price for the scope being supplied exceeds US$120 million.
Te compressor trains will be manufactured in
Le Havre, France and Olean, New York; the gas turbine generator sets will be engineered by Dresser- Rand’s Kongsberg gas turbine packaging center of excellence. Dresser-Rand booked these orders in March 2010. “We are very pleased that we have been selected to supply the critical rotating equipment for these important projects. Leveraging our global presence and world-class singular processes, our teams in Houston, Le Havre, Kongsberg and Kuala Lumpur worked closely with our clients’ teams on selecting the best technology to meet application requirements and offer single-source solutions for compression and power generation,” said Jesus Pacheco, Dresser-Rand’s executive vice president, New Equipment Worldwide.
Among the equipment being supplied will be some of the highest density re-injection compressors ever built, such as the 550 bar units to compress a 35+ mole weight natural gas/carbon dioxide blended stream, as well as carbon dioxide compressors to re-inject carbon dioxide to over 300 bar (4350 psi) pressure. Tese vessels will be capable of handling oil production and treatment of approximately 100 000–120 000 barrels per day and have gas compression capabilities of up to 150 million standard cubic feet per day. Dresser-Rand has also just opened its new Gas
Engine Technology Centre (GETC) in Colorade. Te new centre focuses on technologies for reducing emissions and improving automation and reliability among reciprocating engines used in natural gas production and transmission. Administered by the company’s Enginuity business unit, the GETC comprises an engineering and development staff, catalyst management and support facility, aftermarket support operation, and expanded warehouse capacity. “Te world is waking up to the fact,” said Chad
Complete Control in Hazardous Areas ATEX compliant solution providers
Fletcher, general manager, “that reducing emissions such as hazardous air pollutants and greenhouse gas, as well as improving efficiency of machinery and equipment, are simply the right things to do.” Dresser-Rand not only addresses such issues with
its controls, automation equipment, and aftermarket services, but also with the design and construction of its new facility. Low volatile organic compound carpeting, energy-saving lighting, and use of recycled materials throughout the centre exceed local and national standards. Te company currently operates manufacturing facilities in the United States, France, UK, Germany, Norway, India, and China, and maintains a network of 35 service and support centres covering more than 140 countries. Another major supplier, Alstom, has signed a contract worth approximately €20 million with GS Power Co. Ltd to upgrade two gas turbines at the Anyang gas-fired combined-cycle power plant located on the outskirts of Seoul, South Korea. Tis follows a contract signed in February 2009 to upgrade the first two gas turbines. Te contracts form part of a frame agreement signed in February 2009 for the upgrade of all four of the plant’s gas turbines and the supply of one set of spare parts, with work scheduled to begin in April 2010 and the upgrades scheduled for completion in 2011. Te scope of the project includes the upgrade of each GT11N type gas turbine to GT11NM XP (extended power), associated auxiliary services and spare parts, including new turbine blades and vanes, heat shield segments, vane carrier, and exhaust gas housing, leading to an increase in efficiency and in power output of more than 10 per cent without increased emissions.
Te Alstom-built Anyang combined-cycle power plant has been in commercial operation since 1992. With four GT11N gas turbines and one steam turbine, the plant currently has an overall capacity of 478 MW. A portion of the generated process steam is also used for district heating. l
