2. Location
3. Distance from US/Canada Border
Approximately 48 km (Sunset Beach [near Amherstburg], Ontario)
4. Facility Type and Size
955-megawatt natural gas-fired combined cycle combustion turbine electric generating facility
5. Sources of Emissions
The facility consists of two combined cycle combustion turbines (3,055 mmBtu/hr heat input turbine at ISO conditions and 221.3 mmBtu/hr heat input duct burner) with dry low NOx combustors, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and catalytic oxidation, a 37.8 mmBtu/hr natural gas fired auxiliary boiler with low-NOx burners and flue gas recirculation, a 1,000 kWe (1,140 kW mechanical) emergency diesel-fired generator, a 300 hp emergency diesel-fired fire pump, and a 10-cell wet cooling tower equipped with a high efficiency drift eliminator.
6. Type of Fuel
Natural gas for the turbines and boiler and diesel fuel for the emergency generator and fire pump.
