Engine & Turbine Technology
Te company will also supply four gas turbines for the Hail Extension II and Al Qurayat Expansion II projects. Siemens Energy has also been awarded contracts
from Tailand for 16 SGT-800 industrial gas turbines for combined cycle cogeneration plants (CCCP) under Tailand´s small power producer programme (Fig. 1). Rolls-Royce has won new contracts valued at over US$110 million (€80 million) for energy projects in the Middle East, India, Africa and Europe.
Utilising gas fuel Two RB211 gas turbine power generation packages have been ordered by Total Oil to provide power to an oil facility in the Middle East, which will utilise gas fuel that would otherwise have been burned off, thereby increasing the efficiency of the operation. Two additional RB211 turbines, powering gas
compression packages, will be supplied to Slovenský Plynárenský Priemysel for use in a compressor station that is part of the company’s gas transmission network in Central Europe. Rolls-Royce has already provided five turbines to the gas transmission system, which last year enabled the network to deliver 66 billion m3 to homes and businesses.
Te company has also signed an agreement with
STX Engine of Korea, making it a packager of Rolls- Royce industrial gas turbine generating sets in the Asia Pacific region. Te agreement provides an enhanced route to
market for the latest Rolls-Royce industrial gas turbine, the RB211-H63, as well as the most powerful engine in its range, the Trent 60 gas turbine. Rolls-Royce will supply the RB211-H63 gas
generator, its RT63 power turbine and the Trent gas generator from its facilities in the USA and Canada, and will also be responsible for supporting the engines in the field. MAN Diesel & Turbo has added the 6-8MW output class to its portfolio of industrial gas turbines. A significant reduction in the emissions of nitrogen
oxide is ensured by state-of-the-art dry-low-NOx combustion chambers while at the same time an
efficiency level of 34 per cent guarantees optimum fuel utilisation with regard to carbon dioxide emissions and operating costs.
Tis turbine family will be mainly used as generator
drives in energy generation. As is the case with the company’s THM series, which has proven its capabilities over decades of operation, further possible applications include driving mechanical components, for example with compressors. A new test stand was built at the Oberhausen works
in Germany specifically for the comprehensive test runs of the prototype, which lasted several months. In addition to the test stand itself, the complete measurement facilities and instrumentation were fundamentally redesigned. Tus the period from ‘first fire’, the initial test run of the completely assembled unit, up to operation under full load took just one week.
of gas
Tis fact as well as further detailed tests successfully demonstrated the high load capacity of the turbine as well as the company’s considerable expertise in the field of testing and designing gas turbines. Te turbines are delivered as pre-mounted units on a base frame, complete with oil unit and ancillary units. Te prototype was initially designed as a twin-shaft type which will be followed by a single-shaft design and variants with further increased output. A modular design with unsplit casings creates the
prerequisites for an efficient and cost-optimised service life.
For its part, Turbogen is focused on the supply of modern, compact gas turbine gensets that use a strong, well tested Garret 1M 831/800 engine running on natural gas, fuel oil, propane and other fuels.
Dual fuel versions
Te engines can be supplied in dual fuel version and are able to switch from one fuel to the other at full load. Packages are supplied for use as stand-by operation, or for continuous duty. Cogeneration applications in either simple package, or turn-key plant, are designed exactly to customer requirements. ●
Heat recovery means cleaner energy B
abcock Power subsidiary Vogt Power International has won an award from Toshiba Plant Systems &
Services Corporation (TPSC) to supply the heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) for the Amata Nakorn ABP3 combined cycle cogeneration plant project located in the Mueang district, Chonburi province, Thailand. Vogt Power will design, engineer and
deliver two HRSGs with exhaust gas bypass systems to operate behind two Siemens

SGT800 gas turbines. In addition, a portion of the supply will be performed in Thailand through Babcock Power (Thailand), a Thailand sister company of Vogt Power. The HRSGs will be Vogt’s MSG design, which the company says incorporates the ultimate in shop pre-fabrication and assembly - thus minimising erection hours. Amata Power (Bangpakong) combined
cycle power plant is Amata Power’s second power plant in the Amata Nakorn industrial estate. This is the second phase
of the project, for which Vogt Power also supplied the HRSG for the combined cycle cogeneration power plant which has a generating capacity of 114 MW and began operation in October 2001. “We have experienced strong
international growth and look forward to increasing our market share in Asia. We are pleased to be working with Toshiba Plant Systems and Services on the Amata CCCP project,” said Steve Kapsalis, president and ceo of Vogt Power International.●
