The modernisation included replacement of the existing pre-combustor system with a new DLN1+ combustor with a Fuel Gas Module (FGM) skid to increase the efficiency of the two installed 9E gas turbines and reduce carbon emissions.

The upgrade resulted in significant improvements, including:

  • Reduction of NOx emissions to significantly below 25 ppm, a reduction of 75 per cent from previous level.
  • Reduction of water usage through use of DLN technology.
  • An improvement in efficiency.
  • Extension of the intervals between required maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
