Sydney Gas: Rosalind Park Gas Plant gas testing underway
Posted: 13 December 2004
Sydney Gas Ltd provides the following update upon the construction, completion and commissioning of its Rosalind Park Gas Plant (RPGP) at Campbelltown, less than one hour’s drive south-west of Sydney. First gas sales to AGL Wholesale Gas Ltd (AGL) from Stage II of the Camden Gas Project are on track to be delivered by 31 December 2004.
As previously announced, the RPGP reached Mechanical Completion on 22 November 2004. Since then, the RPGP has been undergoing commissioning with Sydney Gas’ 3,130 HP Waukesha 12 VAT-AT27GL engine/Ariel compressor unit having been started and successfully run-tested at maximum revs.
The gas gathering system and the underground steel sales line have been satisfactorily commissioned. They have been purged, pressure tested, hydrotested and are now ready for first deliveries of sales gas to AGL.
As the RPGP’s commissioning phase draws to a close, final functionality testing of the control, communications and electrical systems is underway. Test gas from Sydney Gas’ Stage II production wells has been introduced into the RPGP as part of final commissioning. Full load testing of the entire system, including the post compression equipment and AGL metering unit, is expected to be completed shortly. This is the final step prior to the commencement of gas sales to AGL that are planned by 31 December 2004.
