Promoting and safeguarding the quality

of life is, in many aspects, based on the

development and provision of fossil and re-

newable energy sources and, in particular,

on the efficient and environmentally com-

patible conversion of these energy sourcesinto electricity and heat.

In the course of continuously extendingthe scope of its activities in the past 35 years,ILF has gained broad technical expertise andknow-how, enabling the firm to perform com-plex planning, design and consulting services

for international clients in the oil, gas andwater sectors.

On account of its long-standing inter-disciplinary capabilities, ILF is increasinglybecoming involved in the development andimplementation of power plant projects asdesigner and consultant. ILFs customers relyon the companys comprehensive experiencein all stages of a project involving analysis ofall potential energy sources.

In order to meet the high expectationsof our customers, we pool the scientific com-petence and innovative capacity from all ourdisciplines for the project in question: powerplant technology, construction engineering,

environmental engineering, information tech-nology and electrical engineering.

ILF gives top priority to developing sus-

tainable and economical solutions for its cus-tomers. Our principles include reliability andfunctionality, safety, strict adherence to dead-lines, as well as independence from manufac-turers and suppliers interests.

Eco-friendliness and economic efficiencyensure the sustainability of the project inquestion.

ILF strives to provide optimum solutions

for its customers.

ILF understands that the services we offerin the energy sector are integral componentsof a value chain.

Starting with the development, process-ing and transport of energy sources suchas gas, oil, water or biomass, through theconversion into thermal or electric energy,this value chain includes the production of

drinking water from integrated power and seawater desalination plants.

The advantages afforded by our broadinterdisciplinary structure become particu-larly evident wherever such integrated plantsfeed not only into energy transmission anddistribution systems, but also where thedrinking water produced is fed into long-distance transmission systems and urbandistribution networks.

n Generation of electric andthermal energy

Modern power plants running on fossilfuels transform the primary energy sources,such as coal, oil, gas and residual materialsfrom the petrochemical industry, into heat,steam or electric energy. In internationalmarkets, energy sources, transformationprocesses and investors vie for profitabil-ity. Steam power plants with boiler firing sys-tems and cogeneration plants compete withgas turbine plants and combined gas andsteam turbine plants. Innovative technologyis important to ensure the best possible uti-lisation, efficiency and profitability of com-peting power plant projects. When designingsuch plants, the long-term availability of thechosen fuel is investigated and emphasis isplaced on the optimum utilisation of the fuel.Furthermore, fuels such as oil and coal con-tain different amounts of contaminants suchas sulphur, chloride and heavy metals, result-ing in differing emission spectra because oftheir combustion characteristics. Exhaust gaspurification techniques must be applied thatsimultaneously meet the requirements of en-vironmental legislation and the principles of

profitability.

Thermal power plants such as gas turbinefacilities for oilfields and compressor stationsare among the projects that ILF has been in-volved in since the inception of its businessactivities. While extending its portfolio inthe oil and gas sector, ILF has also becomeinvolved in other types of power plants withconstantly increasing capacities. ILF offersits customers services such as technical andeconomic pre-feasibility studies, tender de-

sign, as well as project management for thesepower plants.

n Integrated power generationand sea water desalination plants

Integrated power generation and seawater desalination plant projects are increas-ingly tendered by government institutions asBuild-Operate-Transfer (BOT) contracts and/oras Independent Water & Power Projects (IWPP).The bidders are generally international inves-tor groups. Among other things, the successof such projects depends on choosing theappropriate process technology, and in thisarea ILF plans and designs individually inline with project requirements, consideringavailable thermal (MSF, MED) and membraneprocesses (RO, ED, NF). This includes the en-gineering design of raw water treatment pro-cesses, post-treatment and/or conditioning ofproduct water in line with WHO standards.

ILF develops power plant projects andsea water desalination plants, offers consul-tancy services for privatisation projects andassesses the technical and economic viabil-ity of investment projects in the internationalenergy industry.

ILF is also a capable partner for tasks

such as modernisation, rehabilitation andretrofitting to increase capacity, as well as forthe safe and environmentally friendly decom-missioning of energy generating plants.

n Renewable raw materials pro-vide heat, steam and electricity

The utilisation of renewable energy sourc-es contributes significantly to the preventionof climate change.

The use of biomass, in particular wood,as a renewable energy source is gaining im-portance especially in supplying commercialusers with process steam and electric en-ergy. Biomass district heating plants gener-ate electric and thermal power and at thesame time utilise the natural resources veryefficiently. Industrial wood waste- and woodchip-fired plants achieve optimum energy ef-ficiency and minimum flue gas emissions. Thisexcellent combination is guaranteed by usingstate-of-the-art plant components in the fieldof boiler systems and flue gas purification.

Seen against this backdrop, productionprogress in forestry as well as falling woodprices favour the use of this energy sourceover fossil fuels.

Due to its interdisciplinary organisation,ILF is able to provide top-quality in-housedesign services. The experience acquiredthrough successful project execution guar-antees maximum effectiveness, quality andfunctionality.

n An elemental force of natureharnessed by man

The growing worldwide energy demandand increasing consumption of fossil fuels is

counterbalanced by the sustainable produc-tion of electricity using the natural energy offlowing water, especially when viewed againstthe backdrop of climate protection. The at-tractiveness of hydropower derives from its

renewability and environmental compatibil-ity, which can be maintained through carefulplanning and management.

Depending on local conditions, hydropow-er plants come in various sizes and designs. Inmountainous terrain the high available statichead is used by designing high-pressure pow-er plants of varying dimensions, depending onregional conditions and requirements: fromhydroelectric power stations integrated intothe water supply system, small- and medium-sized hydropower plants for regional energysupply, to large diversion power plants. Com-

binations with reservoirs are also feasible,making it possible to balance seasonal inflowfluctuations. Pumped storage power plantsare used to even out daily peak loads.

In areas where high static head is notavailable, low-head schemes or run-of-river

plants can be designed, generating electricenergy with less head but larger flow rates.Again, depending on the conditions and re-quirements, small- and large-size plants areplanned.

Engineering activities for hydropowerplants are complex and require a number ofspecialist disciplines, all of which are avail-able within ILF. When planning and executingprojects, ILF places great emphasis on eco-nomic sustainability, sensible utilisation ofnatural resources and acceptance by society.

n Spatial distance and loadbehaviour: a challenge

The site of a thermal power plant isideally located at the interface of different

connections to the energy consumers. Anoth-er decisive factor for the location is a suitableinfrastructure for the chosen primary energysource.

The installation of hydropower plantsis governed by hydrographic boundaryconditions, social aspects and settlementgeography, as well as by criteria for preserv-ing forests and biodiversity.

In all cases the safe transport of electricityto the consumers requires complex system de-sign solutions. This applies both to the energysuppliers overhead power transmission linesand to industrial supply systems, which often

place great demands on the system design onaccount of the special load characteristics.

n Individual system concepts:solutions for success

ILF examines, designs and implements allcomponents of energy transport and energy

supply. This includes the new constructionand rehabilitation of high-voltage and medi-um-voltage switching stations, overhead linesand underground cable sections in the respec-tive transmission and distribution systems

including the necessary civil works, communi-cations systems and power systems. In the oiland gas industry, these systems are custom-ised to meet project-specific requirements ofuninterruptible power supply and based onfuture-oriented functionality.

ILFs engineering services focus on findingoptimum economic and technical solutions formainly industrial clients.
