Compressor station of fuel gas for the factory gas turbine power plant of JSC Systemic Aluminum has been prepared for the operation

2 November 2018

At the site of factory for aluminum extrusion production (JSC Systemic Aluminum), which located in Krymsk of Krasnodar Territory, there is being created autonomous power supply complex – gas turbine power plant with capacity of 4.7 MW. The GTPP for own needs is based on Taurus 60 turbine manufactured by the Solar Turbines Inc.

Power supply complex is equipped with an Enerproject compressor station (CS) of type EGS-S-150/335WA. The CS with rated capacity of 4,236 m3 / h is designed for compression and supply of fuel gas under pressure of 1.5 MPa (g) into gas-turbine power generating unit.



Previously, this CS was operated in France, and then was in long-term storage. After movement to other facility, the unit was reconstructed taking into account the changed operating conditions. This task was solved by service specialists of ENERGAS Group – the official partner of the Swiss company Enerproject SA in Russia.

At the first stage, a technical audit of compressor, process and electrical equipment was carried out; the input and output pipelines were inspected; the scope of work was determined, and the schedule for their implementation was agreed upon.

At the second stage, engineers of ServicENERGAS LLC have conducted restoration work with replacement of consumables and defective parts. There was installed new software, connected and configured automated control system of CS. Local ACS is integrated with the upper level of the APCS of the gas turbine power plant.

There were added new set points and protections. CS underwent pressure testing with nitrogen for the checking all assemblies and joints for tightness. There was performed set of start-up and adjustment works.



Reconstruction and adjusting were completed with own (individual) tests and a 72-hour comprehensive testing as a part of the GTPP. There has been checked the operability of all the components and systems. The compressor station has operated in a routine mode, without any complaints.

Under the terms of the contract, the project was implemented as soon as possible.
