Case Study: Exeter Energy Project

This 30 MW Waste-to-Energy plant is located in Sterling, Connecticut. It was placed into operation in 1991 with a 30 MW steam turbine (up exhaust).

To help the Operator double output and boost productivity, GEA recommended its PAC SYSTEM. This was the world's first parallel condensing water saver system and GEA's first installation of its PAC SYSTEM technology. The installation consists of a four-cell ACC, a surface condenser, and two-cell cooling tower.

This solution saves the client 50% make-up water annually (vs. 100% wet). This system also prevented the need to re-permit the plant after the output size was doubled to improve Operator profits.
