Maarky Thermal Systems Receives Contract
Maarky Thermal Systems is pleased to announce they have been awarded a contract to supply a steam surface condenser and other auxiliary items for a project in the Mid-West.
Maarky Thermal Systems has been awarded a contract to supply a steam surface condenser for the Lansing Board of Water and Light (BWL) in Lansing Michigan. The condenser will be installed in the REO Town facility that is being converted into a combined cycle plant. The facility is being designed and engineered by Burns and Roe Enterprises of Oradell, New Jersey.
The $182 million project is the BWL’s first natural gas-fired energy generation facility. The BWL will generate up to 100 megawatts of electricity. Additionally, steam (~300,000 lb/hr) will be created in the cogeneration process. The steam will serve the BWL’s 225 steam customers in and near downtown Lansing. Switching to natural gas will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent, compared to the BWL’s existing coal-fired plant. The coal-fired plant, now more than 50 years old, will be decommissioned once the REO Town facility becomes operational.
The steam surface condenser and other auxiliary items will be delivered to the REO Town facility later this year.
