Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has achieved one more milestone in the Middle-East region with the commissioning of yet another Gas Turbine Generating unit in Oman.

The 26 MW gas turbine generator was successfully put on stream at the Oman Refinery and Petrochemical plant in Muscat. Significantly, this is the second such unit to be commissioned by BHEL at the refinery. Another unit of similar rating was commissioned at the same project in May, 2010. The first of their kind in Oman, these units will provide captive power generation for the oil refinery.

The gas turbine generator units were engineered, manufactured and supplied by BHEL’s Hyderabad Plant while the state-of-the-art control system has been supplied by the company’s Bangalore works.
