SENER and Obrascón Huarte Lain to build a cogeneration plant in México
Pemex Refinación has awarded to a consortium formed by SENER and the industrial division of the company Obrascón Huarte Lain a turnkey project for the construction of a 35 MW cogeneration plant in its Francisco I Madero oil refinery, located in the state of Tamaulipas (Mexico).
Pemex Refinación selected the consortium formed by SENER and the industrial division of the company Obrascón Huarte Lain among other major construction firms for their extensive experience in the industrial plant construction sector, in which both firms have built an outstanding portfolio of projects, both in Latin America and in Europe and Africa.
The future facility will be equipped with a heavy-duty type gas turbine as well as with a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), with suplementary combustion associated to the gas turbine, which will generate 115 t/h of steam at a pressure of 19 kg/cm² and 275 º C. This steam will be used within the refinery in the production process of the new gasoline and diesel desulfurization plants.
The other auxiliary equipment necessary for the correct functioning of the plant will include a natural gas measuring and control station, a system of air compressors for instrumentation and in-plant use, a continuous drain recovery system and a treated water cooling system, among other systems, as well as interconnections with the refinery.
SENER and the industrial division of Obrascón Huarte Lain will manage the project in full coordination in a “Full Joint Venture” structure, in which there is a no division of responsibilities for each company.
The engineering and technology group SENER specializes in turnkey projects in cogeneration plant construction, a sector in which it has carried out numerous projects both in Spain and Latin America.
In Mexico, SENER presently carries out turnkey contracts for the construction of two cogeneration plants in the state of Veracruz: the Alpek plant for Temex and a second one with Obrascón Huarte Lain. In addition, the company has developed several energy projects in this Northern American country such as the combined cycle plants Norte 1, Poza Rica and Agua Prieta II.
