Hempel solution trusted for valve coating
For valve manufacturers whose equipment is specified across a wide variety of temperature ranges, selecting the right CUI coating brings some unique challenges.
Paint specifications may not be fully developed at the time of order, or may be quite complex, consisting of numerous temperature categories.
The ability to specify a single product, that meets a wide range of temperatures and provides the necessary level of corrosion protection, simplifies the process, giving you a considerable advantage.
Read here how HP Valves (Netherlands) made the most of this advantage on a recent Middle East desalination project.
The challenge
The UAE’s Jebel Ali M-Station takes power generation and desalination to remarkable levels, with an installed capacity of 2,060MW and 140 million imperial gallons of water per day (MIGD). The station is located within the Jebel Ali Power Plant and Desalination Complex, which accommodates six other stations and produces 7,800MW of electricity.
Located along the shore of the Arabian Gulf, adjacent to the Jebel Ali Free Zone, the plant is operated by Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) who recently chose the site for a significant capacity upgrade.
The solution
Keeping it simple brings results
The expansion project will involve the installation of two additional gas turbine generators, as well as two heat recovery steam turbine generators and one back pressure steam turbine and involves a multinational team of sub-contractors from Europe, Middle East and Asia.
Additionally, Siemens introduced its wet compression technology at Jebel Ali M-Station as a pilot project. This technology uses water injection to reduce the compressor inlet temperature, increasing the power output of a gas turbine without requiring additional fuel.
