- GE’s Electrical Package Provides Power
During Unexpected Power Outage, Ensuring Uninterrupted Operation
and High Productivity of the Refinery Complex
- Leveraging from the GE Store, GE is at
the Forefront of Providing Integrated and Enhanced Solutions,
Increasing Value for Customers
The majority of world’s largest refineries are situated in the
Asia Pacific region. With 4 million barrels of oil produced per day
by the top five refineries in the region1, Asia’s growing
importance as both an energy source and destination market is
clear.
Located in Johor, the development of PETRONAS’ Pengerang
Integrated Complex (PIC) will soon give a boost to the region’s
energy output. Upon completion, PIC’s refinery will be able to
produce 300,000 barrels of oil per day, while the petrochemical
plants will produce 7.7 million metric tons of various chemical
products per year2.
Through a strategic partnership with Prime Sourcing
International (PSI), a subsidiary of Petroliam Nasional Berhad
(PETRONAS) group, GE (NYSE:GE) will supply 17 Emergency Diesel
Generator (EDG) packages, five transportable switch rooms and the
electrical balance of plant. The equipment will be provided by
various GE businesses, showcasing the strength of the GE Store.
Each EDG package will consist of 616 diesel engines provided by
GE’s Distributed Power business, which will be coupled with the
generators and electrical equipment bounded in e-houses.
The 616 diesel engines play a critical role in enabling
uninterrupted operation to ensure high productivity. These
generators will be switched on to provide continuous power if the
complex experiences an unexpected power shutdown. Integrated into
one single package by GE’s Power Conversion business, GE's 616
diesel generator set addresses the most critical application
challenges with advanced reciprocating engine technology. It
combines and enhances the proven technology of the Jenbacher J616
gas engine with the P616 locomotive diesel engine from GE
Transportation—bringing together the best of both worlds to
increase efficiency and productivity. The integrated package has a
more compact design. While the low component count means less
installation cost and higher system reliability, the modular design
also brings flexibility to the plant layout, thus helping optimize
plant design.
“This is an important project for us and for our customer. It
not only marks the largest 616 diesel order in Malaysia for GE, but
it also is the first in the country,” said Heiner Markhoff,
president and CEO, Water and Distributed Power for GE Power. “By
leveraging the broad capabilities of the GE Store, we are able to
provide a unique competitive advantage by using our proven
technology across industries to provide our customers with the best
possible solution to meet their needs.”
“Engaging and leveraging different strengths from across GE
businesses through the GE Store, we are able to offer core
technologies to the marketplace faster and increase value for our
customers,” said Francesco Falco, global sales leader, GE’s Power
Conversion business. “Today, the industry is an exciting place to
be. Emerging technologies and newly built energy infrastructure are
changing the way we live. We are proud to be a part of this
journey, helping re-shape the world’s energy landscape.”
