Under the contract, the company would deliver the detailed piping design for intermediate and low pressure steam system to the hard coal-fired combined heat and power plant in Moorburg, Germany.
The construction and the operation of the Moorburg power facility is made by Vattenfall Europe AG, Vattenfall’s German subsidiary. The Moorburg power plant generates 1640MW of electricity and around 800MW district heating.
Vattenfall would provide district heating for around 4 million homes in Hamburg, once the power facility is operational in 2012. The Moorburg plant is expected to reduce approximately 2,300,000 tons of carbon per year, and 50% of NOx and fine particles would be reduced.
Martin Strand, chief executive officer of Citec Engineering, said: “The work includes the design of the extraction steam system and an option for designing the district heating system. Our team is closely integrated with Kraftanlagen’s design team in Berlin with the objective to make the work as smooth and intense as possible.”
Peter Ranger, division manager of Power Plant & Facility Technology of Kraftanlagen München, said: “Kraftanlagen München and Citec worked successfully together on the Boxberg power plant project, and we wanted to get Citec onboard also on the Moorburg power plant project. We particularly appreciate Citec’s excellent skills in PDMS (Plant Design Management System) in conjunction with their flexible and efficient ways of working.”
