N AT U R A L G A S TO S A I C A
Future Energy Group (FEG), have been successfully appointed by Spain’s leading corrugated packaging company (SAICA) to design,
construct and commission the 32 bar(g) natural gas supply pipeline, Class 300 filter meter unit and associated downstream pipework.
Natural Gas to SAICA
About 400,000 tons of lightweight 100% recycled paper will be manufactured at the plant for use in corrugated packaging. The Paper Mill is to be powered by Combined Heat & Power Engines, to be fuelled by Natural Gas with a requisite inlet pressure to the Turbine/CHP units of 28 bar(g).
The SAICA project provides FEG with a fantastic opportunity to deliver their considerable engineering expertise and niche skills-base, in addition to providing the requisite maintenance services.
National Grid (Gas) has already provided a minimum connection from a 36” diameter Pipeline (32 bar(g) MOP) within Partington gas storage site and Future Energy Group has constructed the inlet pipeline to stringent National Grid adoption standards.
Horizontal Directional Drilling (no dig) has been utilised in the crossing of a major thoroughfare to eliminate any possible disruption to traffic on a busy commuter route.
The inlet pipeline terminates within the boundary of the new SAICA Paper Mill at a facility to filter and meter the gas supply. A further downstream pipeline, owned and operated by SAICA, has been constructed. This section of pipeline takes the gas supply to the Combined Heat and Power unit through a pressure control and monitoring facility, which includes the facility to compress the gas to a higher pressure if required.
