Peter Brotherhood Ltd to supply two steam turbine driven alternator sets for FPSO vessel

Oil, Gas & Petrochem Equipment

Bergesen d.y. ASA, one of the largest shipping companies in the world, has chosen UK engineering company Peter Brotherhood Ltd to supply two steam turbine driven alternator sets for a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel for Woodside's Chinguetti field off the coast of Mauritania.

The two 24 MW condensing steam turbine driven alternator sets designed and manufactured by the company will be the largest steam turbines for a FPSO vessel.

Each set will consist of a turbine, gearbox and alternator, 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.

The two steam turbine driven alternator sets will be tested on steam at Peter Brotherhood's manufacturing facility and will be delivered to Singapore for installation on the top deck of the FPSO vessel in February 2005. Engineers from Peter Brotherhood will be employed to commission the machines on board the vessel.
