I. INTRODUCTION
This report is part of a feasibility study prepared by Bettine LLC for Nuvista Light& Power, Co. for
the development of a Power Plant for the supply of electric power to the Placer Dome’s Donlin Gold
Mine Site and to the City of Bethel, Alaska and regional villages. The study evaluates two sites for
the location of the Power Plant, one at Bethel and one at Crooked Creek. The positive and negative
aspects of each location are being evaluated. In addition to evaluating power generation, the
feasibility of providing district heating to the residents of Bethel, local institutions (schools,
community college, hospital, local prison) and local businesses, is being evaluated. The goal of this
report is to provide the project developers with sufficient information including specific
recommendations to identify the most reliable and feasible, long-term power production options,
which would result in generating electric and thermal energy at competitive pricing as well as
facilitate reduction of State payments in the framework of the Power Cost Equalization Program.
Permitting standards and expected performance related to the operation of the Power Plant have
been included to make the developer aware of the possible requirements. The proposed Power Plant
is termed “Modular” to reflect the design of the plant allowing a significant degree of its
transportability.
In the Feasibility Study, two technologies for power generation are assessed:
- Generation of power by combined cycle with combustion turbines and cogeneration in a
heat recovery steam generator and steam turbine generator.
- Power generation by diesel engines.
The costing information provided herein is based on actual cost proposals provided by five
companies – two being suppliers of combined cycle (GE and Alstom) and three suppliers of diesel
generation sets (MAN B&W, Wartsilla and RUMO). Following initial evaluation, it was decided to
exclude from further assessment the Russian-made engines. These engines are of the same design as
MAN (license), the price difference is practically non-existent and the manufacturer has no servicing
capabilities in North America. Information and qualifications are included in the Appendix Vendor
Data.
This report includes one section which evaluates applicable fuels from various points of view such
as properties (heating value, sulfur content, etc.) and cost determined in dollars per million Btu. Fuel
properties impact both the capital cost (for example, whether or not a flue gas de-sulfurization
system is needed) and the operating cost.
Pertaining to the plant located in Bethel, the evaluations also include the supply of heat energy to a
district heating system in the City of Bethel. The study does not evaluate the feasibility of the
application of district heating for specific or individual recipients of thermal energy. Included,
however, is sufficient information to conduct such evaluations for most of the potential customers of
the district heating system. The Application of heat pumps was considered for recovering low
temperature latent heat of steam condensation in the steam cycle. The conclusion of the evaluation
was that the cost of this recovery exceeds the possible savings.
The Power Plant specifications are provided at the beginning of the study. Definitions of the terms
used in the report are included. The two locations are shown on the following map.

The Crooked Creek site is 135 miles inland from Bethel in the N-E direction. The weather
there will be slightly more of the continental type with colder winters. The elevation of the
plant above sea level at Crooked Creek is 200 feet. At the time of preparation, there was no
specific information relating to the weather conditions at Crooked Creek.

D. Emission Standards
The most likely standards that the Modular Power Plant will have to comply with are:
SO2 500 ppm molar fraction
Remark: To comply with this standard, the sulfur content in the fuel should not
exceed 0.5% by weight.
CO There is no State standard for CO emissions from liquid fuel fired power
generation equipment; however, exceeding 100 tons per year may trigger the
requirement for a New Source Review and the setting of a performance standard
for the plant.
NOx The State of Alaska does not have a standard for NOx; however, the standard to
be used here will most likely be 0.15 lb/million Btu or 95 ppm vol. at 15% O2.
PM The standard for particulate matter (PM) is 0.10 grain per cubic foot at standard
conditions (= 0.22 lb/MM Btu) averaged over 3 hours.
The values for expected standards were obtained from the Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation as guidelines for plant design. The actual performance
requirements will be determined based on application for the Permit to Construct and Permit
to Operate.

IV. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
The Power Plant design is based on the capability to erect the plant in a short time with little site
preparation and, if required to move the plant easily to a different location with little financial
burden. Because of this, the Study evaluates locating the plant at two sites (see map in Figure 1):
City of Bethel
Crooked Creek
The requirement for modularity has limited the selection of the power generating technology. The
field was limited practically to two technologies that are capable of delivering the required electric
power and of being almost 100% reliable. The technologies are:
Generation of power in the combined cycle with combustion turbines and heat recovery
steam generator with steam turbine and generator.
Power generation in diesel engines.
Since in plants of this type the cost of fuel constitutes the greatest parts of the total operating cost
including debt service and return on investment (up to 85%), fuel economy became the most
important guidance for the design philosophy. As a result, combined cycle or other type of waste
heat recovery is being evaluated herein.
The MPP will not include large buildings enclosing the entire plant or parts thereof; rather it will
have systems enclosed, as much as possible in modular structures. Control room(s), office and space
for personnel needs (locker rooms, sanitary facilities, ect.) will also be provided in modular units.
The location of the MPP also has a major impact on the plant size and required facilities. As shown
in the Specifications, the plant located in Crooked Creek would supply about 14.5 MW less electric
power. The plant will not have to supply thermal energy for district heating; only a small amount for
oil tank heating. Supplying thermal energy for the Crooked Creek village will be marginal.
The Bethel location presents more energy requirements, both in power and thermal energy. The fuel
cost is lower by about 15% than that in Crooked Creek because it does not include the cost of
barging to Crooked Creek. The City has a commercial airport and the additional infrastructure is
provided by the City.
Crooked Creek requires less capital investment due to lower power and thermal energy demand,
however, due to its remoteness, it is inaccessible during the winter and early spring season, which
may impact the cost of maintenance and the reliability of the system.
8 V. FUEL SELECTION A. Comparison of Various Fuels Table 1 summarizes the evaluation of various applicable fuels for the MPP. All of the listed fuels can be used for firing in combustion turbines. All fuels except Naphtha can be used to fire diesel engines. The list was put together as a result of evaluating various fuels. Some fuels with prices significantly above the indicated range were not included. Table 1 (Prices as of Jan 30th, 2003) Fuel cost per MM Btu gross All Btu/lb or gallon values are NET Btu/lb Btu/gal LHV lb / gal $ / gal at refinery$/MM Btu excl. shipping $ / gal incl shipping to Bethel $/MM Btu in Bethel $ / gal incl. shipping to CC $/MM Btu including shipping to CC Diesel Fuel No. 2 (TESORO) 18,421130,236 7.07 0.85 6.53 1.04 7.99 1.25 9.60 Diesel Fuel No. 1 gross 18,561125,101 6.74 0.90 7.19 1.09 8.71 1.30 10.39 Pour 40 Heating Oil (DF1 75%, DF2 25%) 18,461126,679 6.86 0.87 6.87 1.06 8.37 1.27 10.03 Jet B 17,931 112,9296.30 0.88 7.79 1.07 9.47 1.28 11.33 # 2 DIESEL FUEL (WILLIAMS ALASKA) 18,380 131,3997.15 0.87 6.58 1.06 8.03 1.265 9.63 JP-4 17,973113,194 6.30 0.87 7.69 1.06 9.36 1.27 11.22 Naphtha 19,743 120,2776.09 0.82 6.82 1.01 8.40 1.22 10.14 Heating fuel Product Nr. 43 18,194 126,6306.96 0.86 6.79 1.05 8.29 1.26 9.95

Some fuels that seem to be good candidates for the project have not been included due to
obvious reasons, such as very low availability and high cost. For example fuel oil No. 4
could be a better fuel, however, its availability in Western Alaska is low, therefore, it is more
expensive, expressed in $/MM Btu than DF2 that has a lower heating value.
The evaluation presented in Table 1 is reduced to the common denominator of the fuels:
delivered cost of 1 million Btu.
As indicated in Table 1, Diesel Fuel No. 2 and Fuel Oil No. 2 are the most feasible fuels. In
addition to excellent combustion properties (heating value, density, flash point), these fuels
have good transport properties (low viscosity). The sulfur content of the fuels is limited to
0.5%; however, the sulfur content of the Tesoro DF2 has usually been in the range of 0.1%.
The low percentage of sulfur results in low SO2 concentration in the flue gas; thus, expensive
flue gas desulfurization systems (FGD) are not needed. Emissions that are significantly
below standard can be used as environmental credits to offset other pollution sources of the
company or to trade with other companies.
B. Fuel Shipping
Transporting the fuel from Cook Inlet or West Coast USA/Canada to Bethel or Crooked
Creek requires three steps: Linehaul barge transportation into the Kuskokwim River to
Bethel, off-load, temporary storage and transfer of fuel to smaller barges, lighterage in
smaller barges from Bethel to Crooked Creek. The shallow nature of the Kuskokwim above
Aniak (between Bethel and Crooked Creek) provides the greatest challenge, both physically
and financially, to this endeavor. The estimate of delivering, with specialized shallow-draft
tugs and barges that can operate between Bethel and Crooked Creek, approximately
32,000,000 gallons to Crooked Creek will cost up to $12,800,000, not including fuel cost.
Delivery of the same quantity of fuel to Bethel will cost approximately $6,720,000 less – a
large incentive for the Bethel location. There is currently enough ocean barge capacity to
cover the offshore leg.
Both Yukon Fuel Company and Crowley Marine each operate 10 million gallon tank farms
in Bethel, which, with some alterations, could serve as a safety cushion in case of a late start
of fuel shipments due to weather conditions or other unforeseeable events and can supply the
balance of the required fuel.
The price structure of fuel to Crooked Creek is presented in Table 2
The price structure is based on the assumption that Cook Inlet would be the source of most
of this product, but there are definitely other options. Depending on world and domestic
market conditions, bringing tank ships into Dutch Harbor, discharging their cargo into shore-
based storage, or lightering into shallow barges and shuttling the product into the
Kuskokwim may be a viable alternative. That scenario may or may not save money.

Table 2
Basic Fuel Price (Seattle Low Sulfur Diesel #2) as at 1/22/03 $0.85/gal
Linehaul transportation from Cook Inlet to Bethel $0.19/gal
Total Estimated Price at Bethel $1.04/gal
Bethel storage expenses (seasonal throughput) $0.08/gal
Shallow-draft transportation from Bethel to Crooked Creek $0.21/gal
Total Estimated Price at Crooked Creek $1.25/gal
The $0.08/gallon storage expense is applicable to loads that are intermittently stored at the
named company’s facilities. It does not apply to shipments to Crooked Creek.
While the marine operations companies believe that it is possible to move the required
volume from Bethel to Crooked Creek, the operators are nevertheless nervous about the
practicality of fitting all of the additional traffic onto the river. Fuel barges are much more
efficient than freight barges because of their lack of need for deck strength and unloading
equipment, and further, lend themselves more easily to rafting. The scenarios proposed by
Yukon and Crowley assume that they can raft up to four barges per tug. Any freight
operation will be hard pressed to handle more than two barges per tug. The fuel shipping
operations will be conducted annually between June 1st and September 30th. The project
owner may want to consider purchasing barges and tugs.
The fuel shipping companies assume that all of the fuel will originate in Cook Inlet.
There is a more feasible option to deliver fuel to Dutch Harbor by a tanker and ship in
fuel barges to Bethel and/or Crooked Creek.
C. Fuel Receiving and Storage System
The Fuel Receiving and Storage System includes the following installations:
Fuel barge off-loading dock with a marine header located on the west bank of
the Kuskokwim River at Bethel and the north bank of the river at Crooked
Creek. The dock design was developed by Peratrovich, Nottingham and
Drage, Inc. for the Donlin Creek Mine Late Stage Evaluation Study and
proposed by LCMF LLC.
An 8-inch pipeline connecting at the dock site to a marine header and on the
other side to a header for filling all tanks at the bulk fuel facility.
Bulk fuel tank farm facilitating storage of approximately 25 million gallons
of fuel for Bethel and 22 million gallons at Crooked Creek. This equates to a
nine-month supply of fuel at either Bethel or Crooked Creek. A fuel reserve
of 3.2 gallons (1 tank) will be created in the first year of fuel shipping.
The tank farm will consist of eight insulated tanks, each 120 feet diameter
and 40 feet high with a nominal storage capacity of 3.2 million gallons. The
tanks will be heated with waste heat from the heat recovery system of the
11
prime movers to keep the fuel above the specified minimum temperature of
20°F.
One 100,000 gallon insulated intermediate fuel tank located near the prime
movers. The tank is heated to the temperature of 70°F to improve fuel
handling and injection into the engines of the prime movers.
A transfer pump will deliver the fuel from the bulk fuel tank facility headers
to the intermediate storage tank via a 4-inch delivery pipe insulated with
removable panels. A standby transfer pump is also included.
The fuel tanks will require 121,000 Btu/hr, averaged annually to maintain the minimum
internal temperature of 20oF. The intermediate fuel tank will require 7,330 Btu/hr averaged
annually to maintain the internal operating temperature of 70oF. The heat will be provided
from the heat recovery system of the Power Plant.

Development, Earthworks Foundations and Bulk Fuel; Conceptual Design Report

VI. DESCRIPTION OF THE POWER PLANT
The major systems of the MPP located in Bethel are listed by systems in this Section. The
Crooked Creek Power Plant location will include a less number of diesel engines and less
fuel storage tankage. The district heating system for the Crooked Creek village, if decided to
be developed, will consist only of two heat exchangers and piping to the houses. All
drawings are attached at the end of this section.

5. Balance of Plant Systems described in Section VI D
6. Drawings of Plant In Section following VI B
A. Power Generation System
The Power Generation System consists of:
1. Prime Movers – Combustion Turbine or Diesel Engine
2. Heat Recovery Steam Generator System
3. Steam Turbine System
4. Electric Generation System
5. Feedwater and Make-up Water Treatment System
6. Instrumentation and Controls including the DCS System
B. Prime Movers
As determined in the Section “Design Philosophy”, depending on the plant location,
different outputs will be required of the Power Plant:
90.1 MW electric + up to 230 million Btu/hr thermal energy for the Bethel
location
73.8 MW electric + marginal amount of thermal energy for the Crooked Creek
location
The prime movers will provide all required power and 180 MM Btu/hr (in Bethel) thermal
energy for the district heating system. For extremely cold temperatures (up to 50 MM Btu/hr
additional heat demand), the plant with CT will activate firing of the duct burner.
The diesel-based plant will have to start up the auxiliary boiler.
Based on equipment capabilities, the following alternative arrangements of prime movers
has been selected:

* See remark above
Neither MAN B&W nor Wartsila included heat recovery options. Other companies
specializing in heat recovery from diesel engines systems will provide those. Section VI
provides a discussion of waste heat recovery options.
The Alstom combustion turbine GTX100 shows a flat efficiency curve for loads between
65% and 100%. The turbines will work most of the time in this range. GE’s CTG does not
include the flat, horizontal line indicating constant fuel consumption rate at increasing load.
Unit fuel consumption of GE’s aeroderivative turbines is strongly dependant on the load
practically over the entire range of load. When the power demand decreases to below 60
MWe, only one Alstom or GE CTG + STG set will be operating.

C. Comparison of Combustion Turbines with Diesel Engines applied in the Prime
Moving duty.
Combustion turbines have become a widely accepted technology for producing
power, especially when there is a need for small efficient Power Plants working in
the combined cycle. Diesel engines have been proven over numerous years and the
application to be a reliable source of power in Alaska. Both technologies demonstrate
advantages and disadvantages, as outlined below:
1. Combustion Turbine Advantages
a. High Efficiency when applied in the combined cycle. The exhaust gas
temperature in a combustion turbine is very high, in the range of
900oF to 1100oF, which makes recapturing the heat for cogeneration
and production of additional power in a steam turbine relatively easy.
In the case of the MPP, where there is need for recovering low
temperature heat for tank and space heating, the thermal efficiency
depends only on the minimum allowable stack temperature
15
determined by the SO2 content in it. In the MPP a total thermal
efficiency of 84% is not only possible but feasible.
b. High Reliability – Combustion turbines are well known for their
excellent reliability, approaching 100% (see attached charts for the
GE LM2500 turbine, Appendix). The reliability of GE’s LM6000
and Alstom’s GTX100 is in the same range.
c. Multi-Fuel Capability – Combustion turbines offer the ability to burn
various fuels ranging from natural gas to Naphtha and diesel fuel.
Relative efficiency remains comparatively consistent for all fuels and
only varies with the heating value of the fuels. The multi-fuel
capability makes the CT a reliable choice for Alaska, where during
certain times some fuels may not be readily available.
d. Low Weight – Combustion turbines exhibit low unit mass per MW
output, especially when compared with diesel engines.
2. Combustion Turbine Disadvantages:
a. Lower Efficiency in the simple cycle as compared to Diesel engines.
For a combustion turbine plant to operate at peak efficiency the steam
loop must be included and operating.
b. Requires well experienced and educated maintenance staff.
c. Specialized parts – Combustion turbines require specialized parts,
which are only obtainable from the manufacturer.
3. Advantages of Slow Speed Diesel Engines
a. High Efficiency – Slow speed diesel engines, operating at 514 RPM
offer the best simple cycle thermal efficiency of any technology
readily available. This means that even when the heat recovery
system is inoperable, the engines can operate with 48% efficiency.
This is much higher than the combustion turbines, which have a
simple cycle efficiency of 37%. This also leads to lower fuel
consumption than combustion turbines in simple cycle.
b. Multi Fuel Capability – Slow speed diesels are able to burn every fuel
we have investigated except for Naphtha. Again, since fuel
availability may change in a remote location like Bethel this is a
benefit.
4. Drawbacks of Diesel Engines:
16
a. Weight – The Diesel engines are extremely heavy, which means
moving them on and offsite will require very large cranes. The 18
MW diesel engines evaluated in this study (18V46 or 18V48) weigh
in excess of 260 tonnes (570,000 lbs) each, or roughly 16 tons of
weight per MW of output, which makes moving them difficult. For
comparison; a combustion turbine of twice the output weighs less
than 40 tonnes or roughly one ton of weight per MW of output.
b. Foundation construction cost is closely tied to the weight and
vibrations generated by the engines. Due to their low rotational
speed in the range of 514 RPM their low frequency vibrations are
significantly closer to the natural frequency of the support structures
and more likely to cause resonance. The foundations required for the
diesels must be highly engineered; they are significantly larger and
more complicated than those for CTs. There will also be a need for an
increased number of piles to account for the additional weight and
vibration loads.
c. Lower Combined Cycle Efficiency – In combined cycle with district
heating, the thermal efficiency of the diesels is lower than a
combined cycle combustion turbine arrangement. This is due to the
lower temperature exhaust heat available from the diesels and large
losses in the lubricating oil and jacket water cooling systems. With
the highest possible degree of waste heat recovery, the thermal
efficiency of system with the diesel engine is up to 10% lower than
the equivalent thermal efficiency of a combustion turbine applied in
the combined cycle.
d. Lubrication Oil Needs – Slow speed diesels require massive amounts
of lubrication oil to operate. At full load the lubricating oil
consumption is 0.8 gram/kWh (0.00176 lb/kWh), which for the
Bethel located plant operating at average 80% capacity will amount
to 556 tons, over 3500 barrels of lubricating oil per year.
e. Maintenance – Diesel engines require more maintenance than
combustion turbines. This means that there is more downtime
associated with each engine and more staff will be required.
f. Diesel engines generate large amounts of NOx – in the range of 940
to over 1000 ppm vol. Even if costly, both in capital and operating
cost SCR systems are applied, they cannot sufficiently reduce the
NOx performance of the combustion turbines, which is in the range
of 35 ppm vol. This performance is guaranteed by both GE and
Alstom without an SCR system.
5. Comparison Summary
17
The lower thermal efficiency of the combustion turbine working in the
simple cycle, as compared to the diesel engine, is most likely the primary
reason why the CTGs have not found as wide a use in Alaska as diesel
engines. Experience in other Northern countries, Sweden, Finland, and
Iceland, show that combined cycle plants based on CT as prime movers are a
viable technology capable of winning the market against diesel engines.
Significantly lower weight makes them easier to transport and install at
remote sites in Alaska. Both Chugach Electric Association and Anchorage
Municipal Light and Power, the two major generating utilities in Alaska,
generate their power using combined cycle generation.
Experience shows that diesel engines require continuous supervision by
mechanics and operators, whereas, combustion turbines can work with only
once-a-week supervision.
Nevertheless, diesel engine driven Power Plants are the most popular means
of generating electricity in the remote locations of Alaska, primarily due to
general familiarity with the diesel engine and very high reliability.
D. The Power Generation system with CT drive consists of (see block diagram on next
page, Figure 3):
1. Three combustion turbine-generator assemblies
2. One dual-pressure-level, heat recovery steam generator with the option of
being duct-fired (HRSG)
3. One induction/condensing steam turbine-generator with condenser and
cooling tower with saturated steam extraction for the district heating system
4. Advanced distributed control system (DCS) with the capability of operating
peripheral balance of plant (BOP) systems.
5. Related ducting and piping including required valves, dampers and actuation
equipment
Figure 3, Block diagram of the Combustion Turbine – driven Modular Power Plant
18
The combustion turbine-based plant is a 2-on-1 non-reheat combined-cycle Power Plant
designed to generate the required electrical power with one train (CT and HRSG) out of
service. The normal plant operating configuration will consist of two combustion turbine
generators, (CTG), one dual-pressure-level, heat recovery steam generator with the option of
being duct-fired (HRSG), one induction/condensing steam turbine-generator (STG).
The design fuel is #2 diesel fuel oil (DF2) with the pour point suppressed to –15oF (See
attached specifications). All major components are modularized to the maximum extent
possible for quick erection and commissioning while still being transportable.
For the purposes of further discussions, the Alstom Power Model GTX-100 combustion
turbine-generator system will be used. Information on GE LM6000 combustion turbine and
auxiliary systems will be provided to stress the differences, advantages and disadvantages.
Each combustion turbine will be fitted with a generator driven directly by the turbine’s shaft
through a gear reducer. Exhaust gases from each CT are directed via a collector duct to one
HRSG for steam generation. The turbine exhaust gases can be discharged via a diverter
damper to the atmosphere; this in case the steam turbine cannot receive the full design flow
of steam or the STG and/or HRSG require shutting down, for instance for maintenance.
Steam generation is as follows:
19
Table 5
The Alstom HRSG with GTX100 will generate
HP steam up to 234,000 lb/hr at 1150 psia, 950°F
LP steam up to 19,200 lb/hr at 134 psia, 407°F
The GE HRSG with LM6000 will generate
HP steam up to 205,000 lb/hr at 615 psia, 750°F
LP steam Not included
In the Alstom proposed system the generated steam is routed to a double steam turbine,
which drives generator. The high-pressure steam supplies the HP turbine, and the low-
pressure steam supplies the LP turbine. Up to 165,000 lb/hr (in winter) of steam is extracted
for district heating. The HRSG has also a supplementary liquid fuel - fired duct burner
section, with which the steam output will be increased if the DH demand increases above
available.
The Power Plant in Bethel is designed with the flexibility to operate in 2 modes:
Normal: 2 GTX100 or LM6000 combustion turbine generators + 1 HRSG + 1 Steam
turbine generator to achieve nominal output with one stand-by
GTX100/LM6000 system.
Emergency: When the steam turbine is unavailable due to repair/maintenance all three
GTX100/ LM600 machines can operate in simple cycle configuration to
achieve the nominal output.
In the arrangement for the Crooked Creek location, two GTX100 or LM6000 turbines will
provide the required power output. To obtain a high thermal efficiency the system will also
include an HRSG and STG, however, the output of the HRSG will be lower due to marginal
demand for local heating.
At both plant locations, for heating purposes in emergency situation, a stand-by, fuel oil fired
boiler will be included.
A detailed description of Alstom’s GTX-100 and GE’s LM6000 is provided in the attached
literature.
Comparison of GTX100 supplied by Alstom Power and LM6000 supplied by GE Power
Systems
Technical information about the two combustion turbines is provided in the attached Alstom
and GE literature.
The turbines are comparable in size – the rated Alstom CT output is 42 to 43 MWe, the
equivalent output of GE’s LM6000 is 46.5 MWe.
The net heat rates in Btu/kWh generated differ somewhat:
- GTX100 7,683 Btu/kWh (at LHV),
20
- LM6000 8,323 Btu/kWh (at LHV)
The Alstom GTX100 machine has been engineered for the specific purpose: combined cycle
power generation. The GE LM6000 machine is aero-derivative which means that the original
design objective was an aircraft engine, where the weight and turbine shaft output are the
predominant requirements. Ability to work in the combined cycle was not even among the
objectives during the design phase.

At loads 73% and up the efficiency and heat rate remain practically constant.

As the graphs show, The LM6000 turbine reaches its highest efficiency / lowest heat rate at
almost 100% of its output capability, whereas the GTX100 turbine maintains a steady heat
rate / efficiency between 73% and 100% nominal capacity.
The Alstom machine is built for stationary duty therefore it is heavier than the LM6000. On
the other hand, the GTX100’s are more efficient over a wider range of operating loads.
Price wise, the LM6000 is about $680,000 ($16,000 / MWe) less expensive than the
GTX100. The cost difference on 3 turbines, of $2,040,000 will be paid off by fuel savings
within 6 months.
Heat rate difference: (8,323 Btu/kWh (LM6000) - 7,683 Btu/kWh (GTX100)
= 640 Btu/kWh
Work-hours at 99% availability and 80% demand: 24 x 365 x 99% x 80% = 6938 hrs
Fuel used on the heat rate difference: (∆ heat rate x hrs) 4.44 million Btu / kWh, year
Cost of fuel at $7.99 per million Btu delivered to Bethel $35.48 / kWh, year
At 90 MW generation rate (power demand accounted above) $3,193,000 / year
Fuel savings pay off period $2,040,000 / $3,193,000 = est. 7 months and 20 days

E. The Power Generation system with diesel engine drive consists of:
1. Diesel engines, including stand-by, each driving one generator
2. One intermediate pressure heat recovery steam generator, with the option of
being duct-fired, for the district heating system.
3. Advanced distributed control system (DCS) with the capability of operating
also peripheral, balance of plant (BOP) systems.
4. Related ducting and piping including required valves, dampers and actuation
equipment
The diesel-based Power Plant will include a series of engine + generator sets. The number of
engines for the Bethel location is five (MAN B&W) or six (Wartsila) and, for the Crooked
Creek location, four (MAN B&W) or five (Wartsila). The capacity of a single MAN B&W
engine is 18,427 kW (five engines produce 92,135 MW net); the respective number for the
Wartsila engine is 16,600 kW. Five Wartsila engines will not supply the required capacity
for the Bethel location of 90,100 kW. Because of this, six Wartsila engines are required for
base duty. Similarly, for the Crooked Creek location the number of Wartsila engines required
for the base duty is higher by one in relation to that of MAN B&W engines (five versus
four).
To establish the required availability of power from diesel engines, two engines will be
added at each location; one as hot stand-by and one as a maintenance unit.
To increase the plant’s thermal efficiency a heat recovery steam generator, with or without a
steam turbine, may be included. Neither MAN B&W nor Wartsila included heat recovery
features in their documentation. Utilization of waste heat is included herein based on PES’
own calculations and evaluations.
Remark: Installation of the diesel engines will be a very difficult task. In order to
increase the efficiency and reduce cost as well as the requirement for maintenance, 17 to 18
MW engines should be applied. The weight of each engine is in the range of 300 tons. The
engines will be supplied assembled. This requires heavy cranage and moving equipment,
which might not be available for the project or difficult to operate in the Bethel or Crooked
Creek conditions.
F. Heat Recovery Options for the Diesel Plant
1. From exhaust gases
Approximately 30% of heat supplied with the fuel leaves the engine with the exhaust
gases. To obtain the numbers in Table 6 we have assumed that, due to low sulfur
content (0.1 – 0.2%) in the fuel, which translate into 100 to 200 ppm volume content
in the exhaust, the flue gas temperature can be 235oF (with a 6oF safety margin). This
allows larger heat recovery than if the sulfur content was 0.5% in the fuel (see V.
Fuel Selection). The steam generated in a highly efficient HRSG can be used for
23
power generation and extraction for district heating, or it can be produced as
saturated for district heating purposes only.
Four engines (either MAN B&W or Wartsila) represent the case of the Crooked
Creek plant location with Wartsila engines working at 88% of power demand (66.4
MWe vs. 75.5 MWe)
Table 6 shows that no matter which cogeneration method is chosen to fulfill the
requirement for district heating in Bethel, both diesel-based plants will have to
include, at average winter conditions, additional firing of 57 MM Btu/hr or 65 MM
Btu/hr, respectively. The plant can supply district heating needs only when working
at maximum capacity in mild spring or early fall conditions.

temperature 275oF.
2) Superheated steam at 350 psig, 550oF
3) Production of saturated steam at 120 psig, if power generation is not required.
2. Heat recovery from lubricating oil and water jacket heat exchangers
Heat loss in cooling of lubricating oil and the engine water jacket is typical of diesel
engines. The recoverable heat (above 180oF) amounts to a large percentage of the
input fuel, 5.9% in the lube oil cooling and 19% in the water cooling system. This
amounts to a net loss equivalent to 165.4 MM Btu/hr or 1264 gallons of diesel fuel
per hour; or 8.86 million gallon of fuel per year in the plant running at 80% capacity.
The heat recovery challenge is related to the relatively low temperature heat energy,
which excludes steam production. But this energy can be used for heating or pre-
heating district heating circulating water and for local heating needs (tanks or space).
After taking into account the heat from lubricating oil and water jacket heat
24
exchangers Table 6 from the above section. From exhaust gases, can be amended as
follows:
The plant will operate with the basic number of engines all the time, as required by
the demand. When one engine goes off line for unplanned repairs, the hot-stand-by
unit is put on line within minutes and the maintenance unit is put into hot-stand-by
duty, if possible.

G. Heat Recovery Steam Generation System
The Alstom HRSG will produce superheated steam, in unfired operation, at two pressure and
temperature conditions: HP = 1100 psia / 950°F and LP = 87 psia / 386°F. The generated
steam is routed to an arrangement of two steam turbines, which drives an electric generator
through a gear. The high-pressure steam supplies the HP turbine, and the low-pressure steam
supplies the LP turbine.
GE proposed an unfired HRSG, single-pressure, two drum, natural circulation, top supported
unit. Heat absorption surfaces will be mounted in factory-assembled modules to facilitate
construction. The HRSG will produce superheated steam at 600 psig, 750oF.
The HRSG is also equipped with a supplementary liquid fuel - fired duct burner section.
Some of the most important design features of the HRSG will include:
All tubes will be formed with extended surface arranged inline for ease of inspection,
cleaning, and maintenance. In addition, access cavities will be provided between
modules.
The inlet ductwork will include a gas distribution system for uniform temperature and
flow upon reaching the duct burners or superheater bank.
The inlet duct will include multiple layer insulation.
Two-drum design – steam and mud drums.
Modular construction with integral circulators to minimize field welding of
interconnecting risers and downcomers. Modular construction also allows factory
hydrostatic testing to assure ease of installation.
Maximized module size to reduce foundation cost and area requirements.
The HRSG will be top-supported to minimize upper drum movement and eliminate
expansion joints in the casing around the upper drum. Top support also simplifies upper
drum interconnecting piping.
The HRSG is designed and fabricated in modules with modularized steam and water piping
to simplify shipping and assembly in Bethel.
The diesel powered plant (see Table 7) will include a heat recovery steam generator to
generate superheated steam at 350 psig, 550oF, a portion of which will be used for additional
power generation and a portion will be used for providing heat for the district heating
system. The unit will be constructed similar to the HRSG described in Section VI.
At the Crooked Creek location, the entire superheated steam will be used for power
generation in a condensing cycle.
26
A separate heat exchange system will recover heat from the lubrication oil (LO) cooling
system and jacket water (JW) cooling system. This heat recovery system will be minimal at
the Crooked Creek location and will provide the marginal amount of heat required for plant
space heating, fuel heating and local community heating.

And other support systems and equipment required for efficient operation of the turbine. The
system also includes insulation consisting of:
Noise enclosure over turbine, gear and generator to reduce noise to less than 85 dB(A)
at 1 m (3 ft) distance
Rain shelters for oil units and auxiliary systems
Turbine casing heat insulation
I. Steam Condensing (cooling) System including
Tubular steam condenser that condenses steam at 1.5 inches of Hg column
Cooling tower with basin and foundation
Condensate circulating pumps, each with 100% of total circulation capacity
Settling pond with appropraite piping
Condensate Polishing Plant
Water for the cooling towers will either be drawn from wells or the river. As an alternative to
cooling towers, the cooling system may consist of once through water cooling from a nearby
pond in Bethel. Although the once-through cooling system is attractive from the cost and
operation point of view, it may have environmental drawbacks, which will need to be
addressed in any environmental report. A once through cooling system could reduce
construction costs and lessen plant parasitic power.
A packaged water tube - type boiler, diesel fired, will be installed for use during startup and
to provide steam, in the event that all the three CTGs are not available for service to provide
freeze protection, building heating and district heating system. The boiler can also be used
to supplement the district heating system
J. Electric Generation System, consisting of:
Three medium-voltage three-phase synchronous generators, each driven by
the 2 active and one stand-by combustion turbines, 13.8 kV, 60 Hz
One three-phase synchronous generator driven by the steam turbine, also
13.8 kV, 60 Hz.
Generator neutral earthing equipment
Medium-voltage switchgear with all feeders and coupling panels
K. Feedwater System
28
1. Feedwater Pumps
The system includes two 75% capacity feedwater pumps, which deliver deaerated
feedwater from the deaerator through the condensate heater and economizer to the
boiler drum. The pumps are provided with minimum flow re-circulation controlled
by a system of diaphragm actuated flow control valves. A main flow control valve
will maintain the proper water level in the steam drum. The pumps will be capable of
delivering feedwater to the HRSG at a pressure at least 3% above the highest safety
valve setting on the HRSG, as required by the ASME code. The pumps will be
horizontal multi-stage centrifugal type. One pump will have a dual drive including
electric motor and steam turbine; the latter will be used at system start-up and to
maintain, for safety purposes, water flow to the steam drum in case of total plant
blackout.
2. Demineralizing System
Two (2) 100% makeup water demineralizer systems with capacity of 50 USgpm each
will be provided. The systems will include 100,000-gallon makeup water storage
tank from where makeup is pumped to the deaerator. The system will also provide, if
required, water for injection in the CTG to control NOx emissions.
3. Phosphate Feed System
Phosphate feed to the HRSG steam drum will be controlled to maintain the desired
phosphate residual and alkalinity in the boiler water.
4. Organic Feed System will be introduced to the deaerator to maintain the
desired specific conductance in the condensate.
5. Oxygen Scavenger Feed System includes chemical feed into the deaerator
to remove dissolved oxygen in the condensate.
L. Instrumentation and Controls including the DCS System
1. The Plant DCS System
The combustion turbine generators and steam turbine are controlled through an
advanced distributed control system (DCS) consisting of an ABB Advant DCS
equipment package. The Advant system is designed to provide automated start-up
and shutdown of the CTGs and the STG from the control room. The DCS provides
supervisory oversight, monitoring, and set point regulation for local controls devices.
The supervisory function allows operation of major plant processes and equipment
from the local control room. Processing units function independently, however, the
exchange of signals across the communications network for controls purposes is
avoided wherever possible.
29
Controls for the District Heating system and the BOP systems will be also integrated
into the DCS system. The main functions of the DH system to be integrated into the
DCS system are:
- Steam supply to the Central Heat Exchange Station based on ambient
conditions and demand signals from local heat exchange stations.
- System circulating water parameters, and so on.
The system will allow a large degree of independence of the DH system within the
framework of the Power Plant operation requirements.
The Control Philosophy will be designed to the needs of the Modular Plant.
2. Process Controls
Major plant systems to be controlled and monitored include:
a. Combustion Turbine/Generator System
b. Heat Recovery Steam Generator System
c. Steam Turbine Generator System
d. Condensate, Feedwater and Demineralizer System
e. District Heating Systems
3. Combustion Turbine Generator Systems
Each combustion turbine generator is supplied with a dedicated microprocessor -
based control system. It contains the unit metering, protective relaying and control
switches.
The control system provides control functions including: fuel, air and emissions
control; sequencing of turbine fuel and auxiliaries for start-up, shutdown and cool
down; monitoring of turbine control and auxiliary functions; protection against
unsafe and adverse operating conditions.
The plant control system will interface with the combustion turbine control system
through a data link.
The CTG is designed for a “pushbutton” start locally or from the control room. Its
operation is fully automatic. The remote control from the control room is
accomplished from the plant control system CRTs via a digital link from the CTG
control system. The plant control system logs analog and digital data. Under
abnormal conditions the CTG output may be lowered for short durations during that
time, the units will operate at a lower efficiency.
4. Steam Turbine Generator:
The STG will be supplied with standard stand-alone control system handling all
30
closed and open loop turbine controls. The control system will include:
a. Woodward Governor 505E based turbine loop controls
b. Allen Bradley PLC module for turbine safety trip functions
c. Allen Bradley PLC for turbine auxiliary control
d. Generator AVR
e. Generator protection relays and synchronizing equipment.
5. Heat Recovery Steam Generator System
Control of the HRSG will consist of the following loops integrated into the plant
DCS system to safely and efficiently maintain steam header and feedwater pressure
to match turbine-generator requirements during start-up, normal operation, upsets,
and shutdowns
The HRSG control system will be comprised of the following subsystems:
a. HRSG Drum Level Control System
b. Steam Temperature Control
c. Plant Service Steam Temperature Control
d. Deaerator Level Control
6. HRSG Drum Level Control System
The HRSG drum level control system will be a conventional three-element control
system using main steam flow as the feed-forward signal; drum level and feedwater
flow as the feedback signals. Based on demand, the system controls a feedwater
control valve to adjust the flow to the boiler. The system is designed to operate on
single element control using drum level only during start-up.
7. Main Steam Temperature Control System
The purpose of this system is to maintain the final superheater outlet temperature at a
manually set value with minimum fluctuation. This is a single station, Cascade-type
control system in which the final superheater outlet control unit serves as the master
or primary control unit and the desuperheater outlet control unit serves as the slave or
secondary control unit.
8. Plant Service Steam Temperature and Control
Steam header temperature will be controlled through a desuperheater with a
temperature controller that will regulate feedwater flow to maintain temperature.
9. Deaerator Level Control System
The deaerator level will be controlled from the control room. If the level is low,
make-up will be admitted from the demineralized water storage tank. Overflow will
be discharged to the condensate tank. Level switches will be provided to alarm high
and low levels and to trip the feedwater pumps on low-low level.
10. Feedwater System
31
Boiler Feedwater systems will be provided with pump minimum flow control, which
is furnished by the pump manufacturer. This normally consists of an automatic
recirculation control valve, which will circulate water back to the deaerator during
periods of low HRSG feedwater demand.
11. Demineralizers
The Demineralizer system will be equipped with a programmable controller (PLC).
The water conductivity will be monitored in the control room.
12. Plant Monitoring System
All required plant parameters would be monitored and indicated, alarmed and/or
recorded in the control room to facilitate the plant operator with control of the plant.
The gas turbine will be interfaced to the plant control system for monitoring and
trending.
Local indicating devices, pressure gauges, thermometers, etc., will be furnished for
local monitoring of selected plant parameters. Grab sample ports will be provided on
the condensate, feedwater and main steam lines for periodic analysis for other
contaminants. Sample coolers, as required, will be provided.
M. District Heating System
1. Bethel
The Power Plant located in Bethel will include a district heating system, which will
meet the diverse thermal energy needs of Bethel’s residential, institutional,
commercial and industrial customers. For the Crooked Creek location, it’s proposed
to include a small system for heating the local housing.
Based on the heating oil usage records and projected city and surroundings growth,
we estimate that Bethel will require the following heat supply:
Summer supply: 127 million Btu/hr averaged over for May - August
Winter supply: 177 million Btu/hr averaged over January & December
Maximum winter supply: 230 million Btu/hr for about –40oF
Yearly average supply: 134 million Btu/hr
Since the numbers represent monthly averages, the actual minimums and maximums
may differ significantly from the given amounts. It is planned that during a 2 to 3
week period in July or August, the system will be shut down for maintenance. The
maximum winter demand of 230 million Btu/hr is estimated based on recorded low
temperatures.
The system has been engineered so that every reasonably accessible building in
Bethel can be supplied with heat and hot water. This includes all residential housing,
32
schools, the community college buildings, government buildings, city buildings, the
hospital, the prison, the airport, and local businesses. The system can also provide
heat to an existing or new swimming pool for the general population of Bethel.
The development of the Bethel Power Plant will include the construction of trunk
pipelines (see drawing BT20089-00-000-001) for supplying heat to one Central Heat
Exchange Station. From there one main trunk line will serve the airport and one will
serve the City. The pipeline to the City will branch out to the North and East. It is
assumed that smaller distribution lines for buildings or groups of buildings will be
constructed by the City or by private enterprise.
Heating buildings is accomplished by hot water produced during electricity
production and then piped to receivers around whole districts. Providing both heat
and hot water is an extremely efficient use of fuel and demands co-ordination of
energy supply with local physical planning. There are over 30,000 district heating
systems in the USA. Hot water district heating meets the thermal energy needs of
residential, commercial and industrial users from the same distribution line.
In the combustion turbine driven MPP, applying waste heat to district heating allows
increasing the thermal efficiency of the plant to as high as 83 or 84%. In the diesel
engine driven MPP, the thermal efficiency can be as high as 69%.
The Bethel district heating system will be based on using hot water instead of steam
as the thermal energy carrier. Older district heating systems use steam for this
purpose, however, there has been a general movement towards using hot water,
which is recommended by the International Energy Agency – an international body
with headquarters located in Europe that promotes energy efficiency by using district
heating and heat pumps. The advantages of water heating over steam heating are
several, the most important of which are:
a. Safety. Water is used in district heating systems with temperatures in
the range of 170 – 194oF (77 – 90oC), which is sufficiently below the
water boiling temperature. A leak in the piping, whether outside or
inside the heated space, will not result in rapid conversion of water to
steam, which prevents the possibility of scalding or a steam
explosion.
b. At working pressures the volume of steam is 180 times larger than
the volume of the same mass of water. This means that water requires
smaller diameter piping and valves, as well as smaller size pumping
and heat exchange equipment. Smaller diameter piping results in
lower overall heat losses; hot water systems lose only a maximum of
10% of their energy before it is delivered to the desired location,
whereas same duty steam - based systems lose as much as 30% of
their energy to ambient air.
33
c. Due to safety considerations, pressurized steam systems must be built
according to the ASME Code; as a result, they are significantly more
expensive in both capital and operating cost terms. Steam systems are
also more expensive due to larger pipe sizing and the requirement for
higher horsepower of drives for pumping equipment. The
maintenance cost of steam-based systems is also significantly higher
than that of water-based systems.
2. System Specifics
a. Pipes & Pumps
Sizing pipe for the district heating system was determined by the estimated
heat usage of the Bethel community. The heat capacity of the Bethel district
heating system was based on the average heating oil usage, accounting for
20% growth over 10 years. We estimated a heat delivery rate of 177 MM
Btu/hr average load in winter, with a maximum momentary winter load of
230 MM Btu/hr. The heat load also accounts for utility hot water usage.
Heating water delivery rate is based on the heat demand and the temperature
difference between the delivery and return lines. At a ∆T of 65° F the
required pipe size to avoid incurring excessive pumping costs while
balancing capital costs is 16” pipe. The attached Tables DH1 and DH2 show
calculation of the relative capital costs and yearly pumping costs based on
heat demand. Calculated costs are for pipe sizes ranging from 10 inch to 24
inch.
For supplying pipe we have contacted several manufacturers that are familiar
with district heating pipe. Prices for the pipe ranged from $25 per linear foot
for 10-inch pipe to $83.00 per linear foot for 24-inch pipe.
The pump size needed was also determined using the table DH1. The 16-inch
pipe seems to be the most economic. The required horsepower at 177 MM
Btu/hr is 531 HP and 757 HP for 230 MM Btu/hr. This gave us the general
pump size and required operating energy.
b. Heat Exchangers
The District Heating system will include main heat exchangers where the
district heating water is heated with heat supplied from the Power Plant. The
size of the heat exchanger was determined by the average winter heat rate of
177 MM Btu/hr. However, the system will have sufficient capacity to allow
for heating demands during extreme low temperatures. The heat exchanger is
a condensing type to make use of the latent heat of vaporization.
After the main exchange station at the Power Plant, there will be several local
exchange stations to deliver heat to individual or groups of houses. These
34
stations will have heat exchangers that transfer the heat to a lower pressure
loop that delivers hot water below 15psi. The reason for the low-pressure
loop is to meet the 15psi limit for ASME building codes. The size of the
intermediate heat exchangers will be determined by the heat requirements of
the surrounding structures.
Using water directly from the District heating system should be avoided to
prevent contamination of the water in the main trunk lines, and to extend the
life of the system. Contaminated water increases maintenance costs and
causes premature failure in the main distribution lines. Also, the pressure for
delivery water needs to be kept low for safety reasons. Since the delivery
pressure in the main lines will be above 70psi, an intermediate loop will
allow the pressure to be dropped to a reasonable level for safety.
At the final delivery point, radiant heaters will be installed in individual
buildings for heating. These heaters will run off the intermediate exchangers
that are linked to the main trunk lines. In some cases, forced air heating units
can be retrofitted for district heating.
c. Backup System
For the modular Power Plants, we will include a stand-by package oil-fired
boiler used to supply heat for district heating. This boiler will only be
operated when the plant is down for maintenance.
3. System Installation
The scope of the feasibility study only covers the basics of main trunk piping,
primary heat exchangers at the power plant and exchange stations. A more thorough
investigation will be needed to obtain a better knowledge of the customer base and
the engineering specifics of a complete district heating system.
The overall capital equipment cost includes the main trunk lines, the delivery pumps
and the primary heat exchangers at the power plant and exchange stations.
The install costs for a district heating system will be significant, as several miles of
main trunk lines will have to be laid. With our current information, we estimate that
laying the main trunk line, installing the central exchange station, and insulating pipe
joints will take about 40,000 man-hours. Additional residence and hookup costs will
depend on the size and demand on the district heating system.
The only needed regular maintenance for the district heating system will be on the
primary feed pumps and heat exchangers at the Power Plant. Main trunk lines for
district heating will have to be inspected yearly, as will intermediate heat exchangers.
4. Crooked Creek
35
Because of the low population density and distances between houses, the cost of
connecting to the system will be extremely high and was not investigated as part of
this study.
N. Environment Protection System
The Environment Protection System of the combustion turbine-driven Modular Power Plant
is simple and requires little or none controlling systems to maintain highest performance in
Alaska. The Modular Plant will not generate emissions above the best performance of other
type power plants. As a matter of fact, the factual emissions will comply with the BACT
philosophy (best available control technology). It will generate practically no hazardous
liquid or solid waste.
1. Emissions to the Ambient Air
Alstom Power as well as GE Power are ready to guarantee emissions. The following
table is the performance guarantee issued by Alstom Power.
GTX100 AEV Burner System
Load 50 - 100 % Fuel
Fuel Diesel No 2
NOx ppm vol at 15% O2 35 35 25
CO ppm vol at 15% O2 5 5 5
UHC ppm vol at 15% O2 5 5 5
VOC ppm vol at 15% O2 4 4 4
PM10 mg/Nm3 8 8 8
SO2 ppm vol at 15% O2 <200 <200 <200
UHC - Unburned hydrocarbons; components are measured as C3H8
VOC - Non-methane, Volatile organic compounds; components are
measured as C3H8
Ambient conditions:
- Barometric pressure 950 - 1050 mbar / 13.7 - 15.2 psia
- Ambient temperature -35 -- +50 C / -31 – 122oF
- Relative humidity 0 - 100%
GE Power Systems’ stated performance is as follows:
NOx ppmdv 42
NOx lb/hr 53
CO ppmdv 6
CO lb/hr 5
HC ppmdv 2
36
HC lb/hr 1
SO2 ppm <200
The GE values are based on dry volume (commonly used in the USA), whereas
Alstom is based on total volume (commonly used in Europe). The values are
comparable; practically the same.
Neither NOx nor CO emissions need to be controlled. For comparison, the
performance of diesel engines installed in Alaska without tail-end gas treatment
systems is in the range of 900 to 1000 ppm vol. Diesel engines even with a tail end
control system – Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) do not perform as well as the
combustion turbines.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions depend entirely on the sulfur content in the fuel to
be used in the Plant. The selected fuel (DF2 supplied by Tesoro) has an average
measured sulfur content of 0.1% - one fifth of the permitted value.
Particulate matter is produced from the incomplete combustion of fuels, additives
in fuels and lubricants, and worn material that accumulates in the engine lubricant.
These additives and worn materials also contain trace amounts of various metals and
their compounds, which may be released as exhaust emissions.
As the Alstom performance guarantee shows, the PM emissions from a GTX100
turbine is in the range of 8 mg/Nm3. The most stringent PM emission standards (for
hazardous waste incineration) set the limit at 25 mg/Nm3 (for Environment Canada
Standard).
2. Liquid and Solid Waste
The plant produces negligible amounts of liquid or solid waste:
- Blow down water from the HRSG at the estimated rate of 420 gallons per hour.
This stream can be normally discharged to the sewer system, settling pond or
can be recirculated back into the make-up water demineralization system.
- Blow down (bleed rate) from the cooling tower circulating cooling water at the
estimated rate of 10,000 gallons per hour. This stream is also not hazardous - it
has a higher concentration of minerals in the water; it can be normally
discharged to the sewer system or to a settling pond. Normally treatment of this
stream is not required.
- The plant will generate a very small amount of filtrate from filtering fuel before
injecting to the combustion chamber. This waste will be placed in containers
for disposal at a local landfill or for shipping to the mainland.
37
- Other waste generated at the plant will be sewage and average municipal
garbage. Which will be disposed of at the City of Bethel disposal facilities.
3. Noise prediction
Both Alstom and GE Power Systems guarantee low noise from their turbines. Below
a short noise prediction has been performed by Alstom for a typical energy park
plant.
Sound pressure levels in dB(A) have been calculated for receiver points at 1000,1500
and 2000 feet's distance from plant center. A grid noise map showing the predicted
sound pressure levels over the surrounding area has also been calculated.
For the predictions, Soundplan 5.6 for Windows was used. The calculations in
Soundplan are made by the “General Nordic prediction method”.
The acoustic model consists of all main buildings and major noise sources, which
means that different screening effects are taken into account. The noise emission data
(sound power level dB relative to 10-12 W) is introduced.
In this prediction the values of the sound power levels from the noise sources is
standard values. Often there is a specific noise limit mentioned in the contract. From
the limit an acoustical design of the plant regarding different silencers and less noisy
equipment is performed. In the typical prediction, the values of the sound power
levels from the noise sources are standard values. Therefore it is possible to reduce
the sound pressure levels in the receiver points if the customer presents any
particular noise limits.
The results of the prediction can be seen in Table 8 below. All values are A-weighted
sound pressure levels relative to 20-5 Pa.
The following page shows a picture of the average decibel ratings of some activities.
Figure 6 Typical Noise Levels

airport.

O. Balance of Plant Systems and installations include:
Compressed Air System,
Auxiliary Boiler
Plant Utilities
Buildings and other Enclosures
Maintenance Division
Plant Waste Management described in Section Environment Protection
System
1. The Compressed Air System will provide air for actuation of various control
valves and for power tools. It consists of:
Compressor, 120 psig, air cooled, with electric motor
Starting air receiver, working pressure 110 psig
Condensate collector for compressor and starting air vessel
All necessary piping
2. Auxiliary Boiler
Diesel fuel and used lube oil - fired boiler working in standby duty. The boiler is
used during plant start up for steam line blowing and to provide heating of the fuel
and plant.
During normal operations of the Plant, the boiler will be used sporadically during
periods with very low ambient temperatures, when the heat recovery system cannot
provide sufficient heat for space heating and the district heating system.
The paged, water-tube boiler will be equipped with all necessary controls and
instrumentation.
3. Fire Protection System:
The fire protection systems will include redundant water pumps including a diesel
engine - driven unit. The 100,000-gallon raw water storage tank will serve as a
source of fire-fighting water. As an alternative, water from the cooling pond or
make-up water well will be used. Appropriate detection, alarms will be included in
strategic locations and system actuation will be automatic when and where
necessary.
For the main electric systems, automatic release halon extinguishers will be used:
Control Room electric and electronic equipment
Distributed Control and Supervisory system processor
Motor Control Centers
Turbine / Engine monitoring and control system
42
Station service transformer 13.8 kV / 4160 V 60 Hz
Low-voltage distribution for auxiliary drives
DC supply system for monitoring and control systems
All other electrical equipment and installations requiring
protection
4. Plant Utilities
Plant utilities include:
Water system for other than process uses – drinking and sanitary water and
supply to the fire-fighting system. The utility water system is closely
correlated with the process water system.
Electric utility system – lighting, Maintenance Shop power, various non-
process alarms and operation of the fire protection system. For the last
function the system will be connected to the alternative UPS (Un-interrupted
Power Supply) system. The system is closely correlated with the electric
system for the process.
Compressed air – described above
Sewage and spill collection system will collect and deliver sewage and spills
to a tank, which will be services by the City of Bethel or a local contractor.
The HVAC system will be provided for the control room and electrical room
and the maintenance shop only. The electrical room will be ventilated and
cooled to maintain less than 85°F temperature. Control rooms will be
maintained at 68˚F. Introduction of outside ambient air was assumed
sufficient for this purpose, i.e.; no mechanical cooling equipment is
necessary. The rooms will be heated with hot water, as required for
operator’s comfort. The process buildings will be heated sufficiently by the
process equipment; for ventilation, fans will be installed where required.
5. Civil Works, Buildings and other Enclosures
To minimize the cost and promote modularization all equipment of the Modular
Power Plant will be housed in modular structures that will allow easy access to the
equipment and also relocation of the plant. The structures will thermally and sound
insulated as needed. Control Room, office and utility space will also be provided in
modular units.
43
As a result of such development, the civil works will be simplified and will include
only necessary works and structures such as:
Site preparation, earthworks
Limited piling and foundations for placing the modules
Tank farm Geotextile lining, thermal protection of the Permafrost with
Thermo Siphon
Simplified tank foundations
Tanks and other tank farm related works
For a listing and specification of site development, earthworks, foundations and tank
farm please see the attached Conceptual Design Report by LCMF LLC of
Anchorage, Alaska.
6. Maintenance Shop
Due to the limited capabilities for local fabrication and repair, the plant will include a
reasonably sized maintenance facility. This facility will be able to service both basic
plant equipment and the rolling stock on the premises. See attachment Maintenance
and Repair Shops.
44
VII. RELIABILITY AND AVAILABILITY STUDY
A. Introduction
The Feasibility Study of the MPP to be located in Bethel or Crooked Creek, Alaska, includes
as an important section, Determination of the Plant’s Predicted Availability and Reliability.
Reliability is defined as the probability that an item (component, equipment, system or even
an entire plant) will operate without failure for a stated period under specified conditions.
Availability is defined as the fraction of the total time that a device or system is able to
perform its required function. The availability can be expressed as a fraction (or percentage)
as follows:
Availability A = MTTRMTTF
MTTF
+;
Where:
MTTF = mean time to failure (mean time the items is working or available to do the
work)
MTTR = mean time to repair.
MTTR + MTTF = total time
Reliability is represented by: R = TT
UPOTTT−;
Where:
TT = total time in the period
UPOT = unplanned outage time
The reliability quotient includes planned outage (for instance, for planned maintenance or plant
vacation shut down) in the time the system is ready to work. Only unplanned outages reduce
the reliability factor.
45
B. Basis of High Availability and Reliability
Plant operating availability and reliability depends on the following major areas:
Engineering & Construction
System/Equipment Redundancy
Equipment and Manufacturers
Maintainability and Operability
Operating & Maintenance Practices
Safety
1. Engineering & Construction
Desired plant availability and reliability starts at the drafting table and engagement of
the design company of the project from the very beginning. This is done through
contracting with a reputable engineering and construction company that have the
characteristics outlined below. The desirable situation would be a construction
company with a strong engineering division specialized in power generation projects.
The characteristics of desirable engineering and construction contractors:
Extensive and recent experience on similar or comparable projects
Excellent track record and client references
High caliber staff of professional engineers and managers
Good Quality Assurance Program based on company’s own
experience
Use of good engineering and design practices including;
constructability, operability, maintainability, and adherence to safety
2. System / Equipment Design and Redundancy
System/Equipment Design and Redundancy should provide for most efficient and
reliable technology and layout, as well as for sufficient redundancy. One important
ingredient of an efficient system is that it is based on equipment design that has been
used extensively and successfully in similar applications with as much redundancy as
practical.
Systems or equipment, by their nature of service, require frequent
maintenance or whose loss would cause unit or plant outage should
be designed with inherent redundancy.
Use of system and equipment designs that have been applied and
proven in similar applications exhibiting high availability and
reliability
46
3. Equipment and Manufacturers
The objective here is to procure reliable equipment and to shorten downtime with the
availability of Service Representatives and proximity of service shops.
Procure equipment from leading and quality manufacturers that have
excellent track record in the industry or similar applications
Proximity and responsiveness of manufacturer’s Service
Representatives when called to assist
Proximity of manufacturer’s repair or overhaul shop
4. Maintainability and Operability
The objective of plant maintainability and operability is to minimize the complexity
and time required for maintenance and to operate the plant with minimum number of
operator surveillance. This is generally accomplished by the following:
Using equipment having features of low maintenance design
Equipment designed to be maintained in-place with minimum
disassembly and minimum usage of temporary scaffolding/rigging
and handling tools.
Installation of permanent maintenance platforms where required
Accessibility and adequate space around equipment
Permanent cranes and hoists where practical
Environmental protection where necessary
Equipment and system design selections based on minimizing
operator attention
Automatic startup and shutdown operation
Manual intervention features of automatic processes
Equipment capacity selection to provide maximum turndown, as may
be required
Monitoring of systems and equipment to provide operators
information for safety and indications for required maintenance
Remotely located control panels properly positioned for operator’s
visual and physical access in the control room
Local control panels properly positioned for operator’s visual and
physical access
Adequate lighting, ventilation and acoustic softening on operational
areas
Accessible valves, switches and other instruments
5. Operating & Maintenance Practices
Perhaps this is the most significant factor affecting the reliability and availability of
a plant. The objective here is to minimize unscheduled shutdowns of the plant by
well planned operating and maintenance procedures or practices. Some of the
47
elements of good O&M practices are:
Having operating staff with the right training and educational
credentials
Concise, easy to follow maintenance and operating procedures
Diligent monitoring and trending the systems and equipment
performance
Preventive maintenance as recommended by equipment
manufacturers
Adequate spare parts inventory
Membership in a spare engine pool
Good housekeeping practices
6. Safety
Prevention of accidents and resultant injuries contribute significantly to plant
availability and reliability. Here are some key OSHA items to consider:
Any hazardous materials should be stored and handled as required by
applicable codes and standards
Rotating equipment shall be provided with appropriate guards against
accidental direct contact by operators and dropped tools that could
ricochet to cause injuries or damage to sensitive equipment,
instruments and devices.
Surfaces that are warmer than 120ºF that are accessible to operators
during routine maintenance and inspection procedures should be
insulated.
Comfortable working environment
Operators free of prohibited drugs and alcohol
Adequate lighting and ventilation
Good housekeeping practices
C. Objectives of the Study

1. Identify major contributors to risk and significant factors involved;
2. Provide input to the design process and to assess the adequacy of overall
design;

Identify the decisions that have to be made, criteria for these decisions,
and the decision-makers;
1. Definition Of The System
Summary
Nuvista Light and Power is planning to construct and operate a new power plant in
Western Alaska. The Plant will supply electric power to the Placer Dome’s Donlin
Mine, to the City of Bethel and the neighboring villages and will supply steam and
hot water to a district heating system for the City of Bethel. The subject of this
Reliability Study is the MPP option in which combustion turbines or diesel engines
would be applied for power and heat generation working in the combined cycle.
Plant Description
For specifics of the Plant please refer to Section VI. The plant will be sited to the
south west of the City of Bethel at an area sized at approximately 80 acres. The site is
in the proximity of the Kuskokwim River. The site sub-surface conditions are silty
ground on top of not fully stable Permafrost – the average temperature of the frozen
ground is slightly below water freezing, around 30ºF – 31.5oF. Soil geotechnical
conditions are generally known for preliminary design of foundations and support
structures; however, more testing and evaluation is required to avoid errors in
foundation design.
49
An alternative location for the plant is Crooked Creek, AK, about 150 miles up river
from Bethel. There are no reliable ground condition data; as a result, full geotechnical
study of the ground conditions will have to be completed. However, an onsite
examination of the borrow pit located at Crooked Creek indicates the soils consist of
fractured rock, sands and silts. Based on these examinations it is expected that the
soil conditions at Crooked Creek will be substantially improved over those at Bethel.
Cogeneration Plant
The Plant will include as prime movers three (3) fuel oil (diesel DF2) – fired
combustion turbines of which two will be in continuous service and one in stand-by
duty. The plant also includes a heat recovery steam generator and a steam turbine
with condenser and cooling tower. The capacity of the Plant is as follows:
At the Bethel location 126 MW CTG + 25 MW Steam Turbine + up to 230 million
Btu/hr thermal energy
At Crooked Creek location 126 MW CTG + 25 MW Steam Turbine + up to 3
million Btu/hr thermal energy
Fuel System
The diesel fuel (DF2) or equivalent fuel oil #2 will be stored in a farm of eight (8) 3.2
million gallons tanks installed next to the Cogeneration Plant. The fuel will be
brought into the tank farm, during the Kuskokwim navigable period, between June 1
and September 30, by means of fuel barges with a capacity of 2.3 million gallons
(7500 tonnes). The barges will bring the fuel to a fuel dock where it will be pumped to
the bulk fuel tank facility headers via an eight inch (8”) insulated pipeline by means of
a transfer pump. A standby transfer pump is also included.
There are two 10 million gallon tank farms between the City of Bethel and the Power
Plant operated by fuel shipping companies and storing mostly diesel fuel.
Other plant systems are described in Section VI. Description Of The Power Plant.
The content of sulfur in fuel and resulting from this content of SO2 in flue gas is
below Environmental Standards that will be imposed on the Plant, therefore, removal
of SO2 from flue gas (FGD system) will not be required.
Generation of nitrogen oxides in the combustion turbines is below requirements,
therefore, special means for NOx reduction (SCR) will not be required.
Plant Operation
The MPP will be operated on a 24-hour, 7 days / week basis with no planned shut
downs. Since there is one CTG stand-by unit, there is no need to reduce the plant
50
capacity for planned maintenance. If the HRSG or steam turbine needs to be taken off
line for repairs or maintenance, the following operations procedures will be
implemented:
The two CTG may be run at full capacity generating a total of 85 MW net. Taking
into account that the gross plant output includes the assumed power contingency and
parasitic power demand of the steam plant (please refer to III. Project Specifications,
Subsection A. Requirement Specifications), this output is sufficient to supply 100%
power demand of the customers.
In a highly unlikely situation, when two CTGs and steam turbine are out of
commission one CTG will supply 42 MW, all of the generated power will be sent to
the Donlin Mine and the City of Bethel will start up their stand-by diesel generator.
Heat for the district heating system will be supplied either from the HRSG with
steam by-pass to the DH system, or from the stand-by boiler if the HRSG is also out
of commission.
2. Main Concerns
a. Power Supply Interruptions
The Power Plant will produce electric power to be supplied to the City of
Bethel (9.3 MWe), Donlin Mine (70 MWe + 5 MWe transmission loss) and
villages, and thermal energy to be supplied to Bethel and the villages.
Interruption of power and heat supply may be harmful to both the residents
and the mine operations. The related main concern is downstream of the
process (supplying the customers).
b. Ground Stability
The plant will be built in the Kuskokwim delta where the ground is unstable
permafrost with top layer being siltous material. Localized damage to the
permafrost caused by heating and unnecessary penetrations may result in
extensive losses of foundation stability and permanent damage to the plant.
c. Fuel Supply
As in any combustion power plant, fuel supply is critical for uninterrupted
operation. This issue is described in full in Section V. Possible vulnerabilities
are:
51
Late start of fuel supply season due to navigating conditions on the
Kuskokwim River
Shortage of fuel on the market due to international conditions.
Inadequate fuel quality
Late start of the navigational season due to weather conditions may result in
disruptions of power generation near the end of May and into June. Shortage
of fuel on the market will also be most visible in May and the following
months. Inadequate fuel quality may result in increased fuel consumption
(due to lower heating value), which in turn will result in faster depletion of
the fuel stored in the tank farm.
d. Instrumentation and controls are extremely important to reliable
operation of the system. The issue is flagged here to raise the
awareness of the engineer during the design and system supplier
selection process.
e. Plant Operations Management and Control System (DCS)
Even the smallest errors in process design including the distributed control
system and in operating and maintenance procedures may result in extensive
reduction of the system reliability and availability.
f. Other Concerns
Other concerns include factors whose impact on the plant reliability is
presently perceived to be minimal yet in certain conditions could be
detrimental to the availability. Included here are:
Make-up water supply and treatment; interruption of make-up water
supply for a period longer than 48 hours will require shutting down
the HRSG and, as a consequence, will eliminate power generation in
the steam cycle.
Excessive snowfall would limit access to the equipment modules.
The largest snow precipitation values are in the range of 3 to 5 feet
over the winter period. Larger snowfalls, especially such that happen
in a short time span may cause significant operating and maintenance
problems.
Winds. The Bethel area has a very high proportion of strong winds.
The Pressure Vessel design Code requires that structures be designed
for winds up to 110 miles per hour.
Plant lighting and grounding
Fire prevention
52
3. Estimation of Availability of Equipment and Systems; Addressing the
Concerns.
In this study the main concern is the Reliability(R) and the Availability (A) of the
entire power plant, not just single equipment items or even systems.
a. Power Supply Interruptions are the results of possible operating
problems. As described above, the plant layout provides for various
arrangement of equipment that result in high reliability. At normal
operations and properly conducted planned maintenance the system
will achieve a reliability factor approximating 100%. The main
processing equipment – combustion turbines or diesel engines, all
with generators, exhibit reliabilities in the range of 99.0% to 99.8%
(see Attachment Reliability/Availability of GE LM6000 & Alstom
GTX100 turbines). The plant has stand-by, redundant prime movers
to eliminate any uncertainty of their operation.
In light of this, the Availability of the prime movers, including
generators can be assumed as 100%. The Reliability of the prime
moving system with redundant equipment, whose time from start to
full capacity does not exceed two minutes due to “hot stand-by”, can
also be assumed as 100%. The percentages are not for single
equipments but for the entire prime power generation system.
Other process systems, the HRSG and the steam turbine generator
have also very high R/A factors; however, as described above, their
failure do not impact the overall plant R and A.
b. Ground Stability
In predicting the ground stability the most important step is selection of
engineering and construction contractors with extensive and recent
experience, excellent track record with high caliber staff of professional
engineers and managers. Based on the predictions, the same team will design
and build the foundations for the plant. Properly designed foundations should
have a reliability and availability of 100%.
c. Fuel Supply
To prevent any process interruptions caused by fuel supply problems, some
important measures will be undertaken, such as:
Enter into fuel supply agreements with a reputable company.
53
Acquire own fuel barges and tugs, which would be dedicated to
bringing fuel to the plant.
With all measures undertaken to assure fuel supply, the Reliability and
Availability values are proposed to be assumed 100%. This does not include
the factor relating to the situation on the international market. Taking into
account that there is fuel obtained from local Alaska resources, this factor
may impact only the cost of the fuel.
d. Instrumentation and Controls and Plant Operations Management and
Control.
The Reliability and Availability of the Plant due to these factors will be
controlled by high quality engineering of the process and the control system,
including where required sufficient redundancy, as well as procuring the
equipment from the most reliable suppliers (ABB, Honeywell, Allan-
Bradley, Emerson).
It is proposed to assume the R and A factors as 100%.
e. Other factors
Taking into account all auxiliary systems having impact on the Reliability
and Availability of the plant and built in redundancy, it is proposed to assume
the R and A factors as 100%. Some of the redundancies include:
Doubled water treatment and preparation system (100% redundancy)
Connection of all modules with covered passages
Fire alarming and fighting systems as well as stringent implementation of
fire prevention means
E. Estimation of Plant Availability and Power Supply Reliability
The plant consists of several in-line (series) and parallel systems.
In-line: fuel supply Æ storage Æ delivery to prime movers Æ combustion in
prime movers Æ power generation Æ substation (transformer and
breakers) Æ supply to clients.
54
Parallel: 3 CTG lines; 1 STG line (HRSG + STG)
Auxiliary system.
In practice, all systems of the Power Plant operate in parallel, which means that for each
important system, sub-system or device there is a back-up system, sub-system or device. The
availability of the plant will therefore be equal to the availability of the weakest point in the
system.
In line system reliability
Fuel supply to battery limits (tanks) 100%
Fuel supply from battery limits to Prime Movers 100%
Process (PM + generators + substation) 99.4%
Ground stability 100%
All other factors combined 100%
Total line reliability = 100% x 100% x 99.4% x 100% x 100% = 99.4%
Forced Outage Rate (F.O.R.) = 1-0.994 = .006
Hours per year unavailable to serve load = 8760*.006 = 52.56 hr/yr
The plant availability will be reduced by planned maintenance of systems impacting the
output of the entire plant. Since these systems include sufficient redundancy for maintenance
work, it could be assumed that the
Power Plant Availability = Power Plant Reliability = 99.4%

Remarks:
Performance information relating to MAN B&W had been calculated and needs to be
confirmed with MAN
Supply shortage from combustion turbines can be alleviated by duct firing
Power supply shortage from Diesel engines can be alleviated by temporary exceeding design
capacity
At 80% power demand it may be satisfied with 4 diesel engines
The diesel plant exhaust heat can be utilized either for direct heating of the DH medium or for
combined power and heat generation; the first option renders higher efficiency.

TIC - The Industrial Company (TIC) (subsidiary of TIC Holdings, Inc.) is a management owned,
general heavy industrial contractor. Established in 1974 and headquartered in Steamboat Springs,
Colorado, the TIC family of companies has rapidly become one of the leading industrial
contractors in the world.
nc's dramatic success story had a modest beginning. Initially involved in municipal and light
commercial work, TIC's "Can Do" attitude quickly caught the attention of the local coal
industry. TIC's entrance into the industrial construction market began with the erection of the
heavy equipment utilized for the mines in the area; draglines, shovels, etc. Our reputation within
the mining industry grew and nc took on larger and more complex projects for the coal
producers and process facilities for the uranium producers in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and
Wyoming. In 1977 TIC formed TIC - The Industrial Company Wyoming, Inc., establishing a
permanent presence in the heart of the coal and uranium market. Additionally, nc began
diversifying into the oil, gas and chemical market through the oil shale boom in northwest
Colorado and the few refineries in the region.
In the early 1980's, TIC took a significant leap forward securing two major projects for
molybdenum producers, one in Tonopah, Nevada and the other in the central mountains of Idaho
near Challis. The successful completion of all disciplines: civil, structural, mechanical, piping
and electrical/instrumentation enabled TIC to take on the next major opportunity, the largest
open shop project in California at that time, the Homestake McLaughlin Project. These projects
set the stage for TIC's involvement in the most prolific gold boom in this country's history -
The Carlin Trend in Nevada.
During the late 1980's nc noticed a decrease in mining related activity and quickly realized that
we must look at alternative markets for continued growth. Although in its infancy, the
independent power market offered TIC some opportunities for diversification. TIC successfully
entered the power industry by completing several geothennal and coal-fired, CFB, facilities in
California. Since then, TIC has consistently been ranked among the top 10 contractors involved
in power generation installations, including: simple and combined cycle gas turbine projects,
cogeneration, coal-fired facilities as well as all types of renewable energy.
As we expanded into other markets so did our geographical presence, establishing a foothold into
the Southeast market through marine capabilities in Savannah, Georgia and later a significant
industrial presence out of Atlanta, Georgia. Permanent operations were also established in
California and the Northwest, accepting opportunities offered by the pulp and paper, refining,
food and beverage as well as maintenance work. In 1993 nc Holdings, Inc. acquired Western
Summit Constructors, Inc. (WSCI) as a wholly owned subsidiary. WSCI is a nationally
recognized contractor involved in water and wastewater treatment facilities. In 1994 TIC
International, Inc. was also formed as a subsidiary, having completed projects worldwide.
Through this subsidiary are also the companies of nc Canada and MexnCa, located in
Edmonton, Alberta and Mexico City, Mexico respectively. Additionally, TIC established a Gulf
Coast Region headquartered in Houston, Texas, a Pipeline Division, ERS Constructors, in
Sedalia, Colorado, a Northeast Region in Stonington, Connecticut, and a Great Lakes Region in
Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Today, we continue to position ourselves toward the future, constantly looking for growth
opportunities and never losing sight of what has made this company so successful- our Core
Values: Powered by People, Operations Driven, Be The Best, Integrity, and Can Do Attitude.
Today, the TIC companies are ranked 32nd in revenues and 37th in new contract awards by
Engineering News Record (ENR) with 2002 revenues of $1.221 billion and contract awards of
$1.296 billion. Additionally, ENR classified the industrial construction market and has listed us
among the top contractors in fifteen of the leading industries. They include:

Industrial Company.
TIC Holdings Inc. is a management owned, general heavy industrial contractor headquartered in
Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Established in 1974, TIC has rapidly become one of the leading
industrial const11lction companies in the country with an excellent reputation as a general contractor
involved in all phases of const11lction. TIC is one of the largest members of the Associated Builders
and Contractors, Inc. (ABC), an association of merit shop contractors and a major contributor to the
National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER).
Today, the TIC companies are ranked 65th in revenues and 55th in new contract awards by
Engineering News Record (ENR) with 1997 revenues of $421 million and contract awards of $5 50
million. Additionally, ENR has further classified the industrial construction market and has listed
TIC among the Top 20 contractors in nine of the leading industries. They include:
1st in Non-Ferrous Mining related construction
2nd in overall Mining related construction
4th in Steel Mill construction
5th in Sewage Treatment Plant construction (Western Summit Constructors, Inc
8th in Cogeneration Power Plant construction

In 1997 Forbes Magazine also ranked TIC among the largest privately held companies in the United
States.
TIC Holdings Inc. conducts business through its wholly owned companies: nc - The Industrial
Company and Western Summit Constructors, Inc. (WSCI). WSCI is headquartered in Denver,
Colorado and focuses primarily on water and waste water treatment construction projects in various
areas of the country. TIC - The Industrial Company is the largest of the two companies and provides
industrial construction services to a diverse client base across the U.S. through seven regional
operations: Rocky Mountain, Southwest, Western, Northwest, North Central, Gulf Coast and
Southeast. Additionally, TIC owns and operates two subsidiaries, TIC -International, Inc. and
nc - Wyoming, Inc. TIC - International, Inc. (TICI) was established in 1993 to expand our
construction capabilities into the international marketplace. This led to the company's first major
international project, a 120 Mw geothermal power plant on the Island ofLeyte in the Philippines.
Since then, TIC has completed several projects in other countries of the world TIC's primary focus
relative to its international plan is centered around power generation, mining and petrochemical
industries in the developing countries of Latin America, Southeast Asia and the Commonwealth of
Independent States. TIC - Wyoming, Inc. was established in 1977 and is headquartered in Casper,
Wyoming. This wholly owned subsidiary provides identical industrial construction services as nc
focusing predominantly on the North Central region of the United States.
As illustrated above, TIC is a highly diversified industrial contractor, involved in all major industrial
markets such as: Power, Mining, Oil, Gas, Chemicals, Pulp and Paper, food and beverage and other
related industries. The company typically self-perfomlS all major disciplines including civil,
structural steel erection, heavy mechanical equipment installation, process piping as well as
electrical, instrumentation and controls. TIC averages 7-8 million manhours annually and conducts
business through a variety of contractual methods including full Tumkey/EPC, Design-Build,
traditional general construction or through discipline packages. Regardless of any contractual
relationship, TIC approaches each of its projects as a partnered relationship and is a film believer in
the benefits of the Partnering process. This is not a contractual relationship but a philosophical
approach taken by all project shareholders for open communication, team building and a
commitment to achieving project goals.

Bethel- 92 MW Modular Combined Cycle Power Plant
Summary Description of the GTXIOO Plant
The plant is a 2-on-1 non-reheat combined-cycle power plant with a standby GTX100
CT designed to generate approximately 92 MW gross when 2 CT's are operating at
800/0 load. The plant nominal capacity is 116 MW of net electrical power with two
CT's and HRSG operating at 1000/0 load.
The plant configuration consists of two Alstom GTXlOO combustion turbine-
generators, one dual-pressure, fired, heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), and one
induction/condensing steam turbine-generator. A standby GTXlOO will be provided
as "standby ready". The design fuel is #2 fuel oil. All major components are
modularized to the maximum extent practical for quick erection and commissioning
while still being transportable.
The combustion turbines (CTs) are Alstom Power model GTXlOO firing on liquid
fuel. Each CT is connected to a generator driven by the turbine's shaft through a gear
reducer. Exhaust gas from each CT passes through a diverter valve system in simple
cycle mode and when in combined cycle it passes through an HRSG where the hot
gas, which otherwise would be discharged to the atmosphere as waste, is used as heat
input for steam generation.
The HRSG produces steam at two pressure and temperature conditions - 1100
psia/9S0°F and 87 psia/386°F. The steam produced is routed to a steam turbine
generator. The high-pressure steam supplies the HP turbine, and the intermediate-
pressure steam supplies the LP turbine. The HRSG also has a supplementary liquid
fuel fired duct section. The HRSG is connected to all 3 CT's and is designed to
operate utilizing the exhaust energy from any 2 of the 3 GTXl00's.
The Alstom GTXlOO Combined Cycle Power Plant proposed for the Bethel Project is
a unique configuration with 3 crs connected to one HRSG. Alstom's advanced
high-efficiency combustion nIrbine, the GTXlOO, currently produced in ALSTOM's
facilities in Finspong, Sweden.
The 2-on-l plant configuration has been designed by Alstom for the application of the
GTXlOO in a high-efficiency, high-availability base load and intermediate load plant
for the North American utility and IPP market. The plant will provide power reliably
and efficiently at 60Hz. The GTXlOO turbine and plant configuration have a number
of characteristics that are particularly well suited to efficient and reliable service in
this market:. The GTXlOO is an advanced combustion turbine that incorporates recent
developments in turbine technology.
Page 2
The GTXIOO combined-cycle plant, with recent developments in turbine,
HRSG, and control systems development, is a notable addition to its market,
because it offers a highly evolved and exceptionally efficient plant in its size
range. (The nominal capacity of a GTXlOO in simple cycle is 43 MW.)
The 2-on-1 combined-cycle configuration - in which two combustion turbines
drive generators independently and provide HP and LP steam generated with
exhaust heat to drive a steam turbine-generator - is a familiar utility-scale plant
configuration. The 2-on-1 combined-cycle plant strikes a typically profitable
balance among a number of sometimes competing objectives: convenience of
construction, equipment outlays, optimal plant efficiency, and flexibility of
operations.
The Plant is designed with the flexibility to operate in 3 possible modes.
Nonnal: 2 GTX100 @ 800/0 load + HRSG + Steam Turbine to achieve a
nominal 92 MW output with a redundant GTX100 with net heat rates in the
range of7100 BTU/kW LHV (site conditions at 60 F).
Maximum power: 2 GTX100 @ 100% load + HRSG + Steam Turbine to
achieve a nominal 116 MW output with a redundant GTXlOO with net heat rates
in the range of 6900 BTU/kW LHV (site conditions at 60 F).
Emergency: When the steam turbine is unavailable 1, 2, or 3 GTXIOO's may
operate in simple cycle to achieve up to a nominal 124 MW output
The Plant DCS System
The GTXlOO and steam turbine is controlled through an advanced distributed control
system (DCS) consisting of an ABB Advant OCS equipment package. The Advant
system is designed to provide automated start-up and shutdown of the two GTs and
the ST from the control room. The DCS provides supervisory oversight, monitoring,
and set point regulation for local controls devices. This supervisory function allows
operation of major plant processes and equipment from the local control room via the
DCS. (processing units function independently, however, the exchange of signals
across the communications network for controls purposes is avoided wherever
possible.)

General
The GTXlOO has been developed to meet increasing customer demands for highly
reliable, clean and efficient power generation equipment Other Customer values, such as
Low Life Cycle Cost, plant compactness and short delivery time, have also been
addressed.
Designed for robust simplicity
Reliability is a key customer requirement in this market segment Customers are
extremely dependent on the smooth and uninterrupted supply of power and heat for their
businesses. In order to ensure reliability in the GTXlOO, its design philosophy has been
based upon simplicity, robustness and the use of proven technology.
The GTXlOO has a typical ALSTOM frame design with a minimum number of parts in a
single-shaft arrangement The compressor rotor and the three-stage bolted turbine module
form a single shaft, which rests in two standard hydrodynamic bearings of the tilting pad
type. This is a commonly used configuration for ALSTOM's larger gas turbines. The
generator is driven from the cold end of the gas turbine which allows for a simple and
efficient exhaust arrangement Modularization, few parts, long component life and easy
inspection ensure long time between overhauls and low maintenance costs.

Design particulars
Compressor section
The compressor is a scaled version from ALSTOM's latest compressor aerodynamic
design. It bas 15 stages and uses Controlled Diffilsion Airfoils (CDA) for high efficiency.
The first three stages have variable geometry. To minimi~e leakage over the blade tips,
abradable seals are applied to stages 4-15. The vane carrier of the high-pressure section,
stages 11 to 15, where the blades are shortest, is made from a low-expansion material that
helps keep clearances to a minimum.
The compressor rotor is built up from discs which are welded together into a robust unit
using Electron Beam Welding (EBW), a technology used for many years in the GT10
compressor rotor and proven to be a design giving minimmn vibrations and very reliable
in operation.
Cooling air for the hot sections of the nIrbine is extracted from the compressor at stages
3,5,8, 10 and 15.
Combustor section
The combustor is of the annular type and is made ftom welded sheet metal. The inner
surface of the combustor has a thermal barrier coating which reduces the level of heat
transfer and extends the life of the combustor. This design concept has been used for
many years in ALSTOM gas turbines.
Compliance with strict environmental regulations is already required on many markets
and the awareness of environmental issues is spreading to new regions. ALSTOM has
recognized the strategic importance of environmental issues and has taken a lead in the
control of gas turbine emissions. In 1988, ALSTOM introduced the first so-called EV
burner on the market To date, the total accumulated experience with this dry, low-
emission (DLE) technology amounts to more d1an 3 million operating hours (as per
March 2001), including numerous installations in the GTI0.
With the GTXl00, ALSTOM has taken another step in lowering emissions. The
combustor has 30 burners of the new Advanced EV (AEV) design developed by
ALSTOM. The AEV burner technology, as applied to the GTXI00, has NOx and CO
emissions capabilities below 15 ppm (15% Ov on natural gas and below 42 ppm (15%
Ov on liqmd fuel without the need for water or steam injection. Dual-fuel dry low
emission capability is a built-in feature.
Turbine section
The three-stage turbine is built as one module for ease of maintenance and bolted to the
stub shaft of the compressor. It has an advanced aerodynamic design with a fully 3D-
analysed flow path with cylindrical sections over the first, second and third stage blades.
The airfoils of first and second stage vanes and blades are cooled, using the technology
found in other ALSTOM gas turbines. The first blade is made of single-crystai material
to ensure durability and long life. The turbine stator flanges are cooled by compressor air
to reduce clearances and improve efficiency.
The cold-end drive arrangement allows an optimized axial diffuser section to be fitted for
better performance. Particular care has been taken in the design of the diffuser

connection to the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) to min1mise losses in combined
cycle and cogeneration applications.
Speed Reduction Gear
The gas tw"bine is connected to the generator via a speed reduction gear of the double
helix parallel type, which reduces the 6600-rpm of the turbine shaft down to a generator
speed of 1500/1800 rpm. The variable speed electric starter motor is also connected to
the speed reduction gear, via a seIf-synchronising and switcmng (SSS) clutch and a
separate starting gear.
Validation of design
The first GTX1OO was ordered in 1998 and has been in commercial operation since 1999.
A number of units have been ordered by customers around the world and are in different
stages of the delivery process, i.e. manufacturing in the workshops to commercial
operation. Please see Reference List for details.
The first unit was delivered to Helsingborg in Sweden and has been used for prototype
tests. The tests have included all aspects and components of the gas turbine core engine
as well as the auxiliaries, including performance and emission measurements.
It has been necessary to modify some components as a result of the prototype tests but
the overall result is very positive. All necessary modifications have been introduced and
verified in the first engines. The gas turbines in the manufacturing programme will
continuously be updated to the latest design.
The tests made on the prototype have shown that the design and performance are living
up to the high expectations outlined in the original engine specification.
Auxiliary systems
Lubrication
Since the two gas turbine bearings of the tilting pad type use mineral oil, a common lube
oil system can be used for the gas turbine, speed reduction gear and generator. Oil
pressure is supplied by 3 x 50% AC-driven pumps (2 operating/l stand-by), which are
controlled by Static Frequency Converters (SFC's). The pumps will increase their
capacity by over 50% in the event of lube oil pressure decrease, avoiding pressure "dips"
at pump change.
Fuel systems
The GTXlOO is capable of operation on a range of gaseous and liquid fuels. Two fuel
systems are available, for gaseous and liquid fuels, and in dual-fuel operation automatic
switchover between the fuels is possible, in any direction, at full and part load.
The GTXlOO is equipped for operation on gas fuel as standard but can, on request, be
offered for operation on liquid fuel.

Control system flow chart
The GTXlOO control system is based on the Advant system and has four controllers, one
of the AC400- and three of the AClOO-series. The AC400-series controller is used for
sequencing, interlocks, open loop control and as computer interface to the operator
station.
One of the AClOO-series controller is used as a remote I/O for the turbine skid signals
and as the first channel in the two-cbannel safety system. The second is used for closed
loop control for fuel valve positioning and as the second channel in the two-channel
safety system. The third is a closed loop control for the generator voltage (A VR).
The man-machine interface comprises an Advant SOO-series OperatorStation with a full
graphic color monitor.
The Advant control system may also communicate with external systems via standard
protocols.

The GTXlOO installation meets stringent requirements for compactness, short erection
and commissioning times and ease of maintenance. The gas turbine is skid-mounted,
with the auxiliaries grouped in a self-contained module to one side of the main skid. The
footprint is only 27x7m / 89x23ft.
The layout is basically the same for all applications, whether simple or combined cycle,
indoor or outdoor installation.
The gas turbine skid is built of steel beams and carries the gas turbine, speed reduction
gear and starter motor. It rests on a concrete foundation together with the generator and
the foundation may be fitted with spring mounts if necessary. The main and auxiliary
skids are covered by a weatherproof enclosure extending from the gear to the gas turbine
exhaust.
The air intake and exhaust stack are supported by separate external beam StIUctures. A
two-stage disposable air filter is supplied as standard, but other options are also available,
depending on site requirements.
Electrical and control equipment may either be installed in the customer's control room
or in a separate enclosure containing an auxiliary power room, a battery room and a
control room, see a typical example above.

Generator
The gas turbine includes a 4-pole generator of type ABB GBA 1250, driven from the
cold end of the gas turbine via the parallel speed reduction gear. It is of simple and
rugged design with a salient pole rotor with solid pole plates and a rotating brushless
exciter. The GBA-generator design has been well proven in numerous installations with
the GTIO.
The generator is installed outside the main enclosure.
Combined cycle and cogeneration applications
In a combined cycle the GTXlOO can be arranged together with a heat recovery steam
generation (HRSG) unit utilising the heat in die exhaust gases. A dual-pressme HRSG
feeds a single-cylinder steam turbine. This configuration has been well proven in many
GTIO combined cycle plants and offers a compact solution with a small footprint
For greater power, two GTXlOO units, each with its own HRSG, may be arranged to feed
one common steam turbine.
The GTXlOO is also an excellent alternative for cogeneration applications, i.e. when only
steam production is required. Depending on customer requirement either one or two
pressure level HRSG's are possible.
Erection and commissioning
In order to reduce erection time at site, the GTX100 comes in modules which have been
assembled and tested in the workshop prior to shipment Most of the piping and cabling
work has also been carried out on the shop floor to minirnise the time required for this at
site.
The gas turbine, gear and starter motor mounted on the main base frame make up the
biggest shipping module.
Starting and operation
The GTX100 is started by means of an electric starter motor connected to the speed
reduction gear. The compressor has two bleed valves at stages 5 and 10, which are open
at the beginning of the starting procedure and close during the start-up sequence. The
starting sequence takes approximately 13 minutes, plus time for ventilation, which varies
according to the installation.
During operation, the power output is controlled by manipulating the variable guide
vanes (VGV's) and the firing temperature. Initially, the power output is reduced by
closing the VGV's until the exhaust temperature reaches 600°C /11 12°F. Further power
output reduction is achieved by reducing the firing temperature and closing the VGV's
while maintaining the exhaust temperature at 600°C / 11 12°F. When the V GV' s are set
to their minimum positions, the power output can be reduced further by lowering the
firing temperature. This operation principle gives high part load efficiency.
The firing temperature and VGV's are also used to control power output at high ambient
temperatures.

GTX100 . GENERAL & COMMERCIAL
Introduction
Perfonnance
In order to achieve a high level of performance, the gas turbine designer has to pay due
attention to the intended operating cycle.
In particular, the advanced aerodynamic design, the use of abradable seals and low-
expansion materials in the compressor section, as well as feamres such as turbine stator
clearance control and the axial diffuser, contnoute to the high level of efficiency.
Low life-cycle cost
Two key elements of the life-cycle cost are the costs of fuel and maintenance. They have
therefore been considered at the design stage of the GTXIOO to achieve low costs for the
operator without sacrificing basic reliability and availability.
The basic robustness and simplicity of the GTXlOO and an optimised maintenance
schedule mean that the maintenance cost is very competitive.
Designed for ease of maintenance
The GTXlOO has a number offeamres that simplify maintenance and inspection. One
side of the gas turbine has been kept "clean", avoiding unnecessary piping, cabling and
connections to allow for easy inspection.
Borescope ports are available on the clean side for inspection of compressor stages. At
the front of the inlet chamber, I manhole with transparent and reinforced polycarbonate
window provides for easy inspection of the compressor inlet bellmouth.
The compressor casing is vertically split in the longitudinal direction, which allows half
of it to be removed for easy access to the rotor and stator parts. The rotor centerline is
1.5m / 5ft above the floor, making inspections very convenient
The burner section design allows each of the 30 AEV burners to be removed individually
without dismantling the machine. It also provides for easy inspection of the combustion
chamber.
An overhead crane is installed inside the gas turbine enclosure to facilitate maintenance
and enough space is available to allow operating personnel to walk around the machine.
For flexibility, the gas turbine can be removed from both sides of the installation. The
walls of the enclosure may also be removed easily, if required.

Attn: Ratal Berezowski - Technical Director
April 3, 2003
Subject: Crooked Creek Diesel Power Plant, Alaska
Dear Sir 1
In response to your recent request for a 70 MWe power plant and heat recovery system,
we now have pleasure in attaching hereto our budgetary proposal. This includes both
pricing and technical information on the equipment proposed.
The engine we are offering is the MAN B&W Diesel, 18V48/60 that would be capable of
producing 18,900 kWb continuously when operating at 514 r.p.m. Coupled to the
engine would be an alternator which, when wound for a 13.8 kV, 3 phase, 60Hz supply,
would be capable of delivering 18,427 kWe, 23,033 kVA at 0.8PF. The proposed power
scheme compiles of 4 units in operation, 1 unit in hot standby & 1 unit in cold standby.
MAN B&W Diesel offers a complete range of appropriate generating systems. Our four-
stroke engines are available for power plants with engine outputs of up to 23,850 kW.
The Diesel engine provides the highest thermal efficiency and permits the most
economical conversion of primary energy into electricity. The specific fuel consumption
of the engine is 176 g/kWh at ISO conditions. Regarding emission, the Diesel engine
produces NOx emissions in a concentration of 1920 mg/Nm3 at 15% 02 which equals
more or less 940 ppm.
Power plants equipped with modem MAN B&W four-stroke Diesel engines offer the
following principal advantages:
- Low capital investment
- Easy and cost effective installation
- High thermal efficiency
- Capability to bum arctic fuel oil
- High reliability

Easy to extend
High flexibility to meet load demand
Low maintenance requirements
MAN B&W Diesel is a leader in the field of power generation with over 10,000 MWof
installed capacity worldwide. Our Canadian organization, which has been in operation
for over 45 years, has built more than 80 diesel power projects. More than 15 of these
are mining companies, and most of them located near the Arctic, like the Kennecott -
Greens Creek Mine in Alaska. This demonstrates we have vast experience in sub-zero
temperature design aspect & equipment application.
For your information, we are ISO 9001 registered on quality assurance, and engaged in
power design, application engineering, project management and after-sales technical
service & support.
When reviewing our budgetary offer, kindly consider the following information about the
relevant design, scope and services:
1. The engines will be transported completely assembled as shown in the transport
drawing No.4 (engine assembled and placed on the frame) in PART 7 of this
proposal. At Alaska harbour (e.g. Goodnews Bay) all the sets will be unloaded by
the shipping crane in order to move them on a lowbed trailer onto a suitable barge
and transport them to the site. Dismantling and re-assembling of the engines and I or
placing the engine(s) onto the steel foundation frame(s) in the Alaska harbour or
even at site are not included at this stage.
2. Six diesel fuel oil storage tanks with a capacity of approx. 18,000 m3 each are
provided to fulfil the storage capacity of 27 million gallons requested in this proposal.
The tank farm for the diesel fuel oil has a size of 177 x 126 m2, added by a size of 20
x 16 m2 for the lube oil storage tank (387 m3) and two sludge tanks (each 10 m3). We
assume, that the diesel fuel oil will be transported in the summer time to the site by
suitable ships. The unloading dock at Kuskokwin River, and all facilities for fuel and
lube oil is presently not included in the quoted scope.
3. With regards to the several diesel fuel oil specifications supplied and the estimated
heat supply in hot water requested in the RFO, we concluded that no exhaust gas
boiler is necessary (i.e. all the heat can be supplied by the waste-heat of engine
cooling water). For safety reasons a small auxiliary boiler is included. Heating piping
and accessories for heating purposes outside the power plant, such as central
heating of Crooked Creek housing and public buildings is not included.
. We assume the power plant is feeding its electricity into the grid as in running in
parallel to the grid. Island operation is not assumed.
. The NOx-reduction plant is not included in this offer at this stage. As discussed
previously, the SCR catalyst can convert the NOx to a value below 25ppm for 19,000
operation hours, then the first row of the three ceramic rows has to be exchanged to
4

.~~:~~(=~=\
reach again the conversion figure. The urea consumption of a 40% solution is 434.5
I/h at 100% load, for pure urea the amount is 193.3 at full load. The budget price of
the combined SCR and oxidation catalyst is EUR 667,000 per engine, delivery in
2003 CIF Alaska. The price does not include urea tanks for storage or mixing,
installation, piping and an air compressor.
As for the reduction of the NOx emissions with water emulsion we identified one
company in Germany producing the additive "Span 80" (so called
Sorbitanmonooleat). The price is approx. $3.5 US/kg, and approximately 0.5 to 1 %
is required for the fuel-water emulsion as an additive, a mixing device has to be
installed.
Should you find a requirement for any further information, or clarification of this proposal,
please do not hesitate to let us know.

All our submitted documents form an integral part of our quotation.
Variations in quantities or technical modifications of the quoted
extent may result in adjustments of price and delivery time.
Terms of
payment
We have calculated our price on the assumption that payment
shall be effected out of an irrevocable letter of credit, free of
charge to us, confirmed by a German bank acceptable to us. The
price is payable as follows:
- 20 % down payment after placement of the order
- 80 % against usual pro-rata shipping documents, latest
however 30 days after notification of readiness for despatch,
in case shipment is delayed or becomes impossible for
reasons beyond our control.
The letter of credit is to be established in our favour immediately
after signing the contract for the full contract amount minus down
payment and must allow part shipments and the shipment on deck
of IMDG goods (= dangerous goods) which, as a rule, are
contained in our deliveries (for example sealing compound,
paints). Shipment of such goods below deck is not permitted by
the Seafreight Ordinance.
We are quite prepared to discuss alternative payment conditions.
Warranty The period of warranty shall be 1 year after the equipment is put
into operation. In any case, it shall terminate 18 months after
delivery FOB or after notification of readiness for shipment has
been given.
Delivery time MAN B&W Diesel is presently able to offer the following delivery
schedule:
6 engines + 6 alternators: approx. 9 months
Diesel auxiliaries: approx. 8 months
Control panels: approx. 6 - 8 months

The engine rating complies to ISO 3046-1:2002. The overload
matter is ruled in ISO 8528-1: 1993, i.e. for engines for electrical
power generation, the engine will be blocked at 110 % load of the
MCR whereas the 10 % will only be used for short periods for re-
covery and prevention of a frequency drop in case of application.
It is necessary to provide additional engine power for governing
purposes only. This additional engine power shall not be used for
the supply of electrical consumers.
The above-mentioned mechanical output can be achieved up to
36 °C ambient temperature. At higher ambient temperatures, the
engine output will automatically be reduced.
Depending on the power plant concept, approx. 4-5 % of the elec-
trical power output has to be considered internally for auxiliaries.
Based on this assumption the net output of the plant is at least 70
MW during the operation of 4 engines at full load.

De., Ratal,
We are pleased to provide budgetary pricing and performance information for Equipment
and Services for a plamed diesel fue4ed power plant at 8 site in Donlin, AK. The attached
scope of supply listing is for a plant using 5 X 18V46 geneet& (N+1 configuration). The
16V46 has the ~t fuel consumption of all Wartsi'- engines in 8 stmple cycle
arrangement. Howev«, this arrangement will not provide your minimum net power
requirement of. 70 MW with 04 unitt. running. Thefefore, we have atso included a table
below which summarizes power output and estimated net heat rate for simple cycle
arrangements using 5 X 18V46. 10 X 18V32, and for a combined cycle arrangement
adding a steam turbine generator to either the 5 X 18V46 or 10 X 18V32 engine power
plant. Note that total plant outputs are shown with 1 genset not Nnning (N+1).

Fuel Diesel
Genset emissions for the 18V46 genset measured at generator terminals:
-fuel 8ulfur a88umed to be 0.5% by mass
We estimate an 80% reduction efficiency will be required of the OCR system to reduce
NOx emissions to "comfortably" under 450 mg/Nm3. which is what Red Dog indicated to us
as their target NOx level. RedUdion of up to 90% Is possIble. Approximately 85 - 90%
reduction efficiency will be required of the Oxidation catatyst to redU(E CO emissions to
100 tons per year. This is accounted for in our budgetary pricing for the SCRlOxi catalyst
sy&tem.
H~ f8Covery capability;
Any of the proposed ~ant configuration$ have the capability to provide substantially more
hot water than the amounts for the heating systems described in your email request. As an
example. 4 X 18V46 gensets can produce over 58 MMBTU/hr of 170F hot water uSing the
engine jacket water heat circuit a~ne. The combined cycle configuration may make the
molt sense here due to itS superior heat rate and its ability to provide the hot water as a
"free- by-product of the steam turbine condenser system.
Pricing:
The 8ttached Scope of Supply listing is for a simpte cycle 5 X 18V46 plant built by Wartsila
The tabte below summarizes our budgetary equipment and services pricing for the various
power plant configurations and our estimated EPC pricing. The EPC PliCing is tor
Indicative purPOSM onty, and reftects current costs for a midW88t USA rural site with
non-union labor. Most of the risk and cost unknowns for this project would have to do wtth
the civil works. The foundations for Wan$\)a p\ants are -slab on grade- type cons.\ructioo,
~hout a basement. It the excavatiOn costs are reasonable and if the cost of concrete i8
reasoMble, the cost to conatNct the plant .houtd not be greatly beyond typicat costs. if
you have any figures tor these parameters we can adjust our pridng accordtngly. The
same comment applies to labor costs.

Dear Mr. Berezowski,
Please accept our excuses for the delay of several days. We tried our best 10 be ready with
the proposal before April 7, but needed some more time.
The present proposal is not a conStant. Any issue can be discussed and that would be our
pleasure and main task to comply ~ith the requirements of the Client.
Looking forward to recei ve your respond soon and further instructions.

INTERENERGOS'ERV1CE has considered the documents tclated to working out the feasibility
study of the power supply project, installation of electric devices. and costs concerned with
Crooked Creek power plan! in Alaska. In this connectjon our company presen1s the following
proposals:
¥OR~ SCOPE ~F ~~PL~. ~~ -~~~~~~The main equipment includes a diesel low-speed engine manufactW'ed by the MAN BQW Diesel
AlS's license (Germany - Denmark). Power is generated by means of ten diesel generators with
heat Jecovery and aux11iary systems that are required for reliable plant operation. Oencxators of
SGD- 7095-6.3-28 type manufactured by the Elcctrosila plant, Russia, are used. These diesels can
operate using botb heavy oil fuel of up to 700 Cts viscoslt)' at SOOC and up to SOlo of sulfur con~
and diesel fuel OF 2 proposed by the CuStomer. A fuel heating and circulation S}'Stcm is provided
for fuel preparation. The Russian and European manufacturers will deliver the mechanical and
electric equipment in accordance with the requirements of the world standards. The design
activities can be performed either by the Russian designers or by designers that the Customer
proposes. The consttuction and installation works can be performed either by the Gener4l
Conn-ector-the equipment Supplier. or by any other manufacturer as per the Customer request. 10
reduce tem'lS of installation wOTks of the power station the equipment will be delivered in modular
confisuration. If necessary, the Supplier will also render the services of supervisor-engineers that
supervise over installation, start-up, commissioning, testing, and training of the plant operating
personneL A separate conttact can be concluded for after-sales service of the plant for a period of
10 or more years, as per the Customer request.Characteristics of a. single plant diesel unit of llL3SMC-S t)pe are given in the following table:

Note: .) calorific value of liquid fuc142100 kJ/kg (10200 kcal/kg).
Environmental factors:
The main factors that impact upon environment are noise, vibration. and gas exhaust taking into
consideration for power plants with internal combustion engines.
Noise
Noise produced by a power unn is kept 'Within the ~trited norms to a. iIeate! e.xtcn\ due to. the wall
panels of the building and minimum quantity of hatches, air duc1s: and otiter openings in the walls.
An insulation degree of the building depends on local requirements. High requirements are not
presented due to relatively low noise produced by double-contact engines. A standard noise level of
engines IJ.L35MC-S does not exceed 103 dB(A) at a distance of 1 m from a noise source, while it
reaches 110-115 dB(A) for four..contact engines.
VIbrationHigh frequency vibration created by low-speed engines makes a structure noise about 10-20 dB
below that of medium-speed engines. Excitarion sources of engine vibration are of cyclic nature and
determined by rota'ting and forward~moving masses:. l-st external moments (in horizontal and vertical direction);. 2-nd external moments (in vertical direction);. guide force moment of X-type and N-type;. axial oscillation;. torsional oscillation.
Vibration of the plant depends on interaction between the engine and foundation. as well as subsoil
under fO\IDrl~on. Careful research of soil under the plant designed is carried out separately for each
case to obtain the so-called damping effect of the subsoil. The concrete foundatioD of the engine and
generator is designed in such a way that d)'namic factor are compensated, and noise and vibration
levels do not increase the preset vMues.
Emission levels
Due to NOx, SOx. CO, particles and hydrocarbons the diesel engines impact upon environment.
Reiardless of the fact that emission of low-speed engines is significantly lower in comparison with
medium~speed and motor engines. technologies are available to decrease emission that could be used
to meet the highest future requirements if they are provided- The values of gas emission specified in
the table will not be increased for engines of llL35MC-S type at 2.5% sulfur content in the fuel.

INTRODUcrION
This budgetary estimate has been prepared to provide technical and cost information for use in a
Feasibility Study being performed by Precision Energy Services, Inc. (PES). The proposed
project site is Bethel, Alaska.
The project described herein represents a conceptual design and is based on the information
provided by PES proposal request for a 95 MW (gross output) combined cycle power plant and
subsequent discussions with PES personnel. The budgetary estimSite can be refined after
additional information is received regarding the project commercial operating date, site
description, operating mode, load duration characteristics, and complete financial information
necessary to evaluate and detennine the best practical project to suit the intended purpose.
The proposed project consists of three General Electric LM6000 aero-derivative combustion
turbine generators (CTG) configured as follows: for nonnal operation, 2-LM6000 CTG
exhausting into a common unfired heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and a auto-extraction,
condensing steam turbine generator (STG); and for standby service, l-LM6000 CTG exhausting
to a dedicated unfired HRSG integrated to operate with the STG. The proposed configuration
will provide during nonnal operation the required total gross output of 95,000 kW, measured at
the terminals of the generators, while at the same time deliver up to 200 ~TU/hr of thermal
energy from steam extracted from the STG at 200 Psig for District Heating. Note, however, that
the power block is capable of providing 98.7 MW during this winter peak district heating load
(200 ~TU/hr), and 103 MW at Summer time when district heat requirement is less at 130
MMBTU/hr. District heating and plant heating loads will be provided by the Package Boiler
during emergency condition.

OPERATING MODE1.3
During normal operation, two of the LM6000 CTG will be in combined cycle
mode while one of the CTGs is in standby service. The exhaust gas from the two
normally operating CTG will discharge into a common HRSG to generate steam
that is introduced to an auto-extraction, condensing STG where up to 165,000 #/hr
(200 MMBTU/hr) of steam is extracted at 200 Psig for District Heating. When
one of the two active CTGs is taken out of service, the third and standby CTG
with a dedicated and smaller HRSG will be used to maintain full plant electrical
output.
It was assumed that the plant operating permit will allow startup of a CTG using
the bypass stack without an SCR module to reduce Nox emissions. Operations
using the bypass stack will be limited to starting a CTG. All other operations will
have the CTG exhaust pass through the HRSG and SCR, maintaining a 25 ppmvd
Nox emission level.
The power plant will be provided with a Blackstart Diesel Engine Generator and a
package boiler for use during initial startup and testing of the plant, and on the
event that the 2 to 3-CTGs were taken out of service at the same time.
The performance of the plant at nom1al conditions during summer and winter
seasons are depicted in the Heat Balance Diagrams included in Exhibit B. The
proposed project has the following performance characteristics with the 2-
LM6000 CTG at full load condition:
