A new on-site power plant at a cement production site in Saudi Arabia is to be operated and maintained by MAN Diesel & Turbo.
MAN Diesel & Turbo was also responsible for building the 54 MW power plant, near Jeddah, where five MAN 20V32/44 CR diesel engines provide electrical power for the new cement plant.
A five-year contract with the United Cement Industrial Company (UCIC) for operation and maintenance includes the option of an extension for another five years.
‘The cement industry in Saudi Arabia is a growing market,’ said Stefan Eefting, Vice President at MAN Diesel & Turbo and head of MAN PrimeServ in Augsburg.
