While the plant has been in long term storage, some plant items have been used to maintain the stored condition and for operation and storage of the adjacent Power Station. Specific plant in regular use and therefore not in near new condition, includes the following. Consideration of this equipment for sale would be by negotiation. Auxiliary transformer - used for providing power to services such as lighting and batteries. Air compressors - used for supplying dry air to both stations, for storage purposes. The circulating water system hypochlorinator - used for the dosing of the adjacent stations circulating water pipelines on a regular basis. The DC battery system. The power station has been in long term storage since construction was stopped in 1979. It was initially envisaged that the storage period would be for a maximum of 10 years, and that the situation would be reviewed and procedures possibly amended if the period was to be extended. The original storage philosophy, based on a 10 year storage period, was that the equipment should be stored and maintained in as near operating condition as possible. Storage procedures incorporated a combination of methods but mainly comprised dry air for internal, closed volumes, such as boiler and pipework and various coatings for other surfaces. Radiant heaters in the boiler furnace have ensured an elevated temperature in this space. Outdoor plant which could be readily moved has been moved to indoor storage. Such plant includes most motors and pumps, with the motors being stored with anti-condensation heaters connected and energised.

Not commissioning the station prior to storage and the fully enclosed design of the boiler and turbine buildings have greatly aided the long term storage process. This has resulted in minimal corrosion within the generally dry, warm atmosphere within the buildings.

The proximity of the station to the coast means that outdoor plant suffers from the harsh corrosive atmosphere, especially where equipment is not regularly washed by rain to remove salt deposits. For certain minor structural steelwork, small-bore pipework and valves located outdoors, no particular storage procedures have been followed, as replacement prior to commissioning was seen as the most appropriate action. From the time the long term storage procedures were instigated, the station has continued to be maintained by staff from the adjacent power station. The scope of maintenance work has generally ensured that the plant is kept in excellent condition. This has been confirmed by several plant reviews in the period 1987 to 1993 by independent consultants. In addition to the scope of maintenance work required by the long term storage procedures, the following has been carried out in recent years: External boiler ductwork has had its cladding and thermal insulation removed and the underlying steelwork surfaces have been cleaned and painted to arrest corrosion. The main and reserve transformers have been refurbished and repainted allowing the removal of most of their cooling fans to indoor storage. The service water tank anchor bolts and supports have been modified and upgraded. Duct support steelwork has been sandblasted and painted. Bottom sections of the chimney have been sandblasted and painted.

Summary of Option Reviews and Investigations The owner has carried out numerous reviews, studies and investigations of options for utilising the power station in the local power system. In 1980, the year following the decision to place the situation in long term storage, the then Electricity Division to the Ministry of Energy engaged the original designer of the power station, to carry out a feasibility study on using alternative fuels for the station. They studied four options: fuel oil as designed,

replacement coal fired boiler, coal-oil mixture firing and coal gasification. The study concluded that a new coal fired boiler was the best option.
