Siemens Water Solutions successfully installed and started up a Zimpro® wet air oxidation (WAO) system at a global petrochemical company’s olefins plant in the Southern U.S.
The order, received in November 2017, is the second Zimpro® wet air oxidation system supplied to the customer. The first system was supplied in 2004.
The Zimpro® WAO system will treat spent caustic generated in the production of ethylene by destroying odorous and high chemical oxygen demand (COD) pollutants. The system also generates an effluent that can be safely neutralized and sent to a biological treatment plant, where it is further treated for discharge.
Siemens Water Solutions addresses water and wastewater needs of the oil and gas industry with a portfolio that includes physical and chemical separation, biological treatment, and complex hydrothermal technologies.
- Fully integrated electric-drive centrifugal compression configuration will significantly reduce footprint, capital, and operating costs
- Project marks this Delaware Basin gas plant customer's first order with Siemens
Siemens was recently awarded a contract to provide three residue compression trains for two, 250 million (500 million total) standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) cryogenic gas plants in the Delaware Basin. The customer, a key producer in the region and long-term user of reciprocating compression equipment, recognized the benefits of centrifugal compression and looked to Siemens for a fully integrated, turnkey solution that includes compressors, motors, variable frequency drives, and associated process equipment.
- Replacement of gas turbine from another OEM with an SGT-800
- Installation of a SIESTART battery storage solution for blackstart capability
- Customized solution requires comprehensive engineering expertise
Siemens has received an order from BASF Schwarzheide GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of BASF SE, to modernize the industrial power plant in Schwarzheide, Germany with key components. The Brownfield Exchange project involves replacing a gas turbine from another original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with a new, highly efficient industrial gas turbine from Siemens as well as servicing this machine for a period of 15 years. In addition, Siemens will install a SIESTART battery storage solution that will enable the entire power plant to start up independently of an external power supply.
- Partnership will bring industrial cyber threats into a single view
- New integrated platform and first of kind OT managed service leverages analytics to centralize and unlock the value of security data
Siemens and Chronicle, an Alphabet company, today announced a new partnership to protect the energy industry's critical infrastructure from increasingly sophisticated and malicious industrial cyber threats at Spotlight on Innovation, Siemens flagship U.S. technology and innovation conference. Through a unified approach that will leverage Chronicle's Backstory platform and Siemens' strength in industrial cyber security, the combined offering gives energy customers unparalleled visibility across information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) to provide operational insights and confidentially act on threats.
Join Siemens at the 50th annual Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), May 6 – May 9 at NRG Park in Houston, TX, where Siemens' subject matter experts will share their insights on navigating the "new normal" in oil and gas and the digital revolution quietly transforming all industries.Harmful emissions and a global population of more than 1 billion who lack access to power are among the world's most pressing challenges. Siemens is effectively addressing both, by making fossil fuels cleaner, building out the vast transportation infrastructure required to move natural gas to destination markets, and effectively harnessing IoT solutions to maximize efficiency and reduce risks. Visit us at booth #4422 to learn more about how our carbon-cutting, efficiency-boosting, and data-exploiting solutions are transforming the energy sector and the world that relies on it.
Two technology teams were recognized today at the 50th annual Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) – Siemens BlueVault™ energy storage solutions and the Subsea Power Grid. Siemens is one of three companies to receive two Spotlight on New Technology (SONT) awards this year.
- Siemens will refurbish 30-year-old HVDC back-to-back system in the State of Madhya Pradesh in India
- Modernization will extend the lifetime to ensure reliable power supply
- First Siemens refurbishment project of a third-party HVDC system
Power Grid Corporation of India (POWERGRID), the Central Transmission Utility of India, has chosen Siemens to modernize the country's first and oldest high voltage direct current (HVDC) link, Vindhyachal. Located in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, the 500-megawatt HVDC back-to-back system was put into operation in 1989 to interconnect the asynchronous 400-kilovolt alternating current networks of the Northern and Western regions. By installing its latest HVDC components Siemens will extend the useful life of the link. This will be the first Siemens HVDC modernization project in India and globally the company's first refurbishment of a third-party system involving replacement of the thyristor valves. The upgrade is expected to be completed in 2021.
Arja Talakar has been appointed CEO of Siemens Oil & Gas, effective April 1, 2019. He will be based in Houston, Texas, the global headquarters for Oil & Gas and its parent operating company, Siemens Gas and Power.
- Siemens will supply three Dresser-Rand® 5HHE-VL-3NL reciprocating compressors for what will become the largest hydrogen production unit in the United States.
