Helping Clients Reduce Environmental Impact by Enhancing Efficiency and Lifespan Through Innovative Technologies and Sustainable Solutions
Hydrogen and Nitrogen Plant at Utilities
Operational Challenge: The efficiency of the power station was undermined by the absence of reliable on-site hydrogen and nitrogen production facilities. Hydrogen is critical for cooling turbine generators to ensure safe, optimal performance and prevent overheating, while nitrogen is essential for blanketing storage tanks, protecting against contamination and preserving material integrity. Without these systems, equipment reliability was compromised, operational risks increased, and dependency on external supply chains placed ongoing pressure on plant stability.
Solution: COENG conducted a comprehensive review and redesign of the existing nitrogen engineering systems to align with operational requirements, enabling efficient and reliable on-site nitrogen production. In parallel, we optimized the hydrogen plant design using advanced technologies to ensure durability, safety, and operational performance.
COENG Value:
By engineering on-site nitrogen production, operational efficiency and safety were significantly enhanced. Eliminating reliance on external supply chains reduced logistical risk and ensured consistent availability. Similarly, the new hydrogen facility design ensures continuous production of high-purity hydrogen, guaranteeing safe and efficient cooling of turbine generators. Together, these solutions improved overall reliability, reduced downtime risk, and secured the long-term performance of the power station.
Utility Sampling, Conditioning, and Analysis System Upgrade
Solution: COENG implemented a full upgrade across all operational units, encompassing design, procurement, installation, and commissioning. The modernization introduced advanced instrumentation, modern sample conditioning systems, and an integrated data acquisition interface. This allowed precise, real-time monitoring and restored compliance while strengthening overall plant efficiency.
COENG Value: Delivered on schedule, the upgrade significantly enhanced the plant’s ability to conduct accurate, real-time analysis. It not only restored compliance but also improved production reliability and extended asset longevity. By deploying cutting-edge sampling and analysis technology, COENG enabled the client to modernize utility operations, improve diagnostics, and embed sustainability into the electricity supply chain.
