Arcante Blois Incineration Plant processes over 85,000 tons of municipal solid waste annually. The plant processes waste and uses the combustion heat to convert to saturated steam. The steam supply (44 bar) is used for generating electricity, while the process steam (6.4 bar) is used for district heating.
The challenge
The main issues that Arcante Blois was experiencing were poor boiler pressure steam regulation, and difficulty in regulating process steam. This was particularly during peak demand in winter.
The solution
With the assistance of NCG, HEINZMANN Australia was able to provide Arcante Blois with a comprehensive steam turbine and power management control upgrade.
This resulted in optimum boiler steam pressure control at 44 bar, improved control of process steam for district heating at 6.4 bar, and the added feature of grid export kW control and export PF control. This also resulted zero turbine trips during grid export CB trip to Island mode operation. The ROI for Arcante Blois was about 5 months.
