Siemens and its Dresser-Rand business will supply two gas turbine-driven compressor trains and two gas turbine generator packages for the Orpic’s Liwa Plastics Industries Complex, a major petrochemical project in Oman. The natural gas liquids extraction plant in Fahud, situated approximately 300 kilometers southwest of the capital of Muscat, is part of the industrial complex. The order was placed by the South Korean construction firm GS Engineering & Construction Corporation for the state-run oil refinery and petrochemical provider Orpic, which will operate the plant and the industrial complex. The LNG extraction plant is expected to go into operation in 2019 to extract valuable liquefied natural gases.
The extracted NGL from rich gas feed will be transported via a pipeline from Fahud to Sohar. LNG is the feedstock for the petrochemical complex in Sohar. The Liwa Plastics Industries Complex will turn LNG into polyethylene and polypropylene plastics.
