POWER FROM RESIDUES THE SNAMPROGETTI EXPERIENCE ON IGCC

摘要

The three Italian IGCCs (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) from refinery residues (ISAB, SARLUX, API) are in commercial operation, having passed most of the contractual test-runs. This paper will give an update of the commercial status of ISAB Energy (approx. 510 MWe) and Sarlux (approx. 550 MWe), i.e. the two Italian IGCCs built by Snamprogetti in consortium respectively with Foster Wheeler Italiana and with Nuovo Pignone/General Electric. ISAB Energy has been the first Italian IGCC to go in commercial operation and has been taken over by the Owner on April 2000, while for Sarlux this happened on January 2001.
