ABSTRACT:
A conceptual design for a solar cogeneration facility has been prepared by a team led by Bechtel Group, Inc. with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The design involves the addition of a solar central receiver steam supply system to the Pioneer Mill Co., Ltd. sugar factory.
Amfac Sugar Company, the owner and operator of Pioneer Mill, has been heavily involved in the design effort. Their requirements of simplicity and reliability were important criteria in the selection of water/steam for the system working fluid. As a typical industrial energy consumer, they have also been thoroughly introduced to this technology through this involvement.
This project provides an excel lent opportunity for a joint effort by the government and the industrial sector to demonstrate that such a system can achieve wide commercial success under certain conditions in those areas of the U.S. possessing a significant solar resource.
