Contract for rehabilitation of gas-gas heater at Avedøre Power Plant unit 1

BWE has been awarded the contract for the rehabilitation of the Gas-Gas Heater (GGH) at the Avedøre Power Plant Unit 1’s flue gas desulphurisation plant. The GGH was originally supplied by BWE back in 1989 and has been in continuously operation since then without any major repair.

The rehabilitation will be performed during the coming five weeks summer outage period. Due the very limited time available a complete new rotor structure will be pre-assembled at site and lifted into the FGD building through a temporary hole in the roof. All the sealing systems will be renovated or replaced with new ones. The heating elements will be replaced with new enamelled elements.

After this complete rehabilitation, the GGH will have been brought up-to present standard and will be able to serve the plant for many more years to come.
