Eskom issues a milling tender for Camden power station

Eskom has issued a tender for the provision of milling plant reject removal for a period of 60 months at Camden Power Station.

Deadline: 23 May 2025

There will be a virtual non-compulsory briefing meeting on Wednesday, 23 April.

Camden Power Station (CPS) is a fossil fuel-fired power station which consists of eight generating units, each capable of producing 200MWe. The boilers are front-fired with a steam drum.

The boiler has five dedicated coal milling (grinding or pulverising) units, each with a capability of 50MWe.

During normal MCR operation, only four mills are in service, and one is always on standby/maintenance.

The objective of this contract is to provide coal reject removal service for the milling plant at Camden power station.

The mills are required to be retained in an excellent working condition to ensure complete combustion, optimum efficiency and/or to avoid partial load loss.

The milling plant is a critical plant at Camden Power Station, making the milling plant service and maintenance also critical, as any failure may result in a 50MWe partial load loss.

The mills reject poor-quality coal, stones and foreign material to the reject box, and this waste must be removed timely during the operation of the mill to ensure optimum performance.

Mills are required during unit light-ups, shutdowns, normal operation and load changes.

Availability, reliability and performance of the milling plant are essential in terms of ensuring optimum performance of the plant and hence the need for a service contract.
