The Heppner Power Plant is a 10 megawatt wood fired power plant that was formerly used as an energy source for a wood products plant.  The plant had been mothballed when the facility was closed.  When the Port of Morrow acquired the power plant they contracted to refurbish the equipment, replace some equipment that had been sold, and restart the plant as a power generation source.  The plant consists of a 120,000 pound per hour boiler supplying steam to a General Electric generator.

The fuel system had to be rebuilt as the former owner had sold most of that system.  A truck dump, hog, screen, radial stacker, fuel bin, and associated conveyors were supplied and installed.  The boiler was reconditioned and many of the tubes were replaced.  The generator was completely rebuilt.  The control system and electrical were upgraded and the complete plant was started up and put into operation.

• Design, supply, and installation of fuel handling system including:  truck dump, hog, screen, radial stacker, reclaim hopper, fuel storage bin, and associated conveyors.
• Rebuild of boiler including, some new tubes, acoustical soot cleaning, refractory repairs, instrumentation refurbish.
• Refurbish of precipitator, ID fan, and soot removal equipment.
• Complete rebuild of the turbine and generator.
