Most powerfu steam turbines for an FPSO

摘要

Fred. Olsen Production ASA has chosen UK engineering company Peter Brotherhood Ltd to supply two condensing steam turbine-driven generator sets for the Knock Allan FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading), scheduled to operate on the Olowi field off the coast of Gabon. The turbines are said to be the world's most powerful to be installed on an FPSO vessel. Each of the two 27MW sets consists of a turbine, gearbox and generator, all mounted on a common bedplate which incorporates the oil system. The turbines will accept steam from gas fired boilers on the vessel and will exhaust to a separate condenser also supplied by Peter Brotherhood.
