Loadbanks are used during commissioning to test the precise power-generating capacity of a power plant before it goes into operation. In addition to load-testing, Aggreko supplied 2.5 MW of power that was used at different stages of the project. This included 1,600 kVA for the commissioning of the processing plant and 350 kVA to power the intake pump of the project’s desalination plant. A further 13 generators were utilised for the commissioning of the dewatering plant.
”Aggreko’s contribution to the Sino Iron project highlights our ability to deliver multi-faceted, fully customised and highly flexible power solutions to our customers,” commented Asterios Satrazemis, Managing Director, Aggreko Australia-Pacific. “Our ability to cope with the complexity and size of the project, along with the constantly evolving demands placed on our equipment, is a great endorsement of both our people and our fleet.” Once fully commissioned, the mine’s own 450 MW power plant would be used to provide power to everything from the mine’s very own port to the many processing facilities. Testing the load on the plant was critical, and our 14 load banks were up to the task.

Our back-up power helped CITIC Pacific tick all those other construction jobs off their list. With our help, they moved closer to the final commissioning of this massive magnetite ore mine.
