Indonesian Facility Turns To GE For Compressors

Indonesian Facility Turns To GE For Compressors

GE Oil & Gas received a contract to supply gas turbine-driven compressors
for the Tangguh facility, which is expanding to increase its liquefied
natural gas (LNG) production by an additional 3.8 million tons per annum
(mtpa).

The facility, located in the Papua Barat Province of Indonesia, will have a
11.4 mtpa capacity when the third natural gas liquefaction train is
installed. GE Oil & Gas provided the first two trains nearly 15 years ago
during the plant's debut in the region.

The train, comprised of the components of the turbo compressor strings, will
be assembled at GE's facilities in Greenville, South Carolina and Florence,
Italy. The low-pressure/medium-pressure mixed refrigerant (MR) string will
include one horizontally split centrifugal compressor for low-pressure MR
and one barrel type centrifugal compressor for medium-pressure MR, driven by
a GE MS7001EA gas turbine and a helper/starter steam turbine.

The propane/high-pressure MR string will include one horizontally split
centrifugal compressor with side streams for propane and one barrel
centrifugal compressor for high-pressure MR, driven by a GE MS7001EA gas
turbine and a helper/starter steam turbine. GE Oil & Gas will also supply a
heat recovery steam generator for each of the two strings.

The equipment, which also features advanced sensors and monitoring products,
will ship to Indonesia in mid 2018.
