Abengoa selects Siemens' compressor train for renewable fuels plant in Nevada
Siemens has announced that it was recently selected by Abengoa, a Spanish engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, to supply a compressor train for Fulcrum BioEnergy's Sierra BioFuels Plant in Storey County, Nevada. The plant will use gasification technology to produce low-carbon fuels from municipal solid waste.
The facility is expected to produce 11 million gallons of biofuel per year that will be used by the aviation industry, diverting municipal solid waste that would otherwise be landfilled. The fuel produced will reduce carbon emissions by more than 80%.
Siemens' scope of supply includes a steam turbine, three synthesis gas Dresser-Rand DATUM compressors, and balance of plant equipment including coolers, filters and valves. The equipment is expected to be shipped in mid-2019.
