Siemens gas turbines selected for upgrade project with Ascend Performance Materials
With high exhaust heat and the ability to handle sudden load changes, the SGT-700 is ideal for simple cycle, combined cycle, cogeneration, and other heating applications.
The
LTP is scheduled for eight years. Under the terms, Siemens Gas and Power will
perform all scheduled outages for the duration of the program.
The
gas turbines will be manufactured in Siemens Gas and Power’s Finspång, Sweden plant in time for project commissioning, which is
expected in Q4 2021.
The
SGT-700 gas turbine, with a 6,500-rpm, two-stage uncooled free-power turbine
that may operate at 50 to 105 percent of its nominal shaft speed, is designed
for higher output and efficiency under a range of operating conditions. And
with its high exhaust heat and
ability to handle sudden load changes, the SGT-700 is ideal for simple cycle,
combined cycle, cogeneration, and other heating applications.
“Ascend Performance Materials knew that gen-sets
would help them meet their future power generation needs while also lowering
their emissions,” said Gabriel Popescu, Vice President of Siemens Energy Oil
& Gas Services, North America. “They expressed that much of the reason they
selected Siemens Gas and Power is the confidence they have in us and our product. We have
supplied other power generation equipment to Ascend in the past, and we have
the manufacturing and logistics expertise to support their future power needs
within a very short delivery window.”
“This project is
transformational for our company, and we’re pleased to have Siemens Gas and
Power as our supplier,” said Phil McDivitt, President and CEO of Ascend. “Their
proven track record and our shared commitment to sustainability make Siemens
Gas and Power a natural choice for a partnership.”
