Siemens Energy tapped to supply equipment for gas storage project in Uzbekistan
Each train will feature a high-efficiency,
single-casing DATUM centrifugal compressor directly driven by an SGT-750
industrial gas turbine (41 MW ISO).
The project marks the first application of the SGT-750 turbine in
Uzbekistan. The SGT-750 turbine’s DLE combustion system offers world-class
emission performance and fuel flexibility over a broad load range. The turbine can
achieve single-digit NOₓ emission levels down to a 20% load and does not
require a speed-increasing gearbox.
Waste heat recovery units (WHRU) will be installed on both trains to
capture thermal energy from the turbine’s exhaust and supply hot water for
onsite heating.
“The Gazli Underground Gas Storage project is of strategic importance to
Uzbekistan and will play a critical role in sustainably meeting the country’s
domestic energy demand,” said Thorbjoern Fors, Executive Vice President for
Siemens Energy Industrial Applications. “Our in-country presence and ability to
provide maintenance and support to the equipment using local content were also
integral to this key project win.”
“In addition to its low emissions profile, the EPC selected the SGT-750
gas turbine based on its shaft power and high availability,” said Arja Talakar, Senior Vice President,
Industrial Applications Products for Siemens Energy. “This will allow the
end-user to meet full flow requirements in both the summer and winter months
with just two compression trains when three would normally be required.”
As part of the agreement, Siemens Energy will also provide financing for
90% of the contract value.
The gas turbines will be manufactured in Finspong, Sweden. The
compressors will be manufactured in Le Havre, France. Commissioning of the
trains is slated for late 2021.
With a low environmental footprint, the SGT-750 gas turbine is designed to incorporate the size and weight advantages of the aeroderivative gas turbine while maintaining the robustness, flexibility, and longevity of a traditional heavy-duty gas turbine.
