Environmental monitoring of construction of the Amur Gas Processing Plant confirms compliance with Russian and international standards
Industrial environmental monitoring in August 2019 confirmed that construction of the Amur Gas Processing Plant (GPP) complies with the Russian and international environmental standards.
Federal State Budgetary Institution «Center for Laboratory Analysis and Technical Measurements in the Far Eastern Federal District» took samples of atmospheric air at six observation points. Then, the concentrations of dust and suspended particles, carbon and nitrogen oxides, nitrogen and sulfur dioxides, hydrocarbons, benzo[a]pyrene and hydrogen sulfide were determined.
According to the results of tests of the samples, no air pollution has been detected, and no excess of the maximum permissible concentrations has been registered.
«During the entire construction period, constant environmental monitoring is carried out at the construction site of the Amur GPP and at the border of the nearest residential development.
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.
