A subsidiary of Foster Wheeler's Global Power Group has been awarded a contract to design, supply and erect a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) by Spanish company Repsol Petroleo. The HRSG and auxiliary equipment will be integrated in a cogeneration plant being built at the Repsol Cartagena Refinery in Murcia, Spain. Foster Wheeler will also provide start-up supervision services. Commercial operation is scheduled for the first quarter of 2012.The HRSG will be coupled with a General Electric PG-6581 gas turbine and will recover heat from the gas discharge stream, producing high-pressure and medium-pressure steam for use in refinery processes and electricity generation at the Cartagena facility. The unit will be equipped with a bypass stack and diverter, as well as a post-firing and fresh-air capability, for continuous operation even after a combustion turbine trip.
