Wärtsilä wins another PPE contract from Bangladesh

The technology group Wärtsilä has been awarded another contract to supply power generating equipment to Bangladesh, reports www.globenewswire.com.

The latest order, which was booked in October 2017, is for a 100 MW power plant project in Chittagong being built by Karnaphuli Power Ltd, owned by Baraka Group. It is the seventh order that Wärtsilä has received this year for power generating equipment from Bangladeshi companies, said a press release.

The baseload plant will be powered by six Wärtsilä 50 engines running on heavy fuel oil (HFO), and the low heat rate, high efficiency, and excellent reliability of this engine were emphasised in the award of this contract. Furthermore, the project is being executed on a fast-track basis, and Wärtsilä's ability to comply with a demanding delivery schedule was another important factor. The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery in January 2018, and the plant is expected to be operational four months later, in May.
