Puente Nuevo Thermal Power Flue Gas Desulphurization Plant – 323 MW
Spain
The desulfurization project at Puente Nuevo thermal power plant, located in Espiel (Córdoba) and developed by ENEL in 2005, involved installing a wet flue gas desulfurization system to extend the life of this 323 MW coal-fired facility. The desulfurization at Puente Nuevo thermal power plant included a new limestone grinding building, an auxiliary building with slurry pumps and gypsum extraction equipment, and a storage building for gypsum and limestone. IDOM provided detailed engineering, permit management, and on-site construction supervision, ensuring an efficient and sustainable process.
The new installations are composed of :
- Limestone Mills Building. Necessary to obtain the appropriate granulometry for the process
- Desox Process Auxiliary Building. Including five pumps for the slurry movement and all the equipment necessary for the gypsum extraction.
- Storage Building. Including all the conveyor belts for the gypsum/limestone transport.
Additionally, many actuations were developed to extend the life of the essential equipments of the plant: boiler and steam turbine revamping process, new electrostatic Precipitator, generator, etc.
In this project IDOM performed detail engineering activities together with permitting and construction management.
