Besos thermal plant: La Catalana
Besos thermal plant, popularly known as thermal chimneys of the three was a conventional thermoelectric cycle facility located at the mouth of the River Besos in the Mediterranean Sea, between the municipalities of San Adrian de Besos and Badalona, in the Barcelona (Spain). It consisted of three thermal units of 350 MW each. It was built by Copisa between 1970 and 1976 and its facilities are owned by the company Fecsa-Endesa. It ceased its activity in 2011.
Besos thermal stood alongside other facilities occupied old power station conventional cycle, built in 1967 and whose demolition was completed in 2007.
In its initial design, fireplaces (90 m) were located immediately above the boiler (90 m), which reached a total approximate altitude of 180 meters. After several climate studies that placed the inversion layer around 170-190 m in the area of Barcelona, were due fireplace add 20 meters to overcome this climate problem, finally reaching 200 m. Hence, the last 20 meters differ from the rest by its metal construction. This very distinctive appearance makes them visible from a distance, part and the skyline of San Adrian and Badalona.
The company that owns the facility, Fecsa-Endesa, agreed with the institutions the transfer of the plant, and in March 2008 he was granted permission for the installation of a new combined cycle plant. This V Group, of 859 MW, gradually replaced the power plant San Adrian de Besós.6 The new combined cycle plant consists of two groups totaling 859 MW, fueled with natural gas and in special circumstances with fuel oil. 7
Look, first of Port Forum. In the background, from left to right, the incineration of San Adrián, the CCGT del Besos, thermal plant Besos 5 (still under construction) and thermal del Besos.
These renovations brought the closure of the old plant from 2010, and the possibility of demolition of the three flagship fireplaces. The municipality of San Adrián in November 2008 called for a referendum among residents about the possibility of maintaining the building and transform it into a social center, and 82.2% of the population voted in favor of the project.
In March 2011 it ceased trading, and Endesa began its dismantling, without having been finalized any plans about their future. However, residents formed a platform of defense of the building, calling for a plan of use to ensure their livelihoods.
