August 2006 - PM provides
technical support for CalEnergy's
Geothermal operations. When US-based CalEnergy needed an economical alternative to Inconel 625 for its geothermal operations in Calipatria, California, PM International was asked to provided support for their selection of a mill able to meet their severe Super Duplex 2507 needs. The brine CalEnergy uses to generate geothermal power, enough power to meet the energy needs of around 340,000 homes, is one of the worlds most hostile. With chloride levels between 106,000 - 167,000 ppm, pH levels between 4.5 and 5.7, and temperatures from 550° to 600° F, the demands on the materials used are extreme. The second part of the geothermal process transports this brine through over 33,000 feet of production pipes. A 340-ft trial production pipeline in 2507 was installed and after 13 months of production, no indication of stress corrosion, cracking or pitting was observed. According to CalEnergy, the Super Duplex 2507 installation will be the largest ever in the USA. PM knew the mill selection was vital to the success of a Super Duplex installation of this size and specification. PM identified H. Butting GmbH & Co in Germany as the best solution for CalEnergy's stringent technical requirements. PM, along with Butting's sales office in Canada, supported CalEnergy throughout their trial. Consequently, CalEnergy placed their initial order for 30' Super Duplex 2507 pipe with Butting. PM International will continue to provide support to both CalEnergy and Butting throughout the installation process which is expected to begin January 2008. <2008 update: photos> |
