Scope of supply

ABB S.p.A. (Italy), in cooperation with Lee Engineering &

Construction Co (Nigeria) and Franzisella S.p.A. (Italy), is

supplying a fully integrated solution for the WAGP (West

African Gas Pipeline) project in Nigeria.

The two WAGP Gas Compressor Stations in Utorogu and

Oben are based on the latest ABB MNS iS technology

installed into prefabricated E-houses.

The ABB MNS iS is the right solution to comply with the high

level of integration and compactness requested for the WAGP

Utorogu and Oben Gas Compressor Stations.

The ABB MNS iS Power and Motor Control Centers for the

WAGP project are fully integrated with the station DCS via

serial link (Profibus DP protocol) and are built in compliance

with Shell DEP standards.​

Plant description

Pipelines are the most efficient way to distribute gas and

cover big distances especially in location with critical

environmental conditions like deserts, glaciers, high

mountains. To keep pressure and temperature of gas at the

right level, Gas Compressor Stations are present and placed

at 10 to 150 Km intervals along the pipeline. The low voltage

MCC is one of the most important and critical component of

those compressor stations
