ESG - Martel Plant Equipment List

Summary

The primary components for sale include the turbine, generator, and condenser. The Martel plant (also known as Sierra Pine Unit 1) was originally built, owned, and operated by Pacific Gas and Electric in 1985. It was later owned by American Forest Products and by Wheelabrator until its closure in approximately 2004. In 2006, it was purchased by ESG/Yellowstone Power for use at a planned biomass (wood burning) plant to be built in Idaho. In preparation for the Idaho project, the equipment was inspected, dismantled, crated as applicable, protected, and stored two locations in California. Recently the Idaho project was canceled; therefore the Martel equipment is available.

Prior to storage, the turbine was visually and non-destructively tested by Roger Meyer of Tetrad Services, Inc. and found to be in very good condition. Prior to storage the generator was inspected by ADA Generator Services, LCC (hired by Tetrad) and was found to be in good condition.

Currently the major equipment (turbine shell, rotor, generator, and condenser) are located in a warehouse in Sacramento, CA. Other support components (air ejector and governor) are located in Red Bluff, CA at the Tetrad Services shop.
