Plant Description

El Atf power project consists of two 250 MW combustion turbine generators (CTGs). Each one feeds ex-haust gases to its respective unfired heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) with no supplementary firing. Steam from two HRSGs feeds one 250 MW, single reheat, condensing Steam Turbine Generator (STG).

The estimated 750 MW net output is achieved by burning natural gas in the CTGs without supplementary HRSG firing. Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions are controlled by dry low-NOx (DLN) combustors. An inlet air filtration system supplies filtered combustion air to the CTGs. The steam exhausted from the steam turbine feeds a once-through cooling, single-pass, divided water-box condenser.

Power is generated at manufacturer standard voltage in the CTGs and the STG, stepped up through main transformers, and fed to the National grid via a 220 kV, GIS switchyard. The Nile River provides the plant cooling water which is then discharged to the Marquase Canal.

The project contracting plan utilized a multi-package system. Sixteen contracting packages and purchase orders procured the equipment and services.
