JACKSONVILLE, Fla.,
Feb. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- APR
Energy, a global leader in fast-track power solutions, announces
today that it has commissioned its new power plant in Egypt. The plant will support development of a
large-scale industrial complex being built for the Egyptian
Ethylene and Derivatives Company (ETHYDCO), a manufacturer and
leading provider of value-creating plastics and rubber
products.
APR Energy's turnkey solution features three GE aeroderivative
mobile gas turbines running on clean-burning natural gas, together
with the associated balance of plant. As standard with its
full-service package, APR Energy handled all design, installation
and commissioning work for the plant, and will continue to manage
all ongoing operation and maintenance. The plant will run for a
minimum of 12 months.
"This is a major project for Egypt's growing industrial sector, and we are
pleased to have APR Energy as our power generation partner," said
ETHYDCO Chairman Abd-el Rahman Zeid.
"Due to our need for a reliable and cost-efficient natural gas
solution, their mobile gas turbines were the best fit to meet our
critical electricity needs. We have been impressed with the speed
and flexibility APR Energy has demonstrated in delivering our
unique project requirements on time, and appreciate the
responsiveness its people have shown during every stage of the
process."
John Campion, APR Energy
Chairman, said, "I want to congratulate our installation and
commissioning team for safely and efficiently delivering our newest
power plant on-time, per customer requirements. The project is
significant in that it gives us a foothold in one of the largest
markets in the region and supports one of Egypt's most strategic industrial investments.
It also builds upon our experience in the industrial space, further
diversifying our customer base and complementing the strong success
that we have had in the utility segment."
Campion added, "APR Energy's Egyptian power plant exemplifies
the use of mobile gas turbines as an affordable self-power solution
for customers in energy-intensive industries such as
petrochemicals, mining, EPC and oil and gas. Our turnkey solutions
not only provide a highly-reliable source of power to keep critical
operations running, but also enable customers to focus on their
core business rather than worrying about power generation."
