Kathu Solar Park is located in the Northern Cape (South Africa). It is a CSP Project (Concentrated Solar Power) Using solar panels, thermal oil (HTF) is heated up to 400 \u00baC; the recirculation of the HTF produces steam that feeds a turbine generating 100 MW of electricity.<\/p>\n
To generate 100 MW of electricity with thermal oil from the solar field, the recirculation of a very relevant volume is required. Unitecno filters have the mission of protecting the pumps and other components of the thermal oil circuit by retaining particles up to 300 microns.<\/p>\n
Unitecno’s most outstanding scope of supply:<\/p>\n
5 Unit 22\u201d-300# basket filter for an operating flow of 2,100 m3<\/p>\n
2 Unit 24\u201d-600# basket filters for a nominal flow of 1,970 m3\/h at 350\u00baC<\/p>\n
1 unit 10\u201d-300# and 20 micron cartridge filter and backwash with nitrogen, for the elimination of by-products derived from the degradation that thermal oil produces over time.<\/p>\n
