Entropie wins sea water desal contract in Algeria
MARKET PROSPECTS station G in the Jebel Ali Power Complex in Dubai. The operation will include the supply and installation of high purity water treatment plants, tanks and electrical works. Government, developers and the business sector will benefit from the development of the turnkey supply and installation of the mixed bed demineralization plant that will process 2 x 90 m3/hr of high purity water.
DESALINATION
Australian desal plant gets the go-ahead
power plant in the Netherlands. The new hard coal-fired units will provide clean, reliable electricity for more than 3 million homes and cut CO2 emissions by about 2.5 million tons per year compared with the older systems. The new units are designed to co-fire up to 10% biomass, and can be retrofitted with equipment used to capture CO2 after combustion. • Alstom has merged its power generation activities into a single sector, Alstom Power, bringing together Power Systems (plants, equipments and retrofit ) and Power Service (aftersales, from service to renovation and spare parts).

ustralia’s Environment Minister Peter Garrett has given conditional approval to the Victorian Government’s proposed desalination plant near Wonthaggi. The desalination will supply up to 150 billion litres of water a year to Melbourne and the surrounding region. The Australian government is implementing a A$1 billion National Urban Water and Desalination Plan to help secure the water supplies of Australia’s major cities.

eolia Water’s Entropie is to supply three desalination units with a net capacity of 3 600 m3/d of distilled water each to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for the Algeria Oman fertilizer plant. The units are based on the Multiple Effect Distillation technology with two evaporation cells under the thermo compressor.
Sumitomo selects Black & Veatch for Indonesia power plant expansion
B
lack & Veatch is to work on Sumitomo Corp’s expansion of the Tanjung Jati B power station in Central Java, Indonesia. Black & Veatch will provide engineering, procurement and commissioning services for the plant’s boiler island and balance of plant, including equipment for coal handling and unloading, air quality control systems and limestone unloading and handling. Sumitomo is developing the project for PT PLN (Persero), Indonesia’s state-owned power utility. The expansion will add two new 660 MW units to the coal-fired power station, doubling its overall generating capacity to approximately 2640 MW. Black & Veatch was also involved in designing the first two units of the power facility that began commercial operation in 2006.

E Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) has signed separate project development agreements with the
Nuclear Power Corp of India (NPCIL) and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) as the companies prepare to collaborate on building multiple GEHdesigned nuclear reactors to help meet India’s energy production goals. Mumbai-based nuclear utility NPCIL operates 17 reactors, while New Delhi-based BHEL manufactures and supplies power generation equipment and components. Under the preliminary agreements, GEH will begin planning with NPCIL and BHEL for the necessary resources in manufacturing and construction management for a potential multiple-unit 1350 MW Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) nuclear power station. The new agreements lay the foundation for cooperation between GEH and the two Indian companies as additional steps are taken by the Indian and US governments to implement the agreement on civilian nuclear cooperation they signed last year.
PULP & PAPER
Metso supplies chemical recovery line to Sweden’s Korsnäs
M
etso Corp will supply a new evaporation plant and two recovery boiler upgrades to Korsnäs AB’s pulp mill in Gävle, Sweden in a 20 million order. The evaporation plant has the capacity to evaporate 750 tonnes of water per hour and it concentrates black liquor from pulp cooking for the recovery boiler combustion up to the dry solid content of 75%. The new evaporation plant is part of the mill’s modernization project and will replace three existing evaporation units. The new plant will significantly increase the mill’s overall energy efficiency in addition to improving availability and environmental performance. Start-up for the evaporation plant is scheduled for the second quarter of 2010. The mill’s two existing recovery boilers will also be upgraded for higher dry solids content from the new evaporation plant. Metso’s multi-level air system will be installed in both boilers to improve the combustion efficiency, environmental performance and availability of the recovery boilers. Start-up of the first recovery boiler is scheduled for the second quarter of 2009 and the second recovery boiler for the fourth quarter of 2010.
