France’s Alstom has signed a contract, valued at around €40 million, with Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) to supply six top-mounted combustor chambers equipped with Alstom’s EV burner technology.
The new combustors will be installed in the customer’s gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant, Power Station 3, at Manama, Bahrain, stated a press release.
In the first phase of the project, upgrading of one gas turbine will be completed by June 2004 after being performed during a scheduled major inspection to keep downtime to a minimum. Five other upgrades will then be carried out on the power station's remaining gas turbines – one or two being planned for completion each year.
Alstom is an international supplier of energy and transport infrastructure. The company serves the energy market through its activities in the fields of power generation, power transmission and distribution and power conversion, and the transport market through its activities in rail and marine. — (menareport.com)
