Modernized Tor di Valle District Heating Plant in Rome Completed
GE and CEFLA SC have completed ahead of schedule - and by applying advanced and efficient technologies - the modernization of the ACEA Tor di Valle CHP plant in Rome featuring two of GE’s Jenbacher J920 FleXtra gas engines. The combined heat and power (CHP) plant will supply heat to about 40,000 residential customers in Rome. The electrical power will be used at ACEA ATO2’s sewage treatment plant, and the surplus electricity can be exported to the power grid.
These are the first two 50 Hz, 9.5 MW J920 FleXtra units in commercial operation in Italy. In addition, the ACEA Tor di Valle district heating project marks the first time that GE’s J920 FleXtra technology has been selected to modernize an existing power plant. With the downsizing of the plant and the installation of two highly efficient J920 FleXtra CHP solutions, 16,000 tons of CO2 emissions can be saved annually.
The modernized CHP plant was designed and delivered by a consortium made up of GE and CEFLA, with GE providing the Jenbacher J920 FleXtra generator sets, related engineering and associated balance-of-plant equipment. CEFLA developed the engineering aspects of the plant, providing project management, ensuring plant supplies, and taking care of all plant installation, including the civil infrastructure.
