Foster Wheeler Ltd has announced that Foster Wheeler Energia S.A., a Spanish subsidiary of its Global Power Group, has been awarded a contract for a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) through Sener Ingenieria y Sistemas S.A. for Petronor. The boiler will be integrated in a cogeneration plant that Repsol-YPF/ Petronor is constructing at the Petronor Refineria de Somorrostro in Bilbao, Spain. Repsol-YPF owns 85% of the Petronor Refinery. Foster Wheeler will design, supply and erect the HRSG, and will also provide start-up supervision for the HRSG, which will be coupled to a General Electric PG-6581 combustion turbine, with a total installed capacity of 42Mwe. The HRSG will produce medium- and low-pressure steam for the refinery process. Commercial operation of the HRSG is scheduled for the second quarter of 2009.
