POWER GENERATION
Shown here is a MAN turbo compound system
(TCS) for exhaust gas energy recovery.
which is a necessary part of the pressure
reduction process for liquid natural gas,
and will supply renewable electricity, corresponding to the consumption of up to
100 000 homes.
The K60MC-S engines represent the
latest generation of the two-stroke, low-speed engine series and will run on
crude rapeseed oil. A recent increase of
the stroke from 1650 to 1740 mm and
an increase of the engine speed from
136 to 150 r/min brought the output per
cylinder to 1980 k W. Other improvements were lower heat rate and lower
CO2 emission.
In June 2009, Blue-NG signed a
turnkey construction contract with Land
& Marine Project Engineering Ltd. for the
design and construction of the power
plants. The Wirral, U.K.-based company
is an international engineering and contracting company with business activities
including commercial and industrial
combined heat and power plants, and
biomass plants. A

Two-stroke, low-speed diesel
engine of MAN B&W design in
combined cycle.
Blue-NG, a U.K.-based renewable
power company, has ordered two MAN
B&W 7K60MC-S engines to power two
environmentally friendly power plants in
London. Each sister plant, located in the
Southall and Beckton districts, will have
one MAN B&W 7K60MC-S engine at its
heart. The engines are manufactured by
MAN Diesel’s Polish licensee H. Cegielski
– Poznan. The two plants are due to be
operational by the end of 2011.
Each engine develops 13. 9 MW at
150 r/min and is installed with an
organic rankine cycle (ORC) turbine
and turbo compound system (TCS) for
increased efficiency.
The heat from the two plants will be
used in the gas pre-heating process,
