Madero Refinery Cogeneration (25 MW): Efficient engineering for energy and steam supply at PEMEX Tamaulipas
Mexico
The Madero Refinery Cogeneration plant, located at PEMEX’s Francisco I. Madero refinery in Tamaulipas, Mexico, is a 25 MW simple cycle facility designed for efficient energy and steam generation. This Madero Refinery Cogeneration plant features a heavy-duty gas turbine and a post-combustion heat recovery boiler, producing 49 t/h of steam at 42 kg/cm² and 385 ºC to supply the refinery’s gasoline and diesel desulfurization units. The project also includes an electrical and control substation, with IDOM providing both basic and detailed engineering, ensuring full integration with the refinery’s mechanical and electrical systems for optimal efficiency and reliability.
The plant is equipped with a Heavy-duty Gas Turbine, and a heat recovery boiler equipped with post-combustion capacity for the generation of 49 t/h of steam at a pressure of 42 kg/cm² and 385 ºC. The steam generated will be used, within the refinery, for the desulfurizers of the gasoline and diesel production process.
The project included not only the Cogeneration Plant, but also an electrical and control Substation.
On behalf of ACS-COBRA (Mexico), IDOM developed the basic and detailed engineering services of the plant and the substation, including the integration and interconnections with the mechanical systems (natural gas network, demineralized water, etc.) and electrical (medium and low voltage systems) of the refinery.
