Total installed capacity of the equipment is more than 2000 MW. The customers of Aviadvigatel JSC equipment include leading oil & gas, generating and industrial enterprises in Russia and foreign countries.
•    Domestic power plants for industrial and oil & gas market segments.
Combining high quality of power plants produced by world leading manufacturers and professional package developed by Russian enterprises gives the opportunity to provide reliable power supply of customers' facilities with reasonable prices for the equipment. TSC Volgaenergoprom production and engineering enterprise is one of the leaders on the Russian market of emergency and stand-by power plants. At present the company carries out the delivery, assembling, maintenance and leasing of various power equipment.
•    Updating of energotechnological systems being a part of gas pumping units for oil & gas industry.
The article presents the main problems solving during the process of integration of energotechnological systems being a part of gas pumping units for oil & gas industry and some results achieved under this process. The main results of generalized analysis of aeroderivative gas turbine engines using for the drive of gas compressor units are presented in the first part of the paper. The authors also consider the most prospective directions of their future development taking into account the experience of industrial gas turbine drives creation. Gas compressor units of GPA-Ts type rated at 4.0...25.0 MW developed by Sumskoye NPO are used by oil and gas enterprises in Ukraine, Russia, Iran, Uzbekistan and others and provide natural gas production, transportation and processing. Total installed capacity of the units is more than 10 mln kW.
•    Screw gas compressors manufactured by Kaishan Compressor company.
Taurus Energy Ltd., supplying equipment for gas turbine power station faces very often with the problem of fuel gas conditioning. One of the biggest manufacturers of such equipment is Kaishan Compressor (China). Kaishan principally manufactures a product mix that caters to such industries as environmental engineering and cold chains, including screw air and gas compressors, refrigeration compressors , screw expander generators, and process gas compressors. Cooperation agreement between Taurus Energy Ltd. and Kaishan Compressor was signed in 2015.
•    Shell Lubraicants: high quality is guaranteed.
At the end of March Shell collected its customers and partners lubricating oil blending plant in Torzhok, Tverskaуa Region. The meeting was devoted to optimal selection of lubricating oils for stationary gas engines and power plants. Specialists of the company told in detail about operating features of this equipment, about the requirements to lubricating oils and advanced products under Shell Mysella brand. They also discussed the effectiveness of technical services for oil condition and equipment diagnostics drawing on the example of application such services as Shell LubeAnalyst and Shell LubeVideoCheck. The plant started operation in 2012 and is one of the biggest among Shell plants worldwide.
•    New life of equipment: engineering first aid.
The article describes HOERBIGER Ltd. experience in supply of refurbished Waukesha gas engines, original parts and generating units on the base of Waukesha engines. HOERBIGER Ltd. offers such services as gas engines maintenance, repair and replacement of worn details and components. In April 2015 GE Distributed Power has appointed HOERBIGER Ltd. as an authorized distributor of Waukesha gas engines. The move is part of GE's strategy to provide Russian oil and gas, power generation and other industrial customers with reliable, more efficient power at or near the point of use.
•    Prospects for the development of booster compressors on the site of Komsomolskoye and Zapadno-Tarkosalinskoye fields.
The fields at present are developed at the stage of declining production and get on the final stage of operation. On this stage there are low well-head pressure, accumulation of liquid at well face and liquid accumulation in the pipelines of gas-collecting system. As result the equipment operates on inefficient modes with low loads.
•    Gas engine from Balakovo for the first gas-locomotive shunter.
Application of liquefied natural gas as the fuel for shunter engines gives the opportunity to considerably increase the efficiency of internal combustion engines. Herewith emissions of harmful substances, engine components wear and lubrication oil consumption are reduced ten times. In September 2015 the operation of TEMI9 gas-locomotive shunter was started. The propulsion unit of the shunter was developed on the base of GDG800Tgas generating set rated at 800 kW. It was developed and manufactured by Mamins Volga Diesel Plant JSC (Balakovo).GDG800T generating set uses liquefied natural gas as the fuel. During the development the design of the engine was considerably elaborated. It was connected with the requirement to reduce fuel consumption on the idle mode. Such engines can be also used as main and auxiliary propulsion units of various vessels.
•    Forum-exhibition Onsite power generation for enterprises.
The event was held on 24-25th of March in Electrification pavilion (All-Russia Exhibition Center) in Moscow. The organizer of the forum is Redenex company. The objectives of the IV Business-platform Onsite power generation for enterprises were to help Russian companies to use smalt- and medium-scale generation equipment to get the most for their business – by cutting energy bills, ensuring uninterrupted supply, and tailoring their electricity needs to their specific business profile, and its requirement for new supply. It makes sense for companies to generate their own electricity. In addition to offering substantial cost savings, it ensures uninterrupted supply and avoids power outages. It enables companies to plan for expanded capacity with ease – and in a number of companies, it offers a way of making profitable use of waste byproducts. It's a very effective way of keeping control of costs, while keeping the electrical supply tailored to exactly what your specific company requires.
