Thailand

Siemens Energy has commissioned an SST-300 industrial steam turbine at a paper mill in Thailand. It produces electrical energy to operate the machines and thermal energy for the drying processes employed in paper production. It is driven by steam produced in a boiler fueled by waste biomass from pulp production, and partially also coal. This paper mill will burn more than 200,000 tons of biomass, mainly from eucalyptus. It is owned by SCG Paper and is operated by Phoenix Pulp & Paper PCL, which ranks among the most important Thai pulp and paper mills with a production capacity of around 200,000 tons of printing and writing paper a year. SCG Paper decided to purchase the Siemens SST-300 steam turbine with a capacity of 31 megawatts to increase the paper mill’s efficiency. It was supplied by the Siemens site in Brno in the Czech Republic.  

Invensys Process Systems has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract by Simon Carves Limited to provide an InFusion Enterprise Control System through an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for PTT Polyethylene Company Limited (PTT PE). Invensys will provide a complete enterprise control solution for the grass-roots, 300,000 t/y LDPE plant that will be built at the Padaeng industrial estate in Thailand.
