Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) has embarked on an estimated US $14.5 million program to repower a combined heat and power (CHP) gas turbine cogeneration facility at their Castner-Kellner Works in Runcorn, England. The repowering involves the installation of a John Brown Engineering Frame 6 gas turbine completed earlier this year and now in commercial operation and a Sulzer Type 10 gas turbine scheduled for completion next year. In both cases, ICI is refurbishing rather than replacing existing gas turbine alternators and heat recovery boilers to reduce capital expenditures. The repowering should save better than $7 million per year on an initial investment of $14.5 million.
