The reasons for the shutdown of the gas turbine are named.
Gazprom has stopped the transmission of gas through the Nord Stream-1 gas pipeline for an indefinite period. The reason is the troubleshooting of the turbine from Siemens .
The company’s press service says that the decision to stop the pipeline operation was made following the results of the maintenance of GPA No. 24 at the Portovaya CS.
During the inspection, several places with oil leaks were found.
An act was drawn up on this fact, where there are also signatures of representatives of Siemens, and Rostechnadzor of the Russian Federation issued a warning that with such malfunctions, safe operation of the gas turbine engine is impossible.
Against this background, it was decided to suspend further operation of the Trent 60 gas pumping unit until all malfunctions were eliminated.
At the same time, Siemens reported that troubleshooting is possible only at a special repair facility.
Gazprom has already sent a letter about the identified problems to the management of Siemens Energy AG.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that Gazprom played on Siemens’ demands and signed a verdict on Europe.
