Power Plant for Cement Plant Overhaul
When the Cement Company of Northern
Nigeria (CCNN), a division of Heidelberg Cement, had scheduled
an overhaul programme at their Sokoto Cement Plant, located in a
remote part of North-West Nigeria, a temporary power
plant was needed to provide a stable power supply for the
overhaul work at the plant as well as provide power to help
increase production capacity.
Temporary Power Plant
Aggreko delivered, installed and operated a 9MW / 6.6kV
temporary power plant, which was synchronised with
the cement plants’ existing medium speed heavy fuel oil power
unit.
A turnkey power plant was supplied comprising
of generators, transformers, fuel
tanks, a control room and ancillary equipment. The equipment
was transported by sea from Dubai, UAE to Port Harcourt in Nigeria,
and then some 1,200 miles inland by road through Abuja to
Sokoto.
In addition to the power plant package, Aggreko
provided full operational and maintenance responsibilities
throughout the duration of the contract.
