For the construction of a new 36 MW power station on Das Island, Actemium Oil & Gas commissioned setec for civil engineering design and supervision, along with a number of process-related tasks.

The power station is an outdoor facility with a “black-start” function based on a GE Frame 6 turbine for both sweet and sour gas.

Challenges

Thanks to its expert thermodynamic tools, setec can produce and verify the design of combined cycle thermal power plants and initiate the call for tender process for the equipment.

Although equipment manufacturers guarantee performance, setec can carry out checks and ask the right questions to assure clients of a smooth contracting process.
