For combined heat and power (CHP) applications such as industrial steam production and district heating, combined cycle plants can provide very high overall efficiency and large environmental benefits.
Co-generation applications are typically more complex in operation than standard combined cycle plants due to the requirement to support multiple operating modes, such as large variations in process steam requirements, or changing seasonal heating demand. Strong plant integration and thermal cycle design skills are essential to ensure the co-generation plant can reliably support all required operational needs.
In the co-generation sector, Metlen delivers solutions which are optimized to meet specific project needs, either for new district heating plants or the upgrading of large industrial facilities.
