Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) hired POWER Engineers to provide a complete design and procurement package for a 52 MW geothermal plant sited on the island of Mindanao in the Republic of the Philippines. The project is based on an MHI turbine and flash system, an advanced example of MHI's legendary family of top-exhaust geothermal turbines in widespread use throughout the world.
The Mindanao 1 and Mindanao 2 plants are side by side.
POWER Engineers developed a complete design and layout for the plant components, including the turbine, condenser, non-condensable gas extraction equipment, the powerhouse and other buildings, switchgear and relaying, the plant cooling tower, condensate ponds, and in-plant resource and condensate piping.
A tricky business; transporting a generator to the Mindanao 2 site.
The project also included design of a remote low-pressure flash separator unit installed upstream from the main plant to increase steam delivery to the plant by flashing hot brine recovered from PNOC's steam separators located in the Mt. Apo steamfield.
To ensure a smooth startup, POWER Engineers performed complete testing and energization services.

The Power of Experience
Prior to winning the contract for the Mindanao 2 project, POWER Engineers worked with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries on Mindanao 1. Our design scope for this earlier project included site design, plant facilities, a substation, generation and distribution controls, a cooling tower, and plant piping and pump systems. We also provided project management, procurement and extensive field engineering support, including start-up engineering, factory witness and testing services, development of safety and security procedures, parts and materials expediting, transportation problem-solving, system testing and commissioning, and control system optimization.
