This installation was carried out for the Spanish government’s ministry of public works in 1965–6, with modifications up to 1969. The location is Ceuta, a Spanish enclave within Morocco. Krupp supplied all elements, which included a high-temperature steam generator and 4.3MW of power generation capacity from back-pressure turbines as well as two MSF units each with a production capacity of 2,400m3/d.
