Riverside Cogen Project

The nominal 425 MW natural gas fired Riverside Project combined cycle co-generation facility was constructed for Riverside Cogen LLC by BVZ Power Partners - Riverside. BVZ Riverside, a joint venture between Overland Contracting Inc. and Zachry Construction Company, provided full engineering, procurement and construction services for the project.

Highlights include:

• Evaporative cooling system improved efficiency and increased the plant output during high ambient temperature conditions.
• HRSGs, with gas fueled duct burners, increased plant output for peaking service.
• Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system controlled facility NOx emissions.
• A 30 inch diameter steam line, routed off-site from the Facility, delivered a nominal 775,000 lbs/hrs, and a maximum of 1,100,000 lbs/hr of process steam to the host facility.
• Steam turbines will allow bypass operation for startup of the HRSGs, and provides a means to operate the combustion turbine generators in the event the steam turbine generator is out of service.
