MWM, a leading provider of sustainable gas gensets, said it has collaborated with Jubaili Bros, a leading supplier of power generation solutions and services in Middle East and Africa (MEA), to provide large-size, gas-fueled electrical power solutions to customers across the region.

 

Germany-based MWM is one of the world's leading brands in the market segment of highly efficient cogeneration plants for decentralized energy generation with combined heat and power. 

 

Founded in 1871 by Carl Benz, the Mannheim-based company can look back on more than 150 years of experience in the development and optimization of gas gensets for natural gas, biogas and other special gases. In 2011, MWM became part of the Caterpillar family of brands.

 

Announcing the collaboration, MWM said it will leverage its expertise in gas engine and gas genset technology and Jubaili Bros' extensive engineering and aftersales network.

 

The co-operation between the two will also leverage a strong track record in delivering power generation solutions across multiple countries and critical industry segments.

 

Jubaili Bros will offer reliable MWM gas generators with 42% and above efficiencies ranging from 400 to 4,500 kW electrical, suitable for various applications such as industrial, commercial, and off-grid power supply.

 

According to MWM, many companies in the Middle East and Africa region will benefit from Jubaili Bros' expanded offering based on MWM solutions, supporting the diversification of their energy matrix and the transition to more efficient energy sources. 

 

MWM gas generators can also operate on various types of gas, including lower carbon intensity fuels derived from organic waste and synthetic gases.

 

"We are excited to partner with Jubaili Bros, a trusted and respected leader in the power generation market," said Rene Ludvik, Commercial Director of MWM.

 

"This new cooperation will provide customers even better access to MWM’s highly efficient gensets and services throughout the life of our products," he added.

 

Dr. Marcus Schumacher, Group CEO of Jubaili Bros, said: "We are delighted to join forces with MWM, a world-renowned leader in gas engine and genset technology, to offer our customers in the region best-in-class gas generators allied to our leading aftersales experience."

 

"We have a long history of providing reliable and customized power solutions to our customers, and we are confident that this collaboration will enable us to meet the growing demand for gas powered generators in the region," he added.-TradeArabia News Service

Scientists at Kazan Federal University, in collaboration with two Russian companies, have developed a new catalyst based on iron, nickel, cobalt, chromium, and copper to enhance the extraction of highly viscous heavy oil.

 

The researchers identified the optimal catalyst composition - a mixture of iron and nickel in an 85:15 ratio - and tested it in field conditions at a well in the Aksinovskoye oil field in the Samara region. 

 

Over four months of production using the catalyst, water content in the extracted oil dropped from 99% to 30%. High water content is a major challenge, as it complicates crude oil processing and causes equipment corrosion, said the top scientists.

 

The use of the new catalyst led to increased oil production, demonstrating its high efficiency. It also enables catalytic hydrothermal analysis, reducing energy costs.

 

Erik Mukhametdinov, Project Director and Senior Researcher at the Laboratory for Enhanced Oil Recovery Methods at Kazan Federal University, said: "We plan to continue improving the catalyst’s composition and expanding its application, potentially using it in other heavy oil fields, which would increase its economic viability."

 

This breakthrough opens up new opportunities for extracting highly viscous crude oil, he added.

India's top engineering and construction conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has announced that its key unit - L&T Energy Hydrocarbon (LTEH) - has secured a ultra mega contract from QatarEnergy LNG for the North Field Production Sustainability Offshore Compression Project (NFPS COMP 4).

 

Confirming the mega win, L&T said the contract, which is worth more than Rs150 billion ($1.7 billion), is the largest single order ever received by the company. 

 

The scope of work encompasses the engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation, and commissioning of two offshore compression complexes, each comprising large offshore platforms with compression and power generation facilities, living quarters, flare platforms, interconnected bridges, and other associated structures to be located 80 km off the northeast coast of Qatar. 

 

S N Subrahmanyan, Chairman & Managing Director - L&T, said: "Securing QatarEnergy LNG's ultra mega offshore contract - the largest single order in our history, is a landmark achievement. This prestigious project strengthens our global energy portfolio while supporting Qatar's energy security objectives."

 

"I thank QatarEnergy LNG for placing their trust in L&T to deliver this complex and strategically important project. We look forward to setting new benchmarks in project execution that will reinforce Qatar's position as a global LNG leader," he stated. 

 

Subramanian Sarma, Deputy Managing Director & President - L&T, said: "The award of a project of such nature is a reflection of the confidence and trust placed by QatarEnergy LNG in L&T’s expertise and its ability to deliver such large-scale projects for which L&T is very thankful."

 

"This collaboration not only strengthens our partnership but also reaffirms L&T's commitment to supporting Qatar's strategic energy objectives through innovative and reliable solutions," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
