Ecogen Plans Major Maintenance Outage at Jeeralang Power Plant in Victoria

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Perth, Australia)--Ecogen Pty Limited (Newport, New South Wales) is planning a major, three-month inspection of a Siemens AG (NYSE:SI) V93.1 gas turbine at the Jeeralang natural gas-fired power station in Victoria, Australia. The maintenance is scheduled to begin by the end of September 2014 and could take up to three months.

The inspection will include a complete strip-down of the turbine and disassembly of the equipment, which will be shipped out to the component repair shed for a full inspection and repairs. The project is expected to involve the replacement of rotor blades with new parts, as well as the exchange of the exhaust diffuser and modifications to the air intake system.

Located in Bonds Lane, near Morwell, the 468-megawatt (MW) Jeeralang power station operates only during periods of peak demand. The power station is equipped with three GE MS-9001 gas turbines, each with an 80-MW capacity, and four Siemens V93.1 gas turbines, each producing 57 MW.

Ecogen also is planning a 35-day hot gas path inspection on the 80-MW GE gas turbines. The major maintenance outage will begin in April this year and will involve a detailed inspection of the gas turbine rotor. It might involve replacing turbine blades and nozzles as needed.
