The FDS Project includes plans for a 135 MW Co-Generation Facility powered by steam produced by the waste heat from the Coke Plant's nonrecovery coking process. The co-gen facility will produce approximately 1,000,000 MW-hrs of electricity annually, which is enough electricity to power 100,000 average homes, with NO ADDITIONAL POLLUTANTS being emitted.

Co-Gen Process

Hot waste gas from the FDS Coke Plant must be cooled so that it can be treated in a flue gas desulfuization (FGD) unit to remove sulfur dioxide. The most efficient way to accomplish this cooling is to use heat recovery steam generators, which convert the waste heat into steam. This steam is then used for the production of electricity with no additional air pollutant emissions.

Facility Design

The co-gen facility will occupy approximately 5 acres of land located directly adjacent to the FDS Coke Plant. The facility will include a triple uncontrolled extraction non-reheat condensing steam turbine generator unit fueled by superheated steam. Electric power generated by the facility will be delivered to the electric utility grid with a portion of the electricity utilized for on-site services and by the FDS Coke Plant. The co-gen facility features include a single steam tubine building, a maintenance and water treatment building, exterior tankage, cooling towers, 138kV substation and general roadway access to the major equipment.
