Sells steam & electricity to Flo-Sun Sugar Mill & Florida Crystals Refinery. West Palm Beach near Lake Okeechobee. This co-gneration plant uses left over sugar cane fiber to run the mill and refinery. The plant is located next to the Flo-Sun Inc Okeelanta Sugar mill, 6 miles south of South Bay. Plant is in western palm beach county, next to the Fanjul family's sugar mill (according to Sun Sentinel article). Okeelanta Corporation: 561-996-9072 56% of the heat value of the fuel coming from the bagasse. The average heat content for the bagassed fired by the facility is 7.4 mmBTU per short ton, with a moisture content of 51% and an ash content of 2.4%. The wood waste is collected from within a 100 mile radius of the facilty. The average heat content for the wood waste is 9.0 mmBTU per short ton, with a moisture content of 33% and an ash content of 7%. By burning wood waste, the Facility saves approximately 2 million cubic yards of landfill space each year. It sells electricity into wholesale markets year around and during the milling season, supplies steam at various pressures to a neighboring sugar mill and refinery, which also belongs to FC. Output is 58.0 mW net during the milling season and 74.9 mW net during the "dead season". Mill capacity is 1,000 short tons of cane per hour The facility consists of three stoker-fired boilers and one turbogenerator. Each ABB-CE boiler can produce 440,000 lb/hour of steam at 1,565 psig and 955 deg F. It incorporates a Detroit Stoker vibrating grate spreader stoker plus optimized air supply and distribution. A multi-cyclone mechanical dust collector, an electrostatic precipitator and a non-catalytic reduction system are installed on each boiler, for the control of emissions. The turbine is an MHI/Westinghouse 3,600 rpm, extraction condensing, down exhaust steam turbine directly coupled to a two-pole synchronous 13.8 kV, 60 Hz. Sieman/Westing-house generator.
