Somerset Pilot Plant

Valdes Engineering Company (VEC) is proud to be a part of what is happening in Somerset, Mass. The project is a Pilot Plant for GreatPoint Energy. The Pilot Plant will test GreatPoint's coal gasification process, a process that makes pipeline grade natural gas from coal, petcoke, or other feedstock. The process is part of the solution to provide the world with environmentally friendly energy, or green energy. GreatPoint came to VEC with the technology. VEC provided the technology transfer in the form of this Pilot Plant. The project, located adjacent to the Brayton Point Power Station, broke ground in February and is scheduled to start-up this fall.
