June Project Throwback This month, 13 years ago, Gemma achieved substantial completion on the Middletown Repowering Project! Located just around the corner from us in Middletown, CT, this project consisted of the addition of four GE LM6000-PC Sprint dual fuel gas turbines, exhaust systems with SCR and CO catalysts, and the associated balance of plant equipment. The gas turbines operate in simple cycle mode to provide short-term peaking power to the grid during periods of high demand. The aggregate generating capacity of the four units is a nominal 200 MW net. The plant also features an aqueous ammonia storage tank and 1,000,000-gallon fuel oil storage tank, with a common fuel oil and ammonia truck unloading facility. Gemma was responsible for the complete construction, start-up and commissioning of the new power plant, up to the low voltage side of the generator step-up (GSU) transformers. Notice to proceed was granted in May 2010 with substantial completion achieved on June 10, 2011. #tb #gemma #middletown #power #simplecycle
