Flow reaches the final stage of the project for the GNA thermoelectric complex

Considering the great challenge and responsibility to develop and control the planning of projects within the Covid-19 crisis, it is with great pleasure that Fluxo announces its call for the start of the commissioning and start-up phase of the Gás Natural Açu thermoelectric complex ( GNA). During the period of execution of the work, the COA – Consórcio Açu and Acciona had great challenges, and with a lot of hard work and intelligence, they managed to complete the field assembly, to finally reach this stage of the project's schedule. The accuracy of the start of electrical generation is January of the next year.

Fluxo made a major contribution to the complex by supplying equipment capable of regulating and measuring more than 7 million m3 per day, for the GNA1 project and for the LNG terminal. Are they:

• 2 Emeds with two spans each;
• 4 Gas analysis chromatographs for C6+, C9+, H2S and Dew Point;
• 2 coalescing filters;
• 2 heat exchangers;
• 2 systems and pressure regulation;
• 4 water heating boilers;
• 1 redundant hot water pump system;
• Pipe, electrical and instrumentation interconnection infrastructure;
• Redundant control and supervisory system, for the monitoring and control of the equipment mentioned above.

 About GNA 

GNA – Gás Natural Açu is a joint venture formed by Prumo Logística, BP and Siemens, dedicated to the development, implementation and operation of structuring and sustainable energy and gas projects. The company is building the largest natural gas-fired thermoelectric plant in Latin America in Porto do Açu – RJ. The project comprises the implementation of two thermal plants powered by natural gas (GNA I and GNA II) which, together, will reach 3 GW of installed capacity, enough energy to supply approximately 14 million homes. In addition to the thermal plants, the project comprises an LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Regasification Terminal, with a capacity of 21 million m3/day.  

 “The arrival of the FSRU BW MAGNA is one of the great milestones of the GNA project. When in operation, our thermoelectric plant will be able to produce energy equivalent to 17% from Brazilian natural gas thermal generation, contributing to the security of the National Integrated System. We are very proud of the completion of this important stage of our project”, says Bernardo Perseke, GNA's CEO.
