40 Units of S13-4000kVA/110kV Transformers for a Petrochemical Complex in the UAE

Project Overview

HBTP supplied 40 units of S13-4000/110 transformers for an integrated petrochemical complex producing polymers and chemicals in Jebel Ali, UAE. The project represents a significant deployment in the petrochemical manufacturing sector, requiring transformers engineered for reliable operation under demanding conditions.

Project Background

The UAE is investing heavily in downstream petrochemicals to diversify its economy. This integrated complex in Jebel Ali produces polyethylene, polypropylene, and other chemical products from natural gas feedstock. The process requires large-capacity, high-voltage transformers for various processing units.

Customer Requirements

Our Solution

HBTP supplied its S13-series transformers, engineered specifically for petrochemical manufacturing applications. The high-quality CRGO silicon steel core with step-lap mitered joints minimizes no-load losses, while copper windings provide enhanced short-circuit withstand capability and long service life.

Quality & Testing

The 4000kVA units required special test facilities for full-load temperature rise and impedance measurements. All units passed lightning impulse (LI 480kV), partial discharge, and sound level tests. Multi-stage cooling system performance was verified at each cooling stage.

Delivery & Installation

The large and heavy transformers required specialized transport with permits for overweight cargo. HBTP coordinated with UAE logistics partners for door-to-door delivery and provided on-site commissioning across multiple processing units.

Project Outcomes

All 40 transformers were successfully energized and are operating at rated capacity. The project was completed on schedule, and the customer has reported excellent performance with no unplanned outages attributed to transformer equipment. HBTP's reliable power distribution solution has contributed to the project's overall success and operational efficiency.
