Brooklyn Energy Centre Nova Scotia, Canada Client: Polsky Energy Corporation Services: Project Management Detail Design for all disciplines Site Engineering Brooklyn Energy Centre is a wood-fired cogeneration developed by Polsky Energy Corporation. The turnkey facility supplier was Kvaerner EnviroPower. The plant is designed to burn woodwaste in a bubbling fluidized bed boiler. It supplies 24MW of electric power to Nova Scotia Power and 150,000 lbs/hr of process steam to Bowater Mersey Paper Company. Steam is produced in the fluidized bed boiler and then expanded in a triple extraction steam turbine, which drives an electric generator. Steam is extracted from the turbine and exported to the nearby paper mill. Three stages of feedwater heating are employed to increase cycle efficiency. The plant is also equipped with two heavy oil-fired package boilers to deliver as much as 325,000 lbs/hr of process steam in a standby mode. AMEC designed the facility using its 3-D modeling system (PASCE). This allowed the complex facility, consisting of intricate piping and ductwork, to be fit into an optimal building size with reduced interference's during construction. The control system was staged and tested in AMEC’s Atlanta office prior to shipment to the site. This facilitated a smoother, trouble-free startup. AMEc provided electrical design coordination of the plant-utility interface including step-up transformer design, short circuit, load flow analysis and protective relaying design.

Slide 6: 

Mobile Energy Services Corporation Mobile, Alabama AMEC used innovative design solutions to accomplish project success on this difficult project. The owner had minimal real estate for location of equipment. An existing turbine room was reworked to locate the new turbine. The condenser was modified and rearranged parallel to the turbine shaft to accommodate tight space. The cooling tower was bought as multiple modular units to save construction and installation time and was located above an existing pipe bridge on a new steel structure because of the lack of real estate. SEVEN MONTHS – concept to start-up

The Everett facility is one of the largest cogeneration plants in the Pacific Northwest, converting woodwaste into steam for Kimberley-Clark’s paper making business and generating electricity for the Snohomish County PUD. AMEC was the prime consultant in this unique cooperative venture between a publicly owned utility and a privately owned business. The plant was built in the middle of an existing facility, requiring considerable demolition and relocations. Kimberley-Clark personnel, AMEC and the contractor used a “team” approach to efficiently utilize the resources of the stakeholders and to schedule the work to the best advantage of the project, minimizing interruption to the ongoing tissue making process. The project was completed on schedule and on budget. A unique design aspect of this project is a floating hog fuel barge unloading facility built of precast concrete, assembled in dry dock, and towed to the site. The platform yields an efficient, fast, and clean unloading operation. The cooling system for the double extraction-condensing steam turbine was configured to enable warm water to be used for process in the winter, to recirculate to the cooling towers in the summer, or in the off-season to be split to both systems to maximize utilization of available energy. The new utility power supply and the modified power distribution system have permitted the integration of the cogeneration facility. The new 115 kV substation and other major modifications provide increased capacity, maximum reliability and operational flexibility for the mill.
