is a dual fuel combined-cycle electric power plant with a nominal output of 450MW. The facility is owned by South Carolina Electric & Gas Company.
- The repowering included the retirement of two existing pulverized coal-fired boilers
- Two 150MW GE model PG7241 FA gas turbines and two Nooter Eriksen heat recovery steam generators were installed
- The project was constructed using a merit-shop approach on both a self-perform and subcontract basis
Cogeneration Facilities
Ingleside Cogeneration Facility
Ingleside Texas, United States
Fluor provided turnkey EPC and start-up services for this 440MW combined- cycle cogeneration facility.
- The project was completed three months ahead of the contract schedule
- 235MW of electricity and 1.1 million pounds per hour of steam are used to provide energy for the client's chlor-alkali production plant
- Two GE Frame 7FA combustion turbine generators, two Deltak HRSGs and a single ABB steam generator were installed on-site
Midland Cogeneration Facility
Midland, Michigan, United States
Fluor converted the unfinished Midland Nuclear Power Plant to a combined-cycle, natural-gas-fired cogeneration facility.
- This project was the first of its kind and represented the largest cogeneration project ever executed in the United States
- Operation of this facility is monitored by a state-of-the-art distributed control system
- 1,035MW produced by gas turbines with an additional 335MW provided by steam turbines
The state-of-the-art control system optimizes plant performance efficiency to meet the client's steam requirement and the electrical grid needs.
Plant Betterment Projects
Kentucky Utilities
Ghent, KY
Fluor provided EPC services for three units at the 2000 MW Ghent Power Station to substantially reduce NOX emissions using a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. The work was performed in the middle of an existing 30-year-old plant in full operation and required innovative techniques to overcome the unique challenges and potential hazards. Installation of this SCR system enabled Kentucky Utilities to meet Federal emissions requirements in the most cost-effective manner.
- All project major milestones met ahead of the planned schedule
- Earned Certificate of Recognition from Kentucky Labor Cabinet for attaining over 1 million work hours without a lost time incident. Actual work hours accomplished without a lost time incident exceeded 1.45 million.
- SCRs were completed well below the Alliance Target Cost.
