Ovivo Successfully Secures A Contract With Siemens

Ovivo announced recently that they have been awarded the contract by Siemens to provide engineering, fabrication, documentation, mechanical and electrical erection, commissioning and training of a Demineralization plant at the Plock Petrochemical plant in Poland.

Ovivo will be supplying a complete Demineralization system for a total capacity of 560 m³/hr (2465 gpm) net in a 5 x 25% configuration. Each line will consist of: Flocculation, ultrafiltration with submersed membranes, reverse osmosis, degasifier, TOC (Total Organic Carbon) reduction with hard UV and mixed bed filters. The system is part of Siemens Combined Cycle power plant of the Plock project announced late last year. The 596 MWe Combined Cycle will not only provide the steam and electricity needed by the refinery, but also have the flexibility to feed electricity to the National Grid.

The raw water quality from the Wisla River combined with stringent TOC limit value added some challenges in the design of the Demineralization plant concept which resulted in adding an additional polishing step with a hard UV system in order to bring the Total Organic Carbon down to ˂ 10 ppb. Furthermore it was decided that a 5 x 140 m³/hr configuration will be applied to provide the continuous availability and operational safety requirement of the boiler feedwater.

“This is Ovivo’s third contract from Siemens in the past 12 months for different water treatment projects around the world” commented Kaveh Someah, VP Global Energy Group. “This new contract not only consolidates our partnership with Siemens but is also a testament to Ovivo’s global capabilities in providing high quality water treatment to the Energy Market.”

Delivery of the equipment is scheduled for 2016.
