Orbital UK awarded contracts to enhance fuel gas metering and compressor efficiency

Orbital Gas Systems Ltd has been awarded four contracts totalling approximately $4.58 million (£3.3 million) by a Tier 1 Engineering, Procurement and Construction firm in the UK.

The four-contract award was secured following many months of technical and commercial engagement that enabled the client to attain significant value from Orbital UK’s world class in-house capabilities, including integrating multiple packages and reducing client project delivery, technical and commercial risks.

The overall scope-of-works is for eight off-skids, including Filtration, Flow Control, Fiscal Metering, Supervisory PLC Metering, Gas Quality Measurement, Electric Heat Exchangers-Control and Specialist Lube Oil to Fuel Gas Heat Exchangers providing pre-heated natural gas to the solar gas turbines driving combustion efficiency.

Orbital UK will deliver solutions that include multiple high-pressure temperature measurements using its proprietary VE Technology Thermowellstogether with its GasPT‘Integrated Calorific Value Determination’analyzers to ensure minimal overall response times while also eliminating sample blending and enhancing safety, thereby resulting in unrivalled energy measurement. The environmental impact of the awards is also significantly reduced with a reduction in construction and operational activities to install and operate the GasPTanalyzers.

Paul White, president, Orbital UK, stated, “The award of this project from such a large and well-respected Tier 1 contractor after a months-long competitive bidding process that included presentations, negotiations and due diligence, confirms Orbital UK’s ability to deliver the highest quality integration services together with its unique and proprietary VE and GasPT technologies that are simply unavailable from other sources.
