Siemens Energy receives contract to supply turbo compressors and gas turbines for LNG project

Malaysia LNG, a subsidiary of Petronas, has selected Siemens Energy to procure turbocompressors and mechanical drive gas turbines for its liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Sarawak, East Malaysia. The scope of the contract covers engineering, manufacturing, and testing of one tandem-casing, cryogenic-temperature boil-off gas turbocompressor and one single-casing LNG-refrigerant turbocompressor. Both compressors will be driven by Siemens SGT-700 mechanical drive gas turbines. The project is likely to be completed by April 2014 and will start operations in October 2014.
