FAQs
Essentially, a cogeneration plant is a power plant that uses two sources of fuel to produce electricity. In the case of Redwater Cogeneration Plant, these are natural gas and regeneration gas. Gasses are fired to turn a turbine, and are then passed through a waste-heat recovery system used to heat water and glycol, which is used in a fractionation facility by the plant’s primary client.
The Redwater Plant produces 40 megawatts of electricity, with an additional 60 megawatts of thermal energy.
Redwater uses a combination of clean-burning natural gas and regeneration gas. Regeneration gas is created through the fractionation process used by the plant’s primary client, Williams Energy. These gasses are used to power a turbine and duct burner.
