Description
The Komotini facility is a combined cycle power plant that integrates gas turbines, heat recovery steam generators, and steam turbine generation to improve overall thermal efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions compared with conventional single-cycle operation. Commissioned in September 2002, the plant has a total installed electrical capacity of 484.6 MW.
Products Used
Surface preparation included hydro-blasting both cooling tower pedestals, which removed deteriorated material and exposed numerous cracks. PENETRON, a surface-applied crystalline waterproofing material, was applied to the reinforcement as a corrosion-inhibiting treatment and to the concrete as a bonding primer. PENEBAR SW-45 hydrophilic waterstop cords were installed around the base, while injection ports enabled placement of PENETRON INJECT, a two-component crystalline water-blocking and repair grout, into the cracks. PENECRETE MORTAR was used for additional concrete repairs, and PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, was added to the concrete mix for the new cast-in-place concrete sections.
