ABB builds transformers for Egypt sugar refinery
ABB has built customized transformers for Egypt’s Canal Sugar refinery.
The ABB team designed and delivered customized distribution transformers, capable of supporting the factory’s specific environmental conditions.
Innovative design features include the capacity to support high starting current of heavy-duty motors, which power the pumps. In addition, the transformers had to conform to non-standard voltage ratings as the factory is based on a similar plant in Dubai with ratings different from Egypt’s electricity distribution network.
“We share a long-term and strong relationship with ABB who have been our trusted partner for many projects, said Medhat Maher, CEO at El-Sewedy Electric T&D (the trading and distribution partner of Canal Sugar). “So, we have confidence in ABB’s technology and team’s capability to meet this project’s special technical requirements.”
Canal Sugar, owned by Dubai-based Al Khaleej Sugar Refinery is contributing to Egypt’s initiative by setting up the world’s largest beet sugar factory in Egypt with an annual output capacity of 900,000 tons. This will help Egypt overcome up to 80% of its sugar deficit.
