Co-generation
For combined heat and power (CHP) applications, such as industrial steam
production and district heating, combined cycle plants can provide very
high overall efficiency, and large environmental benefits. Co-generation
applications are typically more complex in operation than standard
combined cycle plants, due to the requirement to support multiple
operating modes, such as large variations in process steam requirements,
or changing seasonal heating demand. Strong plant integration and thermal
cycle design skills are essential to ensure the co-generation plant can
reliably support all required operational needs.

METKA has successfully completed a major co-generation plant project for

Aluminium of Greece, the largest co-generation plant of its kind in Europe.
The plant produces electricity for the network and a highly reliable steam
supply to the adjacent alumina production plant.

Environmental Upgrades
An entire generation of power plants faces a growing range
of environmental regulations and increasingly stringent emission controls.
At the same time the industry is challenged to boost power plant
efficiency, increase availability and extend plant lifetimes. We execute
projects to improve environmental performance, either by upgrading
existing equipment or by installing new state-of-the-art emission control
technologies.

METKA as consortium leader with Alstom has completed a series of projects

which dramatically reduced particulate emissions from existing lignite fired
units throughout Greece. By replacing and upgrading the existing
Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs), as well as by adding new high performance
ESPs, we helped the Public Power Corporation to bring plant environmental
performance in line with national legislation and the European Directive

the economies of scale needed for utility scale
adoption of renewables such as solar.

METKA is active in the solar technology sector,

We apply our proven project execution capabilities
to ensure major renewable investments are
