Bayou Cogeneration Plant- A Case Study
Abstract
The Bayou Cogeneration Plant is a prime example of
the high fuel efficiency and consequent energy savings
an industrial company can realize from cogeneration. A
joint venture of Big Three Industries, Inc., and General
Electric Company, this $100 million power plant became
operational late last year and produces approximately
1.4 million lb/hr of process steam and 300 MW of electricity.
As the turnkey supplier, General Electric was
responsible for the entire project from cycle engineering
through start up and is currently operating and maintaining
the plant.
This paper describes the factors which led Big Three
Industries to build a cogeneration power plant and the
route selected for project implementation. Also included
is a brief profile of project implementation, highlighting
the responsibilities of the turnkey supplier and specific
steps taken to compress the project into a 20-month
schedule, resulting in significant cost savings and enabling
Big Three to realize cogeneration benefits as early
as possible.
