SITE LOCATIONS
The 40-acre site provides ample space for both R&D programs and continuous full-scale commercial operations. It is ideally situated between heavy and light oil fields thirsty for steam and CO2, in the middle of the water-deprived fruit and nut orchards of the Central Valley, and on top of geologic formations WESTCARB identified as suitable for safe and permanent CO2 storage.
Kimberlina Power Plant
Clean Energy Systems' Kimberlina Power Plant (KPP) is the world largest oxy-fuel combustion test facility. This former 5 MWe biomass power plant is now host to most of CES' testing and demonstration equipment. It is laid out primarily for R&D, sub-commercial, and commercial operations and today is home to:
- CES 4" 20 MWt Gas Generator
- SAGD Gas Generator and Steam Separator commercial scale test bed
- CES 12" 200 MWt Gas Generator
- CES OFT-J79 30 MWe Expander Turbine
- CES OFT-900 150 MWe Expander Turbine
- CES 28 MWt Reheat Combustor
- Dedicated Heat Exchanger Test Bed
- Full-Scale Steam Reheater Test Bed
- 100% Carbon-Capture-Ready, 5 MWe Steam Turbine Cycle; Suitable for Continuous Operations, Producing 1,500 Mscfd CO2
PLACERITA POWER PLANT
Clean Energy Systems' Placerita Power Plant (PPP), a former 120 MWe combined heat and power plant (CHP), sits tucked away in the hills of the Placerita oil field, close to Santa Clarita in the north of LA county. CES acquired the facility in early 2011 after it had been idle since 2008. It allows CES to deploy equipment in a wide variety of configurations while building on a wealth of existing infrastructure, such as a 120 MWe power interconnect and a gas pipeline interconnect.
CES also acquired land surrounding PPP, including the associated mineral rights, to provide for an ideal test site for power a CES CHP concept producing steam for thermal oil recovery, while selling zero-emission power into the Californian power grid.
Mendota Power Plant
Clean Energy Systems' Mendota Power Plant is an idled 25 MW biomass power plant located in an agricultural area of the Central Valley of California, approximately 40 miles west of Fresno. Formerly owned and operated by Covanta Energy, the plant processed 600 tons of waste biomass material into energy each day. The biomass material was comprised of wood waste that was diverted from landfills and agricultural wood derived from whole orchard removal and miscellaneous agricultural residue generated in processing produce such as olives, almonds, prunes, peaches and many others.
Today, CES believes the site is ideal for conversion to its Carbon Negative Energy (CNE) process due to the area’s immense potential to safely and permanently store captured carbon dioxide underground in deep geologic formations. The facility boasts significant infrastructure such as biomass receiving and processing equipment, electrical interconnection, boiler feed water and balance of plants systems, that could all be reused in the new, renewable CNE facility.
DELANO POWER PLANT
Clean Energy Systems' Delano Power Plant is an idled 50 MW biomass power plant located in an agricultural area of the Central Valley of California, approximately 30 miles north of Bakersfield. Formerly owned and operated by Covanta Energy, the plant processed nearly 1200 tons of waste biomass material into energy each day. The biomass material came from farms in Kern and Tulare Counties that generate woody waste from almond, peach, nectarine and other orchards, as well as urban wood wastes recycled from Kern County landfills.
