Siemens Gas and Power were chosen to supply various compression equipment and power plants for the Balikpapan refinery located in East Kalimantan which is operated by PT Pertamina (Persero).
Siemens Gas and Power
"Siemens Gas and Power is proud to partner with Pertamina on this project," said Matthew China Executive Vice President of New Equipment Solutions for Siemens Energy Oil & Gas Division.
According to him, the good performance of his compressor fleet across the region and strong domestic service capability were the main factors of this strategic victory.

"These two factors, coupled with the performance, efficiency, and reliability of the SGT-800 gas turbine, allow for cost savings in the expansion of the Balikpapan refinery and also contribute to the success of Pertamina's RDMP, this certainly plays an important role in increasing Indonesia's energy security," he explained.
Siemens equipment will be installed as part of the Refinery Development Master Project (RDMP) program. The RDMP development involves the construction of a residual fluid catalytic cracker (RFCC) unit designed with a capacity of 90,000 barrels per day (BPSD), LPG sulfur removal unit (SRU), propylene recovery unit (PRU), and middle distillate hydrotreater 80,000 BPSD. Siemens Gas and Power will supply 17 reciprocating compressors, along with a single step hot gas expander.
Meanwhile, the specific compressor models to be supplied include eight HHE-VL compressors, two HHE-FB compressors, four HHE-VG compressors, and three HSE compressors. In addition, Siemens Gas and Power will also supply four SGT-800 industrial gas turbines and five SST-600 steam turbines for Balikpapan power plants.
The hot gas expander will recover waste heat from the RFCC reactor to produce around 20 megawatts (MW) of power, which will be used to drive a central air blower from the plant, along with a single stream turbine.
This unique arrangement will reduce overall steam consumption and result in significant operational cost savings for Pertamina. HHE piston compressors will be used in various refinery processing units which can help ensure stable operation of the plant.
This compressor has a quality steel frame, so it can reduce vibrations transmitted to the connected pipes and provide maximum stability using internal ribbed walls and integral cross-member bearing saddle which is located between each crank throw.
