GEC Rolls-Royce Gensets

Selected For Shell/Esso

Tern Offshore Platform

Three GEC Rolls-Royce electrical generating sets worth $18 million have been ordered to power the

Shell/Esso Tern offshore produc- tion platform in the northern sector of the North Sea.

Two ERB-1 generating sets, each powered by a Rolls-Royce Industrial

RB211 gas turbine developing 30,840 hp, and one EAS-1 generat- ing set powered by a Rolls-Royce

Industrial Avon gas turbine devel- oping 18,440 hp, will provide the platform's electrical power. All three units have dual fuel capability using local associated gas or diesel fuel.

The RB211 sets will be supplied as complete, single-lift modules suitable for three-point mounting on the exposed top deck of the plat- form. The Avon-powered set will be designed for installation within a conventional module located > a three-point mounted base.

This order brings the total num- ber of offshore generat ing sets sold by GEC Rolls-Royce and its parent companies to 51, representing more than 1.34 million hp of installed power.
