The first train will consist of a µÂÖÝÆË¿ËÔÚÏß SGT-750 gas turbine driving two Dresser-Rand DATUM compressors for feed and sales gas compression, combined with a µÂÖÝÆË¿ËÔÚÏß waste heat recovery unit for process heat. The second train will consist of a µÂÖÝÆË¿ËÔÚÏß electric motor-driven DATUM compressor for refrigeration compression with µÂÖÝÆË¿ËÔÚÏß variable frequency drive.
"µÂÖÝÆË¿ËÔÚÏß state-of-the-art SGT-750 gas turbine is the only twin-shaft engine in its power class with industry-leading fuel efficiency and one of the lowest emission profiles," said Patrice Laporte, Vice President, Oil & Gas for µÂÖÝÆË¿ËÔÚÏß America. "The train configuration achieved by coupling the SGT-750 with the highly efficient DATUM compressors provides an excellent solution for the Encana's Pipestone gas compression service."
The SGT-750 turbine has a proven track record of satisfied customers in both power generation and mechanical drive applications and is becoming an increasingly popular choice among facility operators. In 2015, µÂÖÝÆË¿ËÔÚÏß supplied three pipeline compressor trains driven by SGT-750 gas turbines to Central America-based Fermaca for its El Encino – La Laguna pipeline project. In 2017, China's largest acrylic producer, Zhejiang Satellite Energy Co., selected µÂÖÝÆË¿ËÔÚÏß to provide an SGT-750 gas turbine to drive two µÂÖÝÆË¿ËÔÚÏß STC-SH single-shaft compressors for Phase II of its propylene dehydration plant.
"We're providing all of the equipment for these two compression trains from one source, which lends testament to Encana's ongoing confidence in our equipment and µÂÖÝÆË¿ËÔÚÏß' capability to offer a one-stop solution to our customers," said Matthew Chinn, Executive Vice President New Equipment Solutions for µÂÖÝÆË¿ËÔÚÏß Oil and Gas. "Further to this, our solution is less capital intensive, due to the excellent attributes of the SGT-750 turbine's lower life cycle costs compared to competing turbines in the industry."
With maximized uptime and a low environmental emission footprint, the SGT-750 offers customers a lightweight industrial gas turbine designed and developed to incorporate the size and weight advantages of an aeroderivative gas turbine while maintaining the robustness, flexibility, and longevity of traditional heavy-duty industrial gas turbines.
The DATUM compressor line is known for its efficiency, reliability, and ease of maintenance which makes these compressors ideally suited for the un-spared feed / sales gas and refrigeration compression applications. In 2015, Encana purchased 10 DATUM compression trains for its Cutbank Ridge Program, designed for the long-term development of natural gas resources in Northeast British Columbia.
