At AITESA, our commitment does not end when equipment arrives on site.
During a recent visit to a 100 MW Senelec- L'Officiel thermal power plant in Senegal, our team supervised the final stages of the ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ญ ๐ซ๐๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ซ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐, supporting both the ex*****on of the works and the operational readiness of the plant.
AITESAโs WHRB preheats the heavy fuel oil (HFO) fed to the engine by recovering thermal energy from the exhaust gas stream that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, turning waste into a valuable resource. By recovering exhaust heat to raise the HFO temperature, viscosity is reduced, enabling finer atomization at the injectors, more complete combustion, and ultimately less fuel consumed for the same power output.
Based on the engine's operating profile, this translates into approximately ๐,๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐โ ๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐๐๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ.
One of the key achievements of the project was the successful completion of the dismantling of the existing boiler and the installation of the new unit in just three days. This milestone was made possible through detailed planning and the preparation of dismantling and installation procedures developed by our partner company ๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฌ before our arrival on site
Beyond installation, the visit focused on ensuring a smooth transition to operation.

Our specialists ๐๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ข๐จ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ณ๐ฬ๐ฅ๐๐ณ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ง and ๐๐ข๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ซ provided comprehensive training to the plant operators, covering:
โข Boiler operation and integration with the engine system
โข Start-up and shutdown sequences
โข Troubleshooting procedures
โข Safety protocols related to overpressure and leak scenarios
โข Water quality requirements and operational best practices
โข Maintenance procedures, including periodic cleaning operations
Projects like this demonstrate that successful delivery is not only about supplying equipment. It is about supporting the customer throughout installation, commissioning and operation, ensuring that the system performs reliably from day one.
A big thank you to everyone involved in making this project a success, especially ๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฉ, ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฉ๐ก๐ ๐
