Bulwer Island, Brisbane, Australia
Power Generation Island - Refinery
Customer: BP Bulwer Island refinery
Scope of supply: complete CHP plant, including two SGT-400 gas turbines.
This Siemens cogeneration/combined cycle power plant provides 90% of the electrical power and 75% of the process steam for the BP Bulwer Island refinery facility near Brisbane.
