The LORING Utilities Infrastructure Group with NK Engineers provided comprehensive engineering services (mechanical, electrical, architectural, structural, civil site, plumbing and fire protection) for the conversion and upgrade of a Rankine Cycle Power Plant into an 11 MW Dual Fuel Combined Cycle (Bottoming Cycle) Power Plant. The system includes two 3.5 MW Combustion Turbine Generator Sets, two 50,000 pph Heat Recovery Steam Generators, a 100,000 pph auxiliary boiler, pressure reducing stations with desuperheaters, boiler feed pumps and deaerator tank.  These were integrated with two refurbished 2.0 MW Backpressure / Extraction Steam Turbine Generator Sets.

The electrical power generating system will have the capability of paralleling with the utility grid, importing power to the site from the utility, or operating in an "island" mode.  The project included major redesign of site utilities including storm water, sanitary, steam distribution, a site city water booster pumping station and underground electrical duct bank relocations.

The project for the Rhode Island Department of Mental Health is being financed and developed by NORESCO, construction management by ADA Marshall/Fluor Daniel, Arden (Mechanical) Contracting and Mass Electric.
