Executive Summary

Fluor, as a member of an international engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) consortium, provided environmental oversight, procurement, construction, commissioning, testing and training at a 1,230-megawatt pulverized coal-fired power plant in Paiton, East Java, Indonesia.

Client's Challenge

The P. T. Paiton Energy Company comprised Edison Mission Energy, Mitsui, General Electric and Batu Hitam Perkasa. Fluor's power experience and worldwide resources were decisive factors in the selection of the consortium by P.T. Paiton, one of the world's largest independent power producers.

The project required that equipment and materials be shipped to Indonesia from suppliers all over the world.

Major contractors on the project were located in the United States, Indonesia, Japan and Korea.

Fluor's Solution

In addition to providing engineering, construction management and commissioning services, we were responsible for overall project planning and schedule control and training of operators.

Fluor coordinated the activities and deliverables of major contractors in the United States, Indonesia, Japan and Korea. We were responsible for the power-block portion of the project. The power block included procurement of two 615-megawatt steam turbine generators, two five-million lb/hr, 1,005 °F / 2,620 psig boilers and associated mechanical, instrumentation and electrical systems, as well as precipitator and FGD systems, chimney and distributed control for the overall project.

Conclusion

Fluor delivered to P.T. Paiton Energy Company a power plant that met or exceeded U.S. environmental requirements using a precipitator and seawater scrubber for emission control.

Unit 7 achieved commercial operation in May 1999 and Unit 8 went commercial two months later.
