HEILBRON: LOTUS CONTROL WILL SUPPLY FILTERS FOR THE HEILBRON PLANT

The future construction of a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant in the town of Heilbronn represents a significant step towards modernization and efficiency in power generation in the region. With a projected electrical power of approximately 680 megawatts (MW) and a thermal power of up to 190 MW for heat extraction, this new facility will play a key role in the local energy infrastructure. One of the highlights of this CCGT station is its ability to provide not only electricity, but also heat for district heating in Heilbronn in the long term. This integrated approach takes advantage of the efficiency of the combined cycle, which uses both electricity generation and waste heat production, thus maximizing resource utilization and reducing the environmental footprint.

Furthermore, the implementation of the CCGT plant may have positive implications for sustainability and the energy transition, as the closure of coal unit 7 and reserve units 5 and 6 of the existing power plant is contemplated. This shift can not only contribute to emissions reductions and energy efficiency, but also signals a commitment to cleaner and more advanced energy sources.

ALTBACH- LOTUS CONTROL has been selected by SENER BONATTI, GERMANY

ALTBACH- LOTUS CONTROL has been selected by SENER BONATTI to supply the FILTER package for ALTBACH power plant - GERMANY

The planned construction of a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant in Altbach/Deizisau marks a crucial step towards modernization and efficiency in power generation in this region. The facility is designed to have an estimated electrical output of around 680 megawatts (MW) and a thermal output of up to 180 MW for heat extraction. This project promises to be a key component in the development of the local energy infrastructure. Some relevant aspects of the project are detailed here: The choice of a power plant with CCGT technology reflects a focus on energy efficiency. The combined cycle allows both electricity generation and waste heat production to be harnessed, maximizing efficiency in the use of energy resources. The new plant will add diversity to the local energy matrix, offering a more flexible and efficient source of generation. This can contribute to the stability of the electricity supply and reduce dependence on more traditional energy sources. The plant's capacity to extract up to 180 MW of thermal heat means that this energy can be used in applications such as district heating or local industrial processes, providing additional benefits to the community and industry. By incorporating advanced technologies such as the combined cycle gas turbine, the project has the potential to contribute to the reduction of pollutant emissions compared to older or conventional technologies.

DAKHLA -LOTUS CONTROL has been selected by FISIA ITALIMPIANTI to supply the Check Valves for the water desalination plant in Dakhla Morocco

DAKHLA -LOTUS CONTROL has been selected by FISIA ITALIMPIANTI to supply the Check Valves for the water desalination plant in Dakhla Morocco, a project that is designed to mark a milestone in water supply in a region that has historically faced challenges related to the scarcity of water resources. With an impressive production capacity, estimated at between 90,000 and 100,000 cubic meters of water per day, this plant will play an essential role in driving sustainable development. One of the distinctive features of this project is its ability to catalyze agricultural growth in previously arid areas. The desalination plant is expected to provide water for the irrigation of 5,000 hectares of land, transforming these previously unproductive tracts into fertile land suitable for agriculture. This aspect of the project not only has an immediate impact on local food security, but also opens up new economic opportunities for the community. Environmental sustainability is also at the heart of this initiative, as the desalination plant will be powered by energy from a 40 megawatt (MW) wind farm. The initial delivery of the turbines for this wind farm marks a significant step towards energy independence and reduction of the carbon footprint associated with desalination.

AIR LIQUIDE – Lotus Control will supply the Manual valves package for the The Dow Industriegasse plant in Stade, Germany

This advanced technology underscores Dow's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and transitioning towards cleaner energy sources. The dual-burning system allows for flexibility in fuel usage, with the capability to utilize both natural gas and hydrogen. Hydrogen, being a clean and renewable energy source, contributes to the decarbonization efforts of the plant, aligning with the global shift towards more sustainable industrial processes. The incorporation of a decarbonization Fired Heater reflects the plant's dedication to improving energy efficiency and minimizing its environmental footprint. This technology not only enhances operational efficiency but also positions Dow Industriegasse as a leader in adopting innovative solutions for a more sustainable future. The utilization of natural gas and hydrogen in the dual-burning system not only supports the plant's operational needs but also signifies a step towards greener energy practices in the industrial sector. Dow Industriegasse's commitment to embracing cleaner energy technologies sets a commendable example for the industry as it navigates towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.

KELVIN - LOTUS CONTROL will supply the Filters, Silencers and Manual Valve package for ACCIONA INDUSTRIAL at the Kelvin Project located in the United Kingdom.

The facility will consist of a single-stream, "CHP-ready" Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) with a nominal capacity to process up to 370,000 tons of waste per year. It will integrate a complete combustion system, heat recovery and flue gas treatment plant, supplying steam to a steam turbine generator. The site is located within the existing Giffords recycling complex on Kelvin Way, approximately 1 km south of West Bromwich town center. Waste will be delivered to the plant by vehicles and deposited in a depot. The combustion system will be fed from the bunker by an overhead crane equipped with a grab. The residues, including bottom ash and boiler ash, will be processed into off-site aggregates. It is important to note that the scope of the project does not cover any reprocessing system. The plant will be designed with the objective of maintaining an approximate gross electrical output of about 49 MWe.
