The know-how group Wärtsilä will supply an 18 MW extension to the facility producing facility and upgrade the electrical and automation system of the prevailing energy plant at the Sabodala-Massawa gold mine advanced in Senegal, West Africa.
The mine is owned by Endeavour Mining, a number one world gold producer. The upgrading and extension challenge will permit for the complete integration of all of the site’s energy producing capability, while making certain the availability of the needed electric energy to keep up and expand the mine’s production schedules
he order with Wärtsilä was placed by Sabodala Gold Operations and it has been booked in Wärtsilä’s order consumption in Q3 2022. The venture might be delivered beneath an entire engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract.
Sabodala-Massawa mine is the biggest producing gold mine in Senegal and is located in the eastern part of the country in the Kedougou region. Endeavour’s planned mine enlargement will transform Sabodala-Massawa into a top-tier gold asset with incremental manufacturing.
“Wärtsilä has a depth of expertise in delivering energy options for mining operations around the world. Not being connected to the grid means that the captive plant must be able to offering a dependable supply of electricity at all times, since no energy equals no manufacturing. The Wärtsilä 32 engines chosen for this expansion challenge have established a strong reputation for high efficiency and reliability beneath even the most tough ambient circumstances, eliminating revenue losses from power shortages,” stated Marc Thiriet, Energy Business Director, Africa West, Wärtsilä.
The three Wärtsilä 32 engines to be put in are 20 per cent more fuel environment friendly than the plant’s current engines. Their fuel efficiency minimises the environmental impact by reducing dangerous CO2 emissions. In addition to their excellent efficiency, they’ve the flexibleness to assist a smooth transition to the mixing of solar energy and power storage into the system. เกจ์วัดแรงดันน้ำ of the electrical and automation system will optimise the interconnection and management for the prevailing energy plant with the extension.
ชนิดของpressuregauge is predicted to be completed and commissioned before the top of 2023.
Wärtsilä is Senegal’s leading supplier of power generating equipment, and already has 543 MW of installed capacity in altogether 20 power vegetation within the country. 458 MW of this capacity is under Wärtsilä long-term service agreements.
