Al-Zara
Location: Syria
Operator: Public Estab for Electricity Generation & Trans (PEEGT)
Configuration: 3 X 220 MW
Operation: 2000
Fuel: natural gas, fuel oil
Boiler supplier: MHI
T/G supplier: MHI, Melco
EPC: Mott McDonald, Commonwealth Engineers Co, MHI, TOEC
Quick facts: In Mar 1996, the Syrian government advertised for a
steam-electric plant at Al-Zara 25km north of Homs and in the center of
the Syrian grid. The original scheme called for five 200-MW units to be
built in two stages of 600 MW and 400 MW, respectively, but in the end,
only three units were built. Construction started in Apr 1997. The
Japanese government provided a soft loan of $462mn to help finance the
project, which includes a 230/66kV substation and feeder lines linking the
new station to the grid. Due to limited access to freshwater, the units
have EGI dry cooling towers 125m high, about twice the height of
conventional towers for this size plant. The stacks are 150m tall.

the Banias Oil Refinery. In Jun 2007, a joint venture of Azarab Industries
Co and local firms finished a full-scope, 18mo overhaul on one of the
170-MW units. In addition to repairs on the boiler, turbine and generator,
a completely new control system was installed. The total cost was $18mn,
of which $11mn was financed by the Export Development Bank of Iran and the
