Alstom to supply boiler, turbine hall for coal-fired power plant in Poland
MARKET PROSPECTS The White Paper also anticipates enabling business and public sector customers to negotiate better services from suppliers and cut their costs. And water companies will be able to introduce new social tariffs for people who are struggling to pay their water bills. The proposed changes are all designed to lead to a more robust and prepared water industry in the UK, which promotes innovation and growth in the economy while protecting the environment.

ri-Tech Infrastructure LLC is to provide a seawater desalination unit for Qatar Petrochemical Co Ltd’s (QAPCO) utility plant at Mesaieed Industrial City in Doha, Qatar. Under the US$8.3 million contract, TriTech will provide a 5760 cubic metres per day Multiple Effect Thermocompression (MED-TC) desalination unit. Tri-Tech’s work covers design, engineering, fabrication, commissioning, performance testing and onsite training for QAPCO’s technical personnel. Tri-Tech expects to deliver the desalination unit by November 2012. This is Tri-Tech’s first thermal seawater desalination contract in the Middle East region.
OneSteel commissions desal plant in Australia
A
ustralian steel producer OneSteel has commissioned an Osmoflo seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant at its Whyalla manufacturing facility. The Osmoflo plant will produce more than four million litres of desalinated water per day. This will replace water currently drawn from the River Murray through the Morgan–Whyalla pipeline. Fresh water produced will be used in industrial processes. Osmoflo financed, designed and built the desalination plant and will operate it on behalf of OneSteel for 10 years.
December 2011
Built in two trains, each featuring pretreatment by micro-filtration membranes followed by reverse osmosis modules to remove salts, the plant incorporates advanced energy saving technology along with remote monitoring and control capability. Reject water or brine from the desalination process is transferred to OneSteel’s saltwater management system where the brine is substantially diluted prior to discharge to the Spencer Gulf.

Alstom to supply boiler, turbine hall for coal-fired power plant in Poland lstom has been awarded a E900 million contract by Elektrownia Rybnik SA (ERSA) to supply the core power generation equipment for a new 900 MW coal-fired power plant to be built at the Rybnik site in Poland. Alstom’s scope includes the supply of the boiler and its coal milling system and the complete turbine hall including steam turbine, generator and the balance-of-plant auxiliaries. Commercial operation is scheduled in 2017. The contract will be executed in two phases. The first E100 million phase covers preengineering and support to ERSA during the permitting process. The second E800 million phase will be effective after the full notice to proceed which is expected in mid 2013. ERSA is one of the main Polish subsidiaries of the French electric utility EDF. Alstom will be responsible for the design, engineering, supply, erection, commissioning and testing of the delivered equipment. EDF will

Metito provides demineralised water for Kuwaiti power plant etito is working on a largescale project to provide demineralised water services to the Al Zour power plant in Kuwait. The project, commissioned by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Water & Electricity, will involve converting an existing 400 MW gas turbine power plant to a combined cycle power plant. The demineralised water plant will meet the additional demand for high purity water for boiler feed required for steam generation. The project is due for completion in May 2012. Metito will install a conventional demineralisation plant including a degassed water tank, strong base anion exchanger, chemical injection pumps, air blower systems and a regeneration system using bulk chemicals.
