Project Owner:
Calpine Corporation

Completion Date: June 2000

Pasadena Cogeneration Plant – Phase 2 was constructed by the Calpine Corporation adjacent to the Phillips 66 Houston Chemical Complex. Phillips 66 uses the equivalent of 100 MW of steam from the plant, and the remainder of the power is sold out on the grid.

The 2-on-1, 550 MW combined-cycle power plant consists of two Siemens Westinghouse 501FD combustion turbines, two Nooter Eriksen three-pressure reheat HRSGs, and a Siemens Westinghouse 180 MW axial flow steam turbine with a 100% turbine bypass system.

It also includes three ABB generator step-up (GSU) transformers, a twelve-cell GEA cooling tower, two Dresser-Rand gas compressors, a 750 gpm two-pass RO system, and a Westinghouse WDPF controls system. Utility Engineering (UE) was responsible for all detailed civil/structural, mechanical, electrical and controls balance of plant engineering including all procurement specifications.

Services Performed:

• Detailed BOP engineering
• Procurement specifications
• Field engineering
• As-built documentation
