BIOC - IRAN

The Plant is part of a petrochemical facility to which it supplies electric power and
process steam.
The Plant consists of 5 (five) Gas Turbines, 4 (four) Heat Recovery Steam Generators
(HRSG) and 2 (two) Auxiliary Boilers. The five GTs and the four HRSGs operate in
parallel.
Transformers (five Step up transformers, two 132kV/6kV station transformers, eleven
6kV/0.4kV auxiliary transformers, two Start up transformers) and Switchgears (132kV,
6kV, 0.4kV) are foreseen.

The Plant is composed of the following main equipment:

Gas Turbines: Five ALSTOM gas turbines GT11N2-EV type, operating at 50 Hz. The
sub-sonic 14 stage axial compressor with variable inlet guide vanes is mounted on a
single shaft with the 4-stage turbine. The GT installations are equipped for dual fuel
operation: operation on natural gas as the main fuel and operation on gas oil as the back
up fuel. Four out of five GTs are connected to the four HRSGs for steam production,
while one GT operates in open cycle.
The GT gross power output, at 48°C temperature and 30% air humidity (design ambient
condition), is 84.6MW with the evaporative cooler off. Considering the evaporative cooler
on, at the same ambient conditions, the GT gross power output is 95.8MW.
Steam Cycle and auxiliary systems

Heat Recovery Steam Generators: Four Heat Recovery Steam Generators, horizontal,
natural circulation type. Each HRSG is a single pressure level boiler and is designed to
produce superheated steam (182t/h at 44 bar and 425°C with GT running at base load at
48°C design ambient temperature with the evaporative cooler on).

Auxiliary Boilers: Two water tube boilers, each one equipped with two drums (lower and
upper) and single stage superheater, designed to produce superheated steam (50t/h at
42 bar and 420°C at 48°C ambient temperature). They are equipped for dual fuel
operation: operation on natural gas as the main fuel and operation on Gas Oil as the
back up fuel.

Control System

The control system consists of the following:

- One PMS (Power Management System) for the electrical portion
- One Master Synchronizer System for NG/electrical island synchronizing activity
- One DCS for the process portion
- Five GT Control Systems, one for each turbine
- One ESD (Emergency Shutdown System) for the HRSGs and the process auxiliary
systems
- Two BMS (Burner Management System), one for each auxiliary boiler
- Five DDCS (Diverter Damper Control System), one for each diverter damper
