HFO Power Plants, Namely Heavy fuel oil power plants, refer to the energy station which uses heavy fuel oil as fuel, with the internal combustion engine as the prime mover to drive alternator, and convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and thermal energy. Generally them are small and medium sized power plant less than 300 MW, with small investment, short construction term, high reliability and easy maintenance.
Classification of HFO Power Plants:
1. According to their installation forms, can be divided into two categories:
■ Stationary HFO power plants,It can be divided into Factory-style HFO power plants and Containerized HFO power plants.
■ Marine HFO power plants, also known as Floating power plants, refer to Power barges that use heavy fuel oil as fuel. We can provide classification society certificates according to user requirements.
2. According to the engine speed used, it can be classified into two types:
■ Medium speed HFO power plants, with engine speed of 300-1000 r/min. Most medium speed HFO power plants are small and medium-sized power plants with a capacity of less than 200 MW. They have low investment, short construction period, high reliability, and easy maintenance.
■ Low speed HFO power plants, with engine speed below 300 r/min, operates more stably and durable, but requires large investment and long construction period, making it suitable for large power plants.
3. Classified by purpose, it can be divided into the following categories:
■ Factory & Mining Power Plants: Suitable for steel, cement, chemical industry, mining and other high energy consumption enterprises.
■ Island Power Plant: Suitable for use in island far from the land or areas without grid electricity.
■ Peaking Power Plant: Used in the region where the thermal power, hydropower and wind power varies much and the power demand is unstable.
