Cegelec Awarded Qatar Contract

Cegelec has been awarded a contract by Qatar Petroleum to replace the turbine and compressor control system for two natural gas liquids production trains in Mesaieed, Qatar.

Under the US$15 million contract, an integrated GE-Mark VI system will replace the existing control system for Trains 1 and 2, which utilizes pneumatic technology. Compressor operation will be optimized without compromising safety. In addition, the existing fire protection system will be replaced with a water mist system interfaced with the new control system.
