Installation of equipment for drying and cleaning of feed at the first start-up complex of the Amur Gas Processing Plant completed
Installation of the feed gas drying and treatment units on the first and second process lines of the Amur Gas Processing Plant (the first start-up complex) has been completed.
Each unit consists of five adsorbers. They allow dehydration and removal of impurities from the feed gas that will be supplied to the Amur Gas Processing Plant. This is an important stage of the process: maximum dehydration and cleaning is necessary to ensure the efficiency of the further gas separation process, which is carried out at ultra-low temperatures.
The length of each adsorber is 16.5 m, its weight is about 230 tons.
The first start-up complex will be put into operation in the spring of 2021.
Справка
Gazprom's Amur Gas Processing Plant will become one of the world's largest natural gas processing plants. Its design capacity will amount to 42 billion cubic meters of gas per year. GPP will also include the world's largest production of helium — up to 60 million cubic meters per year. The Amur Gas Processing Plant is an important link in the process chain of natural gas supply to China via the Eastern route. The plant will receive the multi-component feed gas from Power of Siberia gas pipeline from the Yakutsk and Irkutsk gas production centres currently built by Gazprom with its Eastern Gas Program.
Gazprom Pererabotka Blagoveshchensk LLC (member of Gazprom Group) is the Investor and Owner of Amur Gas Processing Plant project. Construction is managed by NIPIGAS, a leading Russian centre for engineering, procurement, logistics and construction management (member of SIBUR Group).
Peak time for construction will be in 2019 to 2020 when over 25,000 workers will be mobilized to the site.
