THE FIRST WET DESULPHURIZATION PLANT IN THE CONTINENT
THE FIRST WET DESULPHURIZATION PLANT IN THE CONTINENT
The Kusile power plant will consist of 6 turnkey units delivering 800MW each for a total of 4,800MW. This is enough power to meet the electricity needs of 3.5 million households in South Africa. On the project, GE oversaw the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) of turbine islands, air-cooled condensers and a wet flue gas desulphurization (WFGD) plant. The WFGD plant is an environmental control solution and is the first to be built on a power plant in Africa. While the project continues, Unit 1 and 2 of the power plant are already online, providing energy and further securing the country’s grid.
E&IM was appointed to secure expediting, inspection and logistic services.
