An entire cogeneration plant was acquired, dismantled, and repurposed—without any cost to the original owner.
The Challenge: Simplify Closure, Unlock Value
When Pawtucket Power Associates made the decision to retire their cogeneration plant in Rhode Island, they were confronted with a costly and complicated process. The facility—anchored by a GE Frame 6B gas turbine—needed to be decommissioned, removed, and the site restored, all while minimizing financial exposure.
That’s where Phoenix Equipment came in. By acquiring the full facility at no cost, we took ownership of the entire process: equipment resale, removal, logistics, and cleanup —delivering a win-win outcome for all stakeholders.
What Phoenix Delivered
Our turnkey solution included:
- Complete acquisition of the facility and its components
- No-cost decommissioning for the site owner
- Resale of the GE Frame 6B turbine to a Rochester, NY energy producer
- Comprehensive dismantling and secure transportation
- Final delivery of a clean site
“From equipment sale to site removal, Phoenix executed everything with precision.”
— Site Engineer, Pawtucket Power Associates
Behind the Scenes: Step-by-Step Execution
Initial Phase: Structural Disassembly Begins
Phoenix crews commenced the project with carefully managed dismantling operations to provide safe turbine access.
Mid-Project: Equipment Secured for Transport
All major components, including the GE turbine, were prepped for safe and efficient shipment.
Final Phase: Site Restoration Complete
We delivered a fully broom-clean site—without the original owner incurring a single dollar in removal costs.
