Utilities contract awarded
Published: 08 July, 2014
COFELY, a GDF SUEZ company, has been awarded a contract by BP to supply utilities to the SullomVoe Terminal (SVT) on the Shetland Islands – one of the largest oil and liquefied gas terminals in Europe. Cofely says the 11 year deal will also see it leasing the SVT power station and delivering a programme of major maintenance and investment works on the existing energy plant.
The SVT power station supports an electrical demand of 20MW and a thermal demand of 120 tonnes/hour of steam. Cofely’s primary responsibility will be to operate the power station to ensure reliable supplies of power and steam – as well as nitrogen and compressed air to the terminal. Power will also be exported to the local Shetland grid under a Power Purchase Agreement.

ADVANCED VALVES SOLUTIONS (AVS) was established in 1998 to provide solutions to the Power Generation Industry when excessive wear, thermal cracking and stressing became a major problem – resulting in millions of pounds in lost revenue. AVS says it takes its industry knowledge and actively shares it with key customers and end users to create a detailed understanding of cause and effect in power generation.
