The customer for the project is CNOOC, China national oil company. The general designer and contractor is Harbinsky marine boilers and turbines research institute. GTPP with the capacity 6 MW and the efficiency 30 % operates in parallel with the power grid. It satisfies the needs of the chemicals plant in electric power.
In March 2009 the power plant run continuous testing.The power unit is designed on the base of UGT6000 (DV71) turbine by Zorya-Mashproekt. QFW-6-Z generator with output voltage 6.3 kV was manufactured in China. The power plant can be run on casing-head gas or natural gas.

GE Energy announced today that Edipower, a leading Italian generation company, has selected GE Energy’s ecomagination-certified gas turbine emissions control technology to meet regional greenhouse gas emissions standards at the company’s Sermide facility. Edipower will achieve the new NOx emissions standards for combined-cycle power plants, the most aggressive in Europe, with the help of GE’s DLN 2.6+ system. Edipower provides nearly eight percent of Italy’s energy needs, generating 7,700 megawatts (MW) of capacity annually, including 750 MW generated by renewable energy resources.
On January 1, 2009, the region of Lombardy, Italy, enacted new standards limiting nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions to 30 milligrams (mg) /Nm3 as compared to present levels of 50 mg/Nm3, for a total emissions reduction of 40 percent. Edipower’s combined-cycle power plant in Sermide will meet the new standards with the installation of GE’s Dry Low NOx (DLN) 2.6+ system.
By adding the DLN 2.6+ system to its Sermide facility, Edipower will limit its greenhouse gas emissions, such as NOx and carbon monoxide (CO), to below the 30 mg/Nm3 cap. The DLN 2.6+ system also will reduce the minimum operating load levels for the gas turbines to 35 percent, improving the operating flexibility and increasing benefits to both the environment and project economics.
GE will upgrade all three 9FA+e gas turbines operating at the Sermide facility with the advanced DLN 2.6+ combustion systems. To meet Edipower's requirements for a short-cycle project, GE will perform each upgrade starting in parallel with a planned maintenance outage, thus requiring minimal additional stoppage time to the power plant’s production.
GE Energy's newest dry low NOx combustion system, DLN 2.6+, was developed to help power plant operators meet or exceed the increasingly stringent regulatory requirements in Europe and elsewhere around the world. Capable of reducing NOx and CO emissions by 40 percent or more on GE Frame 9FA gas turbines, this technology has been certified under GE’s ecomagination program to address the need for cleaner, more efficient sources of energy to reduce emissions.
