Rolls-Royce continues to strengthen its position in important Asian energy markets with two new orders for industrial gas turbine equipment from Thailand.
PTT has selected Rolls-Royce industrial gas turbines for two separate gas transmission projects in Thailand. The first order is for two RB211 gas compression packages for the Arthit offshore platform in the Gulf of Thailand.
Operated by PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Ltd. (PTTEP), the two units will deliver gas to PTT’s onshore gas separation plant via a transmission pipeline.
The second Thai order is for three RB211 Dry Low Emissions mechanical drive packages for an onshore compressor station at Rayong operated by PTT Public Company Ltd.
The units, ordered on behalf of PTT by MAN Ferrostaal Industrieanlagen GmbH, will drive compressor trains for onshore gas transmission and will increase pipeline capacity to help meet future growth in demand for gas in Thailand.
Once installed at the Rayong station, they will operate alongside seven previously installed Rolls-Royce Avon and RB211 gas turbine packages.
Dan Pedley, Managing Director of Rolls-Royce (Thailand) Limited, said: “Both these projects are key components of PTT’s gas pipeline master plan. We are delighted to have this opportunity in the Energy sector to further strengthen our relationship with industry in Thailand.”
Adrian Smith, Regional Sales Director of the Rolls-Royce energy business, added: “We are excited to be a part of these projects which continue to expand the presence of Rolls-Royce gas turbine equipment in the important Asian energy market. There are already 21 Rolls-Royce units in service across Thailand.”
Rolls-Royce will assemble all the turbine packages at their Mount Vernon, Ohio facility with delivery during 2006.
