The
Londonderry Ecological-Industrial Park is a 100-acre parcel of land strategically
located near the Manchester, NH Airport in the Town of Londonderry, New
Hampshire.
The
focus of the Eco-Park is a state-of-the-art 725 MW, natural gas-fired, co-generation
power facility. The power plant is owned by AES and situated on a 44-acre
site, with 30 acres devoted to interpretive nature trails and held as permanent
conservation land.
By-products
of the power plant include both high pressure steam and hot water which will
be used by other tenants in the park. By using the excess heat from the cooling
process, the overall efficiency of the plant will increase.
The
most noteworthy design feature of the Londonderry Eco-Park, however, is the
use of treated wastewater from the City of Manchester, which will be used
to cool the gas-fired generators. |
