Dung Quat oil refinery project’s first generator online

The Dung Quat oil refinery project in central Quang Ngai province put its first generator, a 4002A turbine, into operation on Nov. 12.

The 21.6-MW generator, equipped and assembled by the Japanese contractor Nippon , is one of four generators that will provide electricity to power the refinery. The remaining three generators are expected to become operational by the end of December this year.

After 40 months of construction, approximately 98.5 percent of construction work at the Dung Quat refinery project has been completed, though only 26.41 percent of test runs have been completed due to bad weather.

The Dung Quat Refinery Project’s management board is in the process of completing procedures to import 52,500 tonnes of diesel from Nov. 16-20 to provide power for a series of test runs.
