The 13-year contractual service agreement (CSA) worth $46.1m covers the supply of parts, repairs and field services for planned and unplanned outages for gas turbine-generators and accessory equipment.

The service agreement covers three GE Frame 5 gas turbines and six Frame 6 gas turbines at the Map Ta Phut site.

Veerasak Kositpaisal, president and CEO of PTT Chemical, said: “Through this agreement, GE will provide maintenance services which will help ensure the continuing reliability and efficiency of the gas turbines, which is critical in enabling us to maintain our petrochemical production schedule. The CSA also helps us to effectively manage our maintenance budget over the life of the agreement.”

Kovit Kantapasara, country executive of Thailand and Indochina at GE Energy, said: “While we have received equipment orders from PTT Chemical in the past, this marks our first CSA with the company. Overall, GE has supplied more than 20 gas turbines to the petrochemical business of the PTT Group.”
