ABB has been awarded a USD 216M contract to deliver a gas treatment plant to the South Tunisian Gas Project (STGP).The order was awarded by OMV Tunisie Production, a subsidiary of Austrian energy group OMV.

ABB will be responsible for the turnkey delivery of the Nawara gas treatment plant (GTP) including gas separation and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) extraction units. It will also provide key automation, communications and power components, including the control system and transformers and switchgear for the electrification of the plant. The GTP will separate commercial natural gas from heavier hydrocarbons, which will then be fractionated to produce propane, butane and LPG used in many industrial, commercial and manufacturing applications. The plant will have a design capacity of 2.7MMSCMD, and is expected to start production by October 2016. 

“The award of the Nawara project to ABB reflects our focus on delivering turnkey solutions for medium-sized plants in the upstream and midstream oil and gas segments”, said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “We do this by leveraging our core expertise in project management, industrial processes and the delivery of modular solutions, gained from executing more than 300 turnkey projects.“
