An HFO power plant is an energy-generating unit that uses heavy fuel oil to produce electricity as its primary fuel. A heavy fuel oil power plant using high-quality marine diesel engine technology. HFO is an efficient, cost-effective alternative to diesel fuel. HFO burns inside the engine, and this combustion's products act as the working fluid to produce mechanical energy. The engine is coupled to an alternator for the production of electric power. The voltage generated by the alternator is stepped up by the power transformer and supplied to the transmission line.

What is HFO Power Plant An HFO power plant is an energy-generating unit that uses heavy fuel oil to produce electricity as its primary fuel. A heavy fuel oil power plant using high-quality marine diesel engine technology. HFO is an efficient, cost-effective alternative to diesel fuel. HFO burns inside the engine and the products of this combustion act as the working fluid to produce mechanical energy. The engine is coupled to an alternator for the production of electric power. The voltage generated by the alternator is stepped up by the power transformer and supply to the transmission line. A power plant is mainly divided into two systems, that is mechanical system and an electrical system. Single Line Diagram of a HFO Power Plant Mechanical Systems HFO Power Plant HFO power plant mechanical system contains Engine or prime mover, Radiator or a cooling tower, Boiler, Start air Compressor, Instrument air or control air compressor, Instrument air drier, HFO separator, Lubricating oil separator, Feeder unit, Booster unit, Lubricating oil cooler, Lubricating oil filter, HFO filter, HFO storage tank, HFO settling tank, HFO service tank, Lubricating oil storage tank, Lubricating oil service tank, Used Lubricating oil tank, Water treatment plant, Oily water treatment plant, Sludge management system.
Electrical Systems HFO Power Plant In a power plant electrical system comprises low voltage(LV), medium voltage(MV), high voltage(HV) and control voltage systems and also various electrical equipment like Alternator, Transformer, NGR, Motor, Frequency converter, Circuit breaker, Isolator, Relay, Storage battery etc. HFO Power Plant Related Systems Fuel System Lubricating Oil System Heating System Water System Oily water & Sludge management System HFO Power Plant Fuel System The purpose of the fuel system is to provide the engine with an uninterrupted and reliable supply of clean fuel at correct pressure and viscosity. In a power plant with heavy fuel oil as the main source of energy and normally alternative light fuel oil is installed for emergency use and maintenance situations.
