JWPCP Steam System Startup and Commissioning February 27, 2014
History Total Energy Facility ● Placed into operation in 1986 Combined cycle power plant Three gas turbines (7.2 MW each) One steam turbine (5.5 MW) Generates ~14 MW ● Capital cost of ~$45 million
History (cont.) 1994 Consent Decree ● Federal and state governments, NRDC and Heal the Bay ● Full secondary by December 31, 2002 Four new Reactor/clarifier trains New cryogenic oxygen plant Seven new digesters ● Higher electricity/steam demand ● Higher digester gas production
History (cont.) TEF Modifications ● Conduct in two stages 1. Replace gas turbines 7.2 MW to 9.9 MW Completed in 2001 2. Replace steam system 5.5 MW to 8.7 MW New HRSG’s
Chronology Equipment Procurement ● Steam Turbine Purchased in 2005 for $2.4 million Placed in storage in 2005 ● HRSG’s Purchased in 2005 for $3.3 million Stored outside, beginning 2005
Chronology (cont.) 2007 Advertisement ● Advertise for Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor ● No takers Contractors unable to locate consultants to complete engineering design ● Advertisement terminated ● Negotiate with Engineer to complete design ● Anticipate construction completion in April 2011
Chronology (cont.) Steam Turbine Overspeed Event ● April 3, 2008 ● Board authorizes emergency repairs for $2.5 million
Chronology (cont.) Expedite Project Split into two phases in summer 2008 ● Phase I: mechanical installation of steam turbine and HRSG’s ● Phase II: balance-of-plant installation and startup & commissioning Advance procure additional equipment Anticipated construction completion in May 2010
The Players • Sanitation Districts Engineering Design Field Engineering JWPCP • Engineer (designer) • Phase I Contractor • Phase II Contractor • Systems Integrator • Startup & Commissioning (S&C) Contractor • Equipment Suppliers
Construction Phase I ● Begins August, 2009 ● Ends ~April, 2010 ● Demolish steam turbine and HRSG’s ● Install new steam turbine and HRSG’s Mechanical installation only
Construction (cont.) Phase II ● Begins May, 2010 ● Estimated completion March, 2011 ● Balance-of-plant equipment ● Electrical and instrumentation ● Startup and commissioning
Construction (cont.) Phase II Construction Delays ● Equipment approvals ● Equipment fabrication ● Equipment erection Cooling towers High-pressure gas pretreatment ● In part, due to the multitude of players
Construction (cont.) Steam Blows ● Conducted in October 2011 ● Precedes startup and commissioning ● Startup & commissioning contractor needed detailed start up documents ● Startup and commissioning halted for safety reasons
Negotiations Engineer Systems Integrator Engineering Design JWPCP S&C Contractor Field Engineering Phase II Contractor
Negotiations (cont.) Topics ● Functional descriptions ● Functional test plan ● Functional testing ● Control descriptions ● Logic diagrams ● O&M manuals ● Training manuals ● Training
Negotiations (cont.) Summary ● S&C Contractor Didn’t want to provide materials, or wasn’t going to provide materials unless paid more ● Engineer and Systems Integrator Wanted more money; however, we were not confident they had the expertise to do it
Negotiations (cont.) May 2012 ● Districts parties agree • Remove startup and commissioning from Phase II contract • End Phase II contract • End contract with Engineer and Systems Integrator • Turnover startup and commissioning to JWPCP • Engineering Design to assist JWPCP
Proposal June 2012 ● JWPCP solicits proposals from four contractors ● Two proposals received ● Select contractor Offers expert in steam systems ● On June 27, 2012, Board of Directors authorizes Purchase Order for $415,000
Proposal (cont.) Proposal Deliverables ● Functional test plan ● Functional testing ● Logic diagrams ● Control descriptions ● O&M manuals Including startup, shutdown, operating, troubleshooting and emergency procedures ● Training manuals ● Training
Proposal (cont.) Proposal Deliverables (cont.) ● Schedule Seven-month schedule, completing in February, 2013 ● Programmer Logic review Make changes to programming (200 hours) ● Expertise Make recommendations for improvements ● Project team dedicated to project
Startup & Commissioning Divided into Three Stages • Document review • Document development • Startup and commissioning
Startup & Commissioning (cont.) Issues ● Steam turbine In storage since 2005 ● Steam blows Conducted more than one year ago ● Chemical cleaning Conducted more than one year ago
Startup & Commissioning (cont.) • Completed in March, 2013 One month behind schedule • Fifty-two recommendations Most implemented • Approximately $85,000 in extra work Implementing recommendations
Lessons Learned • Limit involved parties • Avoid advance purchased equipment • Tighten startup and commissioning language in specifications • Purchase all equipment under same contract
