BCS of fuel gas for the standby power plant at Novopolotsk CHPP successfully underwent factory tests

25 June 2022

At the Novopolotsk CHPP, the 100 MW gas turbine power plant based on two Siemens SGT-800 turbines is being created. It is one of four peak-standby energy source (PSES) under construction today for the unified power grid of the Republic of Belarus.

Under a contract with Siemens Energy, the Russian Company ENERGAS is equipping the Novopolotsk PSES with gas treatment and fuel supply equipment – a gas receiving station, a booster compressor station (BCS) and an end system of filtration. This equipment will ensure the design parameters of the fuel for power generating units.

The gas receiving station is intended to preliminary purification and commercial metering of gas, the planned flow volume is 29,210 m3 / h. The filtration system of 4 high-efficiency separators will provide fine purification of fuel at the inlet to the SGT-800 shut-off valve block.

Compressor station, consisting of two booster units, will boost gas pressure from 1 to 3 MPa before it is fed to the turbines. The volume capacity of each block-modular machine is 21,960 kg / h.

At present, BCS underwent factory tests before shipment. The operability of process, compressor, measuring and analytical, and electrical equipment has been checked. The local ACS, oil system, valves actuation, integrity of cable lines, and pressure-tightness of assemblies and joints of both gas booster units were tested.



Preparation is underway for station transportation to the Novopolotsk CHPP operation site. The machines are supplied with a high degree of prefabrication and a maximum integration of the components on a single frame what subsequently significantly reduces the duration of the mounting works and pre-start activities.

REFERENCE:

Among the priorities of the ENERGAS Group are production, comprehensive commissioning and maintenance of gas treatment and compression units for generating facilities in the electric power industry, oil and gas complex and industrial enterprises. Today, the ENERGAS process equipment provides high-quality fuel for 220 gas turbines and gas-reciprocating units with a total capacity of over 6.7 GW.
