Siemens To Supply CHP Plant To Belarus
Erlangen, Germany Siemens Power Generation (PG) is to supply a gas-fired Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant to Belarus. The order for the SSC-300 Cogen plant has a value of more than EUR10 million.
The PG supply will cover a complete compact power plant comprising two SGT-300 gas turbines, two heat-recovery boilers, low voltage system, medium voltage system and an automatic control system. Customer is PJSC Grodno Azot, the largest chemical manufacturer in Belarus, and one of the largest in Europe. The company will thus be able to produce economically its own steam and electricity for its production and export of fertilizers, chemicals and consumer goods. Commissioning is scheduled to take place early 2008.
The order represents not only a breakthrough for Siemens industrial plant on the Belarus market, but also a global market breakthrough for the SSC-300 Cogen plant, which is a new concept. It is a modularized small CHP plant which delivers 7.5 MW of electrical power output and 19 tons/h of steam. Its pre-engineering concept introduces a high degree of standardization, leading to high reliability and quality and reduced lead times. The total efficiency rate for the SSC-300 plant to be delivered is 90.3 percent, significantly higher than current levels.
Jan-Erik Ryden, head of the Siemens Industrial Gas Turbines subdivision within PG, comments on the order: "This is an important first reference for Siemens offering their small industrial gas turbines as part of an integrated solution for an industrial process business. Bringing together a modern, high-efficiency product from our UK facility with engineering and project management skills from our Swedish site, we have managed to supply an exact fit to the Customer requirements."
