The technology group Wärtsilä will supply an 18 MW extension to the power generating facility and improve the electrical and automation system of the existing energy plant on the Sabodala-Massawa gold mine advanced in Senegal, West Africa.
The mine is owned by Endeavour Mining, a leading world gold producer. The upgrading and extension venture will enable for the entire integration of all of the site’s power producing capacity, whereas guaranteeing the availability of the wanted electric power to maintain and expand the mine’s manufacturing schedules
he order with Wärtsilä was positioned by Sabodala Gold Operations and it has been booked in Wärtsilä’s order intake in Q3 2022. The challenge shall be delivered beneath a complete engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract.
Sabodala-Massawa mine is the most important producing gold mine in Senegal and is positioned within the japanese part of the country in the Kedougou area. Endeavour’s planned mine enlargement will remodel Sabodala-Massawa right into a top-tier gold asset with incremental manufacturing.
“Wärtsilä has a depth of expertise in delivering power solutions for mining operations around the world. Not being connected to the grid means that the captive plant has to be able to offering a dependable provide of electrical energy at all times, since no power equals no manufacturing. The Wärtsilä 32 engines selected for this expansion venture have established a robust reputation for top effectivity and reliability underneath even probably the most difficult ambient conditions, eliminating income losses from energy shortages,” said Marc Thiriet, Energy Business Director, Africa West, Wärtsilä.
The three Wärtsilä 32 engines to be installed are 20 per cent extra gasoline efficient than the plant’s present engines. Their gas effectivity minimises the environmental impact by reducing harmful CO2 emissions. In addition to their excellent efficiency, they’ve the flexibility to support a smooth transition to the integration of solar energy and vitality storage into the system. The upgrade of the electrical and automation system will optimise the interconnection and management for the present energy plant with the extension.
หลักการทำงานของเกจ์วัดแก๊ส is anticipated to be accomplished and commissioned earlier than the tip of 2023.
Wärtsilä is Senegal’s leading supplier of power producing equipment, and already has 543 MW of installed capability in altogether 20 energy crops in the country. 458 MW of this capability is beneath Wärtsilä long-term service agreements.
