Siemens Energy has been selected by a joint venture between Saipem and McDermott to supply emissions-reducing power generation equipment and boil-off gas compressors for the Mozambique project.
Siemens Energy will also supply six SGT-800 industrial gas turbines that will be used for low-emissions onsite power generation. The turbine rating selected for the project is 54MW, with a gross efficiency of 39%. It has a robust, dry low-emission (DLE) combustion system that enables world-class emission performance over a wide load range.
According to a statement from the company, Siemens Energy is to supply four centrifugal compressors for boil-off gas (BOG) service. A stand-out feature of the compressor is the inlet guide vane (IGV) system it possesses that allow optimisation of power consumption according to changes in operational parameters like inlet temperature and outlet pressure.
The compressors are scheduled for delivery in 2021 while the gas turbines will be delivered in the second half of 2021 and the first half of 2022.
The executive Vice President for Siemens Energy Industrial Applications, Thorbjoern Fors said, “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.”
“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.”
The Senior Vice President Industrial Applications Products for Siemens Energy, Arja Talakar said, “We’re proud to be part of this important project as a supplier of reliable, fieldproven rotating equipment that will help contribute to the long-term economic growth of Mozambique and the prosperity of its citizens.”
The order for equipment from Siemens succeeds a recent agreement between Total and Siemens Energy to advance new concepts for low-emissions LNG production. Under the terms of the contract, the Energy company is conducting studies to explore a variety of possible liquefaction and power generation plant designs, with the goal of decarbonising LNG facility development and operation.
