The Project
In 2014, the 49MW Northern Negros plant was relocated to Palinpinon in southern Negros. Thorndon Cook staff were closely involved in the initial study, specification development and construction/commissioning support for this successful relocation project. The Northern Negros plant relocation effectively made the 20MW Nasuji plant at Palinpinon redundant and it was mothballed.
EDC was considering expanded development of the BacMan field, and relocation of the Nasuji plant was one development option. Thorndon Cook was engaged to complete a feasibility study for the relocation.
Our Role
- Transport options and limitations
- Identification of components for relocation/replacement
- Performance impacts
- Relocation schedule
- Cost estimates of relocation vs new plant
Results
The study completed by Thorndon Cook provided the client with cost and performance information to assist with their planning for the future use of the Nasuji plant, and evaluation of options to expand the BacMan development.
