By Fakhri Vakilov – Trend:
The Siemens company' branch in Russia will supply equipment for the booster compressor station at the Uchkyr field in the Bukhara region of Uzbekistan, Trend reports citing Uzbek media.
For the first time, two units will be delivered, each of which includes a compressor and gas turbine unit.
The assembly of compressors was established at the production site in Russian Leningrad region, where technical equipment tests were carried out for the first time. SGT-400 gas turbines are packaged by Siemens in the Netherlands.
“The Uchkyr field in Uzbekistan stands out with an admixture of hydrogen sulfide of about 1.4 percent in the process gas. This is a dangerous gas that reacts with metals, which causes corrosion deposits on the parts of the flow section of compressors. This often leads to the equipment being out of service. Therefore, the main task was to select materials that are resistant to such effects for compressors,” director of the Oil and Gas division of Siemens in Russia, Nikolai Kutsenko said.
Siemens AG is a German concern working in the field of electrical engineering, electronics, power equipment, transport, medical equipment and lighting, as well as specialized services in various fields of industry, transport and communication. Headquarters in Berlin and Munich.
