Alstom has won an order for a 43mw natural gas-fired GTX100 industrial gas turbine, to be used in a co-generation application in connection to an existing boiler belonging to the Infraserv company at the Hochst industrial park near Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The customer is Infraserv GmbH & Co.-Hochst KG, a leading site operator and industrial service provider based in Frankfurt. In addition to the gas turbine itself, Alstom’s scope of supply covers erection and commissioning. Civil works and electrical installation will be taken care of by the customer. The plant is scheduled to be in operation by the end of this year. In the co-generation application, the exhaust gases from the gas turbine will be fed into the existing boiler with a capacity of around 300 tonnes per hour of high-pressure steam. The remaining oxygen in the gas turbine exhaust gases will be burned in the boiler combustion chamber, which will be modified accordingly.
