- Using
proven software and hardware, Siemens has developed a unique workplace
distancing solution that helps manufacturers to simulate and manage employee
exposure risks while enabling productivity throughout their facilities
- Combination
of Siemens’ SIMATIC Real Time Locating Systems and Xcelerator portfolio help
enable customers to manufacture with confidence and future-proof their
operations
Manufacturers are facing new challenges as
they look to restart or maintain operations during the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic. As preparations are made for the “next normal”, manufacturers must
consider additional dimensions of employee safety, including the establishment
of production environments and workflows that address physical distancing
requirements. Combining proven hardware and software, Siemens has created a new
solution that enables companies to quickly and efficiently model how employees
interact with each other, the production line and plant design. The new
solution also enables organizations to build an end-to-end digital twin, in
order to simulate worker safety, iterate on and optimize workspace layouts and
validate safety and efficiency measures to help future-proof production lines.

- Green hydrogen project launched in May 2020
- Decarbonizing a paper factory by modernizing an existing combined heat and power plant in France
With the HYFLEXPOWER project, a consortium made up of Engie Solutions, Siemens Gas and Power, Centrax, Arttic, German Aerospace Center (DLR) and four European universities are implementing a project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 Framework Program for Research and Innovation (Grant Agreement 884229). The implementation of this project, the world's very first industrial-scale power-to-X-to-power1 demonstrator with an advanced hydrogen turbine, will be launched at Smurfit Kappa PRF’s site - a company specialized in manufacturing recycled paper - in Saillat-sur-Vienne, France. The purpose of this project is to prove that hydrogen can be produced and stored from renewable electricity and then added with up to 100 percent to the natural gas currently used with combined heat and power plants. For this an existing Siemens SGT-400 industrial gas turbine will be upgraded to convert stored hydrogen into electricity and thermal energy.
Siemens Gas and Power has been selected to supply a range of compression and power generation equipment for the Balikpapan Refinery located on Borneo Island in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
- Siemens Gas and Power will supply three boil-off gas compressor trains to the Golden Pass LNG export terminal
- A 6.8-megawatt electric motor will drive each compressor package
Siemens Gas and Power was awarded a contract from CCZ JV (a joint venture between Chiyoda International Corporation, McDermott International, and Zachry Group) to supply three cryogenic boil-off gas (BOG) compressor trains for the Golden Pass LNG export terminal in Sabine Pass, Texas, USA. The export facility is a joint venture between affiliates of Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil and will be integrated into the existing Golden Pass LNG import terminal.
