Siemens Energy has signed a long-term preventive maintenance contract with the Egyptian Ethylene and Derivatives Company (ETHYDCO), for its industrial complex in Alexandria, Egypt.
Siemens Energy will provide
the manufacturer of petroleum products, with a 10-year service contract
covering three Siemens SGT-800 industrial gas turbines, which have been in
operation since 2017.
As part of the agreement, Siemens Energy’s
Industrial Applications team will deliver the full spectrum of turnkey outage services,
spare parts and repairs for the gas turbines, which are an essential component
of the company’s production processes. Currently, the power plant produces 150 megawatts
(MW) of electricity to power ETHYDCO’s petrochemical complex in Alexandria,
which is the largest in Africa.
The collaboration between ETHYDCO and
Siemens Energy will allow the technical teams to conduct all preventive checks,
while unnecessary downtime is minimized.
“As a key contributor to the petrochemical
and downstream industries in Egypt, we focus on strengthening the all-round
efficiency and safety standards of our plants,” said Ayman El-Shafei, Maintenance
General Manager at ETHYDCO. “Reducing unplanned downtime and increasing the
operational workflow is critical towards achieving our production targets. The
long-term preventive service agreement with Siemens Energy is aligned with our
strategy.”
Siemens Energy’s preventive maintenance
solution improves the reliability and availability of the gas turbines by
extending the duration between maintenance intervals, thus leading to lower
operational costs. In addition, the preventive maintenance will help deliver additional
environmental benefits, by reducing annual carbon dioxide emissions.
“This latest agreement with ETHYDCO is representative
of our growing relationship and symbolic of the benefits that Siemens Energy’s
service offerings can provide, not just in terms of operational and availability
improvements, but also in terms of environmental benefits, with reduced
emissions,” said Ashraf Hamasa, Head of Service
& Digital Business Unit at Siemens Energy in Egypt.
