1. RIJNMOND ENERGY CENTER
This project was the first independent power project in the Netherlands. In 2002, ENKA and
Bechtel Joint Venture was awarded the lump sum turnkey (LSTK) EPC contract to build the
Rijnmond Energy Center Project, a combined-cycle cogeneration power plant.
The Rijnmond Energy Center was a natural gas fueled facility with a nominal 790 MW net
output. It consisted of two combustion turbine generators (CTGs), two fired heat-recovery
steam generators (HRSGs), and one lateral exhaust steam turbine generator (STG) in a 2x2x1
configuration. Plant cooling was provided by a mechanical draft, plume-abated cooling tower,
with makeup water from the nearby Petroleum Haven, following processing through an acti-floc
clarifier.
The plant was designed to deliver 125 tons/hour of steam to the nearby Shell refinery and was
designed to a capacity of exporting up to 350 tons/hour.
The CTGs were delivered by Siemens (Germany), the heat recovery steam generators by SFL (the
Netherlands), the STG was by Alstom Power (Germany), the DCS control systems were by ABB-
Bailey (USA), the water treatment plant was by US Filter (USA), the main and auxiliary
transformers by Areva (Turkey), the switchyard by Siemens (Turkey) and the cooling towers by
Balcke-Dür (Germany).
Construction of the Rijnmond Energy Center commenced in August, 2002. Substantial
completion was achieved within 22 months in June, 2004, five months ahead of schedule.
