19.05.2003 - In September 1999, MAN Turbo secured an order to supply three fuel gas compressor plants for a new combined cycle power plant in Dayville, Connecticut, USA. The order was placed by a Swiss firm. MAN Turbo has already built and commissioned fuel gas compressors for the company for projects all over the world. The operator of the turnkey power plant is an american energy generating company.
Owing to the satisfactory experience gained in construction of the Lake Road plant, the customer placed a follow-up order in April 2000 for four further installations for use in the La Paloma power station. The newly erected combined cycle plant is in McKittrick, California. Four trains, each comprising a gas turbine and a steam turbine, achieve a total output of 1,121 MW. La Paloma generates power for households and industrial companies in the region. The gas turbines are supplied with environmentally friendly natural gas, which the fuel gas compressors from MAN Turbo compress to the required pressure.

In addition to the fuel gas compressor packages, MAN Turbo supplied all the plant and control engineering and was also responsible for commissioning. The compact construction permitted low-cost outdoor erection of the units, with weatherproof acoustic insulation hoods also supplied by MAN Turbo being used.

Reliable technology and an attractive price-performance ratio are just two of the criteria that underline the quality of MAN Turbo fuel gas plants. Above all, the flexibility of the plant with regard to its capacity for adjustment at partial load and the power saving potential at high inlet pressures were important criteria in the decision to use MAN Turbo fuel gas compressors.
