Basic process engineering, mechanical, electrical and instrumental, and detailed engineering in mechanics and piping, electrical, instrumental and control, civil and structural.
Pares&Alvarez developed the basic engineering and detail engineering for the improvement of the instrument air system and service of Ventanas 1 and Ventanas 2. In addition, the engineering was done for ESVALs short-term solution in water use, for the replacement of the slag silo bucket elevator.
Empresa Eléctrica Ventanas, a subsidiary of the AES Gener Group, operates the Nueva Ventanas thermoelectric power plant, a plant with an installed capacity of 272 MW that it injects into the Central Interconnected System (SIC). Nueva Ventanas has state-of-the-art technology to minimize its emissions to the atmosphere: semi-dry desulphurization equipment (SDA) for the reduction of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions; Bag Filter System that captures 99.9% of particulate matter (MP), and adjustable tangential carbon burners, which reduce the generation of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx).
