CASE STUDY:
Kaeng Khoi 2 Power Plant water AND WASTEWATER treatment system
for Alstom
Project Overview
Situated in the Saraburi province north of
Bangkok, Kaeng Khoi 2 is a gas-fired thermal
power plant with a generating capacity of
1468 Mega Watts, 7.5% of Thailands total
power consumption. This gas fired, combined
cycle type plant uses 2 x 734 Mega Watt
trains of combined cycle gas turbines and
two heat recovery and steam generation
systems, feeding one common steam turbine.
The facility which includes a leading water
treatment system was designed to meet Thai
and World Bank environmental regulations.
UGL was contracted by Alstom to build a world
class water treatment system for the Kaeng
Khoi 2 Power Plant which included facilities
for pre-treatment, demineralisation, and
wastewater processing.
The Challenge
The challenge for Alstom was to secure a
consistent, reliable source of water for cooling
tower make up that was also cost effective
and sustainable. A water treatment solution, a
critical element in refining raw cooling water,
was also required to soften or remove solids,
and in this case deal with organics.
With properly treated water, the potential
for scaling in power plant cooling towers is
significantly reduced. This decreases cooling
circuit cleaning requirements, extends the
life of the cooling equipment and reduces
the Solution
UGLs extensive expertise in delivering
complete water and wastewater solutions
for the power generation industry was utilized
for this project. The solution consisted of 3 key
elements which included a pre-treatment plant,
a demineralization plant and a wastewater
plant.
The pre-treatment plant was constructed
to produce softened clarified water for the
cooling tower water make up system critical for
the plants operation. Two 27 metre diameter
lime softening re-activators, each capable
of producing 1250 cubic metres per hour of
treated water were utilised with associated
chemical dosing systems. This included calcium
hydroxide for softening, sodium hypo-chlorite
for disinfection and oxidizing, polymer for
flocculation, and sulphuric acid for the final pH
correction. The sludge from the plant is then
further treated by a thickener and dewatered
through belt presses.
