Project Background

The Kwinana co-generation plant, a 120MW combined cycle gas turbine, is located about 40km south of Perth, WA. The plant was evaluating the installation of auxiliary boilers to enhance operational flexibility in response to current steam and electricity demands.

Client:

ENGIE

Location:

Kwinana, WA

OGP's Role:

Engineering Services

The OGP Solution

OGP was engaged by ENGIE to participate in the study on the Kwinana co-generation auxiliary boiler installation and assess its feasibility. Our responsibilities included:

  • Project management of the feasibility stage of the project, including the engineering studies, market consultation, and CAPEX pricing for client ROI and business case development/finalisation.
  • Undertake engineering pre-feasibility and feasibility studies for the development of the proposed scope and final solutions.

The Outcome

OGP’s extensive experience in Oil & Gas allowed us to accurately assess and define the availability of LPG and refined fuel gas (RFG). This understanding was crucial in balancing the customer’s steam requirements with the demands of the electricity market. By collaborating closely with the client, relevant stakeholders, and the WA electricity market operator, OGP was able to identify and present a viable technical solution valued at approximately $11M. We achieved this while carefully considering CAPEX costs for the client and evaluating and finalising project’s economic viability.
