GE To Provide Generators For African Pipeline

GE South Africa Technologies (GESAT) will provide Transnet with 10 medium speed, diesel-powered generators for a new 70-km, multi product pipeline to transport refined products from Durban to Johannesburg.

The generators, ranging in electrical power output from 2.8MW to 5MW, offer a combined total capacity of 34MW. They will provide emergency power to the pipeline pump stations and terminals for Transnet’s new pipeline that will supply diesel, gasoline and jet fuel to South African inland markets.
