IMMI Turbines, a manufacturer of rotating equipment and services, including valve and pipe skids, generators, compressor, pumps and more, has announced that it will build a $3.2 million heat and power generation plant in Mason City, Iowa. The eight megawatt Cogen (steam) power plant will utilize combined heat and power (CHP), which integrates the two sources into a single, highly-efficient process, reducing fuel demand and emissions.
The power plant, which IMMI Turbines will design, construct and install, will consist of one remanufactured gas turbine and a heat recovery steam generator producing 4.2 megawatts (MW) and 24,000 pounds per hour (PPH) of 150 pounds per square inch (psi) process steam for an ethanol plant. The electricity generated from the plant will be sold to local energy producers, and the steam generated from the plant will be sold to an adjacent Ethanol plant.
