Contracts
Multi million dollar re-rate award
Weir Power & Industrial have won a
multi-million dollar centrifugal
compressor re-rate project for Petronas
Carigali in Malaysia.
The contract includes design,
manufacture, assembly, test and
commission of aerodynamic and
rotating internals for three natural gas
centrifugal compressors on the Resak
platform, located in the South China
Sea, off the peninsular of Malaysia.
Petronas Carigali awarded the
significant re-rate project to a
professional service company for the
first time, rather than the original
equipment manufacturer.
In addition to the design and
manufacture of all components, Weir
will conduct performance tests at the
Barton on Humber facility in the UK.
