Bacardi – CHP Plant

Fermin Industrial Metal Works Inc. (FIMW) played a key role in the mechanical construction of Bacardi’s Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant in Cataño, Puerto Rico. Completed between 2022 and 2023, the project exemplifies renewable energy integration and circular economy practices, using biogas recovered from Bacardi’s rum distillation process in combination with LPG to power operations.

The plant generates:

  •  3,113 kWe of electricity
  • 300 RT of chilled water
  • 34 tn/h of steam via an HRSG with a post-combustion burner, supported by a conventional dual-fuel boiler

FIMW completed the fabrication, assembly, structural supports, inspections, and testing of all mechanical systems, including:

  •  LPG and Biogas Systems (LPG, BG)
  • Chilled Water System (CHW)
  • Saturated Steam and Condensate System (SS, CRW)
  • Industrial and Purge Water Systems (IW, PUW)
  • Demineralized and Drinking Water Systems (DEMI, DW)
  • Compressed Air System (CA)
  • Exhaust Gas System (EXH)
  • Turbine Auxiliary Systems (air intake, ventilation, etc.)

This installation is a benchmark for sustainable industrial energy solutions, aligning with Bacardi’s environmental commitments while enhancing energy reliability, efficiency, and production continuity.

Planta CHP de Janssen, Gurabo PR
