GE turbocompressor packages for Enagas
Posted: 4 November 2003
GE Oil & Gas will supply two gas turbine-driven turbocompressor
packages to Enagas of Madrid for the expansion of the Córdoba
compression station, a new gas pipeline compression station in southern
Spain.
Each of the two GE turbocompressor packages will include a GE 10/2
gas turbine equipped with a dry low emissions system, and a PCL
502 centrifugal compressor.
The scope of GE's contract also includes erection, commissioning
and start-up of the units, and spare parts.
The equipment will be shipped from GE Oil & Gas facilities
in Italy to the project site starting in the fourth quarter of 2003,
with commercial operation scheduled for the first quarter of 2005.
GE Oil & Gas also supplied three similar turbocompressor packages
for phase one of the Córdoba compression station, and recently
provided another turbocompressor package with a PGT5 gas turbine
for the expansion of the Banyeres compression station. Total output
of the Córdoba station will be approximately 44 megawatts.
The new compression station will boost the flow of natural gas
coming from the Huelva regasification plant through the Huelva-Sevilla-Córdoba
pipeline, and gas coming from Algeria through the Magreb subsea
pipeline and the Tarifa-Córdoba pipeline.
This gas will be transported to Portugal through the Córdoba-Portugal
pipeline, and to the north of Spain through the existing Córdoba-Madrid
pipeline as well as a new Córdoba-Madrid pipeline now under
construction.
Enagas, a leading natural gas transportation company in Spain,
owns gas pipeline and transportation networks, regasification plants
and gas storage facilities across the country.
GE Oil & Gas, a unit of GE Power Systems, is headquartered
in Florence, Italy, the home of Nuovo Pignone, a long-time global
leader in gas compression and turbogeneration products.
GE acquired ownership of Nuovo Pignone in 1994 and since then has
continued to expand its oil and gas business by acquiring or developing
partnerships with other technology and experience leaders in the
industry.
Other companies that are part of GE Oil & Gas include Gemini,
GE Packaged Power Odessa, Rotoflow, A-C Compressor and Conmec, all
of the United States; Thermodyn of France; and PII Pipeline Solutions
of the United Kingdom.
