Lakeview Generating Station - Boilers

Boilers

Units 1 & 2 had Babcock & Wilcox front-fired boilers and Parson turbines with a tandem cross compound arrangement (there were two 150 MW turbines - high/intermediate pressure and intermediate/low pressure) Each unit had two generators - one 3600 RPM, the other 1800 RPM.

Units 3 & 4 (1964–65) had boilers built by Combustion Engineering, with double tangentially fired furnaces. The tandem compound turbines were supplied by AEI (UK)

Units 5 & 6 (1965–66) had Babcock & Wilcox front-fired boilers and AEI tandem compound turbines.

Units 7 & 8 (1968) had Babcock & Wilcox front-fired boilers and Parsons tandem compound turbines.

At a cost of $274 million, Lakeview Generating Station had become the largest thermal-electric plant in the world when it was completed in 1968.
