CHP Sandbach

The E-ON CHP plant at Albion Chemicals, Sandbach, Cheshire, went into operation in April 1999. It consists of a GE LM6000PD gas turbine, a waste heat recovery boiler and a 14 MWe steam turbine. Total electrical generation from the CHP Plant is about 56 MW, the balance of which is exported to the local network after Albion Chemicals' site demand has been satisfied. It is connected to the local electrical distribution network by two 33 kV feeders. The plant is capable of providing up to eight tonnes per hour of steam and was designed primarily for base load operation
