The plant is set to meet the requirements of the new refinery and petrochemical complex under development at the Duqm Special Economic Zone in Oman, complementing the country's economic diversification plan and focus on building up its industrial sector. The Siemens scope of supply includes a combined cycle power plant consisting of five SGT-800 industrial gas turbines, five SST-300 industrial steam turbines, and the corresponding control system. Additionally, the project scope includes Siemens' cybersecurity solutions to improve asset visibility, reliability and security, while decreasing operation and maintenance costs.
Eng. Abdullah Al Hashimi, Project Director of DIPWP, said: "Oman aims to build a robust and diversified energy system that can support its long-term, sustainable economic development. We are committed to supporting the country in realizing this vision with projects that set new standards in efficiency and reliability, and can serve as blueprints for other national and regional projects. We are pleased to partner with Siemens on this significant project that will support the industrial zones in the country while preserving natural resources."
"This is the biggest order ever Siemens achieved in Oman for medium-size gas turbines and the first one in Oman for our SGT-800. Currently, Siemens supports the generation of more than half of Oman's power supply, enabling the country to optimize gas consumption," said Jean-Claude Nasr, Senior Executive Vice President, Power Generation at Siemens in the Middle East and North Africa. "Siemens reiterates its firm commitment to continue its support to the growing Omani market with focus on the expansion of localization and Omanisation in the long term, strengthening the country's economy and creating more jobs for the Omanis," Nasr added.
"The advanced monitoring and diagnostics services provided to Duqm plant will help maximize performance, lower operating costs and deliver better and more reliable business outcomes for the plant operator," added Claudia Massei, CEO of Siemens Oman. "We are looking forward to contributing further to Oman's long-term energy and water strategy, in a sustainable manner."
