    Formerly the primary economic powerhouse of port moody, this mill burnt down in 1911. The company that owned it, Robert McNair Shingle, closed permanently in 1954.

    Surprisingly disappointing. And that says something, because I was expecting to be underwhelmed. No offence intended towards people who like this place, there just isn't much to see here, and its so well known as to hold no 'discovery' value.
  • Burrard Thermal Power Station, pmjw (guest) wrote 15 years ago:
    Aha, I found it: Units 1-5 are rated at 157.5 MW, Unit 6 (commissioned 1975) is rated at 162.5 MW. Total 950 MW.
  • Burrard Thermal Power Station, pmjw (guest) wrote 15 years ago:
    OK I stand corrected, they're steam turbines. But 150MW x 6 units = 900MW total, not 950MW as per Hydro's own website. According to John Maher, Environmental and Social Manager, BC Hydro, Thermal Operations (Environmental Initiatives at Burrard Generating Station, April 3, 2006), each unit produces 155MW. Now 155 x 6 = 930MW, that's closer to 950 but still not right! Should it be 158.33MW each?
  • Burrard Thermal Power Station, exthermalengr (guest) wrote 15 years ago:
    Let's get our facts straight. Burrard's six 150MW units are once through sea water condenser cooled steam turbine generating units with steam provided from natural gas fired boilers. There are no gas turbines at Burrard. Selective catalytic reduction equipment (SCR) supplied by Mitsubishi (Japan) was installed on each of the six boilers to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 99.95% making it the cleanest plant of its type in North America. BC Hydro contemplated converting the plant to a combined cycle gas turbine generating plant in the mid 1990's but never went ahead with the project. The conversion would have added a single gas turbine to each of the steam generating units thereby increasing the power output from the station to over 1500MW and the overall thermal efficiency to 60% from the existing 30-35%.
