In 2005, Italian company ENEL built a Flue Gas Desulphurization plant in Puente Nuevo Power Plant inside a larger Project that included the life extension of the complete plant.
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.
