Under the contract Siemens will supply three SGT-500 gas turbines at the factory, which will be used to generate electricity and result in low emissions.

Once the installation is completed, the plant will have the capacity to produce 2.5 million tons of cement annually.

Siemens Energy Sector Industrial Power Business Unit head Markus Tacke said the SGT-500 gas turbine model will give high returns on their low investments and operating costs.

"This turbine is currently undergoing a renaissance. Demand in offshore applications for power and heat generation firing heavy fuel oil and heavy crude oil is on the rise," Tacke added.

"The SGT-500 is optimally designed for such use and offers a decisive advantage: while it is smaller and lighter than diesel engines, it delivers comparable output.

"Only a limited number of personnel are required for the operation and maintenance of these units."

The SGT-500 industrial gas turbine has a power output range from 15MW to 20MW.

Delivery of the gas turbines is scheduled for 2014.
