Siemens Energy to help Total achieve low-emission goals for largest LNG project in Africa
As part of the contract,
Siemens Energy will supply six SGT-800 industrial gas turbines that will be
used for low-emissions onsite power generation.
With more than eight million total fleet
operating hours and more than 400 units sold, the SGT-800 turbine is ideally
suited for power generation, particularly in LNG applications, where
reliability and efficiency are critical. The 54MW turbine rating selected for
this project has a gross efficiency of 39 percent. It is equipped with a
robust, dry low-emission (DLE) combustion system that enables world-class
emission performance over a wide load range.
“Mozambique LNG is the country’s first
onshore LNG development project and will play a key role in meeting the
increasing demand for energy in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Indian
sub-continent markets,” said Thorbjoern Fors, Executive Vice President for
Siemens Energy Industrial Applications. “We look forward to
helping Total drive toward the lowest possible plant emissions profile and
contributing to its goal of delivering clean, reliable energy to customers
across the globe.”
Siemens Energy will also
supply four centrifugal compressors for boil-off gas (BOG) service. A key
feature of these compressors is the inlet guide vane (IGV) system that allows
for optimization of power consumption according to
changes in operational parameters such as inlet temperature and outlet
pressure.
The gas turbines are slated for delivery in
the second half of 2021 and the first half of 2022. The delivery of the
compressors is scheduled for 2021.
“We’re proud to be part of this important
project as a supplier of reliable, field-proven rotating equipment that will
help contribute to the long-term economic growth of Mozambique and the
prosperity of its citizens,” said Arja Talakar, Senior Vice President, Industrial Applications Products for
Siemens Energy.
The equipment order for the Mozambique LNG
project comes on the heels of a recent agreement between Total and Siemens Energy
to advance new concepts for low-emissions LNG production. As part of the
contract, Siemens Energy is conducting studies to explore a variety of possible
liquefaction and power generation plant designs, with the goal of decarbonizing
LNG facility development and operation.
The SGT-800 gas turbines that will be used for this project are equipped with a robust, dry low-emission combustion system that enables world-class emission performance over a wide load range.
