Case Study: El Dorado Energy

High ambient temperatures were the main factor in designing an ACC solution for El Dorado Energy, located in Boulder City, Nevada. This plant has a 160 MW steam turbine (axial exhaust). It was placed into operation in 1999.

The ACC we designed is comprised of 30 cells in a 5x6 configuration and met or exceeded the following criteria:

high ambient temperature design (108º F.)
modular construction with enhanced structural design to meet maximum grade level construction activities.
wind mitigation measures were installed in 2001 to improve performance during periods of high winds, which are a regular occurrence in this desert valley location.
14 ppb oxygen content level (condensate sparger required.)
