PSEG’s Latest Combined-Cycle Plant Sewaren 7, Designed to Use Air (in Lieu of Water) to Reject its Waste Heat, Will Deploy Holtec’s Air Cooled Condenser

We are pleased to announce that PSEG Fossil, a subsidiary of PSEG Power, has selected Holtec International’s state-of-the-art Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) for its Sewaren 7 high-efficiency combined-cycle generating station, in Woodbridge, NJ. The Sewaren ACC will feature 20 discrete heat transfer cells with a footprint of approximately 40,500 square feet and will stand approximately 125 feet tall. Vertically integrated to autonomously deliver air-cooled heat transfer solutions to the industry, Holtec will carry out all required engineering and equipment manufacturing, with limited reliance on third-party suppliers for certain components, such as blowers and deaerators, to ensure on-time deliveries. Photos below show sections of a recently completed ACC supplied by Holtec to a California site. (more…)
