Heat recovery steam generators (HRSG): cost vs benefit
Heat Recovery Steam Generators boost plant power output, enhance plant efficiency, and reduce the amount of fuel needed per MW hour. Initial CAPEX drives long-term OPEX savings over the 20+ year (useful) life of HRSG systems. See list of savings by gas turbine model.
World’s Largest HRSG
World’s biggest: the heat recovery steam generator supplied by John Cockerill will remain one of the world’s largest HRSGs. Installed in Flemalle, Belgium, this new Combined Cycle plant will deliver up to 875 MW capacity, and replace an ageing coal and gas plant.
