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 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝟐𝟎 𝐌𝐖 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞, supporting both the ex*****on of the works and the operational readiness of the plant.
AITESA’s 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 𝟏,𝟒𝟎𝟎 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐎₂ 𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫.
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 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 before our arrival on site
Beyond installation, the visit focused on ensuring a smooth transition to operation.

Our specialists 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚́𝐥𝐞𝐳 𝐉𝐮𝐚𝐧 and 𝐙𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐫 provided comprehensive training to the plant operators, covering:
• Boiler operation and integration with the engine system
• Start-up and shutdown sequences
• Troubleshooting procedures
• Safety protocols related to overpressure and leak scenarios
• Water quality requirements and operational best practices
• 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 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐩, 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐚 𝐅𝐚𝐲𝐞 and 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜.
