Bochum, October 04, 2010 - GEA Mechanical Equipment has received 2 major
orders for the delivery of fuel systems for a gas turbine power plant in
Morocco and of decanters for the municipal waste water clarification plant
of the mega-zone Hong Kong.
For the expansion of the gas turbine power plant 'Kenitra' to the north of
the Moroccan capital Rabat GEA won the order for the delivery of a complete
fuel and process water treatment system. The order volume totals around EUR
7 million and the shipment is scheduled for May 2011. The power plant is
designed as a backup installation for an existing hydroelectric power plant
and to ensure the power supply in the region in months when precipitation
is low. After a construction period of 25 months, the 300 megawatt gas
turbine power plant will go on stream in 2012. Due to the properties of the
fuels, the complete treatment system will be delivered in explosion-proof
design. This contract is a follow-up project for the 'Mohammedia' plant
successfully delivered in 2008 which was likewise designed for the end
customer 'ONE' (Office National de l'Electricité), the state-run utility
company. The contractor of GEA is GE France.
The plant manufacturer ATAL Engineering ordered 14 decanter centrifuges for
Hong Kong's large-scale waste water clarification plant Stonecutters
Island. The first machines will be delivered at the beginning of 2012.
GEA's decanters will take over the full capacity of the waste water
treatment plant from 2015 onwards. The decisive factor for the award of the
contract was the successful commissioning of the mega waste water treatment
plant Changi in Singapore, in the course of which GEA had installed 30
large decanters by 2007. GEA was also able to present extensive references
from municipal waste water treatment plants like Fremont/Nebraska,
Dublin/Ireland and Stuttgart/Germany. The 14 large decanters with their
deep pond design ensure high throughput capacities with low power and
polymer consumption. They are therefore capable of easily handling the
sewage sludge dewatering of the planned expansion of the waste water
treatment plant capacity from 1.3 to 1.7 million cubic meters per day as
well as the upgrade to an additional biological clarification stage. By
this means, the effluent of more than 3.5 million inhabitants can be
disposed of.
