The Avion gas power plant of First Gen Corp. unit, Prime Meridian Power Gen Corp. (PMPC), can now run on both natural gas and liquid fuel.
The Lopez-led firm said Monday that PMPC was advised by the plant’s equipment manufacturer, GE, that the recommissioning and testing activities of Unit 1 of the 97MW Avion Power Plant on both natural gas and liquid fuel have now been completed.
“The unit is now commercially available on both natural gas and liquid fuel,” said First Gen.
It can be recalled that GE said in December last year that the damage of Avion unit 1’s (48.5MW) compressor was found during an inspection.
The 97MW Avion plant utilizes General Electric (GE) LM6000 PC dual fuel aero-derivative gas turbines.
The Avion power plant, which is located within the First Gen Clean Energy Complex in Batangas City, is one of the gas facilities that source fuel from the offshore Malampaya gas field.
