LOTTE Chemical Pakistan Inaugurates Co-Generation Power Project
Lotte Chemical Pakistan’s Co-Generation Power Project was formally inaugurated on 27 August 2012 by the Honorable Chief Executive of KP Chemical, Mr. Changyyo Kim, along with the CEO of Lotte Chemical Pakistan, Mr. Asif Saad, in the presence of Lotte Chemical Pakistan Board Members, Senior Management and Employees. Also present at the occasion were senior members and representatives of key partners in this project namely, General Electric, AG Equipment, Descon Engineering, and several others.
The Lotte Co-Generation Project is the single largest project in the history of PPTA since the base plant construction and commissioning in 1998. This project is aimed to provide reliable and consistent power supply to the plant, consequently improving the plant equipment availability. The Co-Generation plant produces power using the world renowned Aero derivative type LM6000 PD gas turbine, manufactured and packaged by General Electric USA and is capable of producing 48 MW at ISO standards.
The gas turbine package is integrated with a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) manufactured by a leading HRSG manufacturing company from Korea, Daekyung Machinery and Engineering Company. The HRSG recovers waste heat energy of the Gas turbine Exhaust to generate in excess of 52tons/ hr process quality steam. Two Fuel Gas Booster compressors from Ariel USA, provide the fuel gas at requisite delivery conditions to the Gas turbine. The balance of plant include a state-of-the-art central control room, DCS, Scada, underground cable trenches, compressor hall, distribution transformers, switch gear, fire-fighting and detection systems and many other features.
The plant design was executed by Istro Energo Group (IEG), Slovakia – a renowned name in power plant design, utilizing the latest advanced features used in power plants today. The construction of the plant was done by Descon Engineering along with the major equipment technical representatives under the direct supervision of Lotte Chemical Pakistan’s project team.
The project was indigenously managed in terms of Design Integration, Planning, Procurement, Contracts, Commissioning & Operations by Lotte Chemical Pakistan’s Project team, who worked tirelessly to deliver the project in a most efficient manner, with better than planned cost, quality, and exceptional safety statistics whilst remaining within the budget.
The commercial operation commenced on 17 July, 2012 following which it has been in successful operation.
The efficacious delivery of this key project is testament to the Lotte Chemical Pakistan team’s ability to successfully meet challenging targets.
