Duke Energy - South Houston Green Power - Natural Gas Project

Duke Energy (formerly Cinergy Solutions) joint ventured with BP to create South Houston Green Power to operate the existing steam and electric generating facility at BP’s refining and chemical complex in Texas City, Texas.
 
S & B was then selected by South Houston Green Power to construct the state-of-the-art natural gas fired cogeneration unit at the BP refinery.
 
The project included installation of three GE Frame 7FA combustion turbines, three Deltak supplementary fired heat recovery steam generators, and a Dresser Rand non-condensing steam turbine. This facility now produces nominally 700 megawatts of electricity and approximately 2,500,000 pounds an hour of medium pressure steam.
 
Detailed engineering and procurement of engineered items was subcontracted to Burns and Roe, with overall project management, all construction activities, and bulk material procurement by S & B. Our commitment to safety was realized when construction activities reached over 1 million work hours with no lost time accidents.
 
S & B’s engineering department provided detailed design for the OSBL (outside battery limits) interconnect portion of the project throughout BP's chemical plant and refinery. 
 
In 2004, this plant was nominated for Power Magazine’s “Power Plant of the Year” award. In January 2005, the project received the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) National Excellence in Construction award in the mega-project (over 100 million dollars) category.
