GE distributor of Jenbacher gas engines in Tanzania, Clarke Energy, is supplying one of GE’s Jenbacher gas engines to Said Salim Bakhresa & Co Ltd. (Bakhresa) for a combined heat and power (CHP) plant. The plant will support the Azam flour mill in Dar es Salaam.
This installation for Bakhresa will utilize the newly available gas to generate power in the form of electricity and heat. Clarke Energy will provide one of GE’s Jenbacher J612 gas engines capable of generating 1.82 MW of electrical energy. The plant will be configured as a CHP plant, with heat from the engines being fed into a steam boiler that is able to produce 1,040 kilograms per hour of steam at 6 barg.
The power plant also will operate in a grid-synchronous manner. Clarke Energy is delivering an integrated solution for the CHP plant. This will incorporate both mechanical and electrical installation works along with grid connection support for the 33-kilovolt link.
“We selected GE and Clarke Energy for our site in Dar es Salaam due to the efficiency performance of similar units in Tanzania and their service support available in the country,” said Rajesh Nair, technical manager of Bakhresa.
“Bakhresa is one of the leading industrial houses in Tanzania, and this natural gas-fuelled power generation has significant cost- and carbon-saving benefits,” said Hugh Richmond, business development director, Clarke Energy. “As Clarke Energy’s first project in Tanzania, it will help reduce the factory’s operational costs and, in parallel, deliver reliable power.”
