The reasons that moved ICS to carry forward a trigeneration plant are the following :
To attain a great reduction in the energy costs through the installation of the cogeneration plant.

A big energy central will be installed for generating heat, cold and electricity. This central will include a 3,8 MW gas turbine to produce 15 t/h of satured steam at 12 bar and 3-4 MW(e) as a maximum, a conventional boiler for peak saving and a absorption chiller of 5 MW(c).
Exhaust fumes at 500 deg. C are introduced in a steam generator with postcombustion to produce 15 t/h. This steam will feed two consumptions. First of two will be the general network to provide primmaty fluid to all the existing exchangers in the different buildings. Second consumption will be the absorption chiller.
Another cooling general network will be installed with cold water at 7 deg. C and turning back to different chillers at 12 deg. C.
A data acquisition and computerized control system will be introduced in order to obtain a permanent work of the turbine and the absorption chiller and using present compression systems as peak savings (connected with the general cooling network).
