Rolls-Royce has received an order from Dhamra LNG Terminal to deliver 29 MW gas power plant for its LNG regasification terminal in Odisha. Dhamra LNG Terminal is a joint venture between the Adani Group and French company Total, located in Odisha.
The terminal will function as a reception facility for import of LNG, where LNG tankers can directly unload cargo and convert the liquefied natural gas to gaseous state. Rolls-Royce has signed a contract with Dhamra LNG Terminal (DLTPL) for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) delivery of the 29 MW gas-based power plant.
The core equipment for the new gas-based power plant will include three 9.6 MW gensets, based on the 20 cylinder Rolls-Royce Bergen B35:40 gas engines. These medium-speed gas engines are characterised by high availability and low operating costs.
When commissioned at the end of 2021, Dhamra LNG Terminal will be the second LNG plant in India powered by Rolls-Royce Bergen medium-speed engines. Rolls-Royce has earlier supplied and commissioned 28 MW power plant, running on LNG fuel, in 2018 to the Indian Oil Corporation LNG Terminal at Ennore, Tamil Nadu.
Designed for an initial capacity of five million tpa, expandable up to 10 million tpa, the proposed Dhamra LNG import and regasification terminal will initially have two full containment type tanks of 1,80,000 cu mtr capacity each.
