We have been building power plants for over 20 years,
and our expertise encompasses all of the complex aspects of the technology
involved. A typical "Scope of Work" for one of our clients could
include some of the following items:
- Project Management - Review of designs, field quality
control, adherence to schedules, compliance tests, commissioning, initial
on-line operation.
- Optimization of Performance - feed water heating, heat
rejection, turbine efficiency, fuel drying, pump efficiency, damper
control, etc.
- Optimization for Reliability of Plant System - redundant
pumps, dual fuel feed, electrical system fault tolerance, control system
recovery, by-pass dampers, spare parts.
- Combustion Permits - NOX, CO, particulates
- Environmental Requirements - site, soil, leaching,
air, water, noise
- Environmental Solutions and Permits - scrubbers, enclosures,
leachate control.
- Preparation of Drawings - architectural, civil, mechanical,
electrical, structural, instrumentation.
- Specifications - For all equipment, systems, devices
and installation requirements.
- Tendering Documents - Combining the specifications,
drawings and commercial requirements in a document suitable for contractors
to provide a firm bid.
- Selection of Contractor - Bid review and recommendation
- Professional witness - for performance tests and other
financial or contractual obligations.
- Site evaluation
- Conceptual design
- Assessment of economic viability
- Option optimization studies
- Assessment of environmental feasibility
- Feasibility reports
- Assistance in contract negotiations
- Detailed engineering design including, but not limited
to:
- Water Availability - For steam
generation and equipment cooling.
- Fuel Availability - Price, quality
and security of supply.
- Power Connection - Distance to
grid, voltage level, tie-line capacity.
- Soil Conditions - Leveling, piling,

security, storage, handling, & transportation costs.
- Energy Requirements - Heating,
cooling, electricity, duty schedules, load duration curves.
- Basic Cycle - Steam turbine, gas
turbine, engine-generator set, combined cycle, back pressure extraction,
condensing.
- Size Selection - Legal, permits,
financial constraints, unit availability.
- Arrangement - Site configuration,
access to roads and services, wind direction, degree of enclosure required.
- Parameter Optimization - Pressure,
temperature, flows, velocities, voltage.
- Flow Diagram - A flow diagram
showing all major mechanical equipment and flows.
- Single-line Diagram - A schematic
diagram showing major electrical equipment including the tie-line with
the utility.
- Combustion Type - Emission controls,
efficiency, capacity.
- Heat Rejection - Water, drains,
effect on cycle efficiency vs capital cost.
- Equipment List - List of all major
equipment, suppliers, reference numbers, unit cost, estimate on balance
of plant.
- Capital Cost Estimate - fuel,
operating staff, maintenance, waste disposal supplies, wheeling of power.
