The CCPP is part of the large seawater desalination facility Tuaspring in Singapore, which is scheduled to go online in 2014.

The natural gas-fired Tuaspring CCPP will be integrated into the seawater desalination plant for providing drinking water to Singapore.

The CCPP plant will provide the desalination plant with power and will draw cooling water from the seawater supply to the desalination plant.

Siemens’ scope of supply will include a Model SGT5-4000F gas turbine, the heat recovery steam generator, one SST5-3000 steam turbine, an SGen5-2000H-series hydrogen-cooled generator and the SPPA-T3000 instrumentation and control system as well as the associated auxiliary and ancillary systems.
