Installation of feed gas cooling unit on third line of the Amur Gas Processing Plant complete
Installation of a cold block of feed gas has been completed on the third process line of the Amur Gas Processing Plant (GPP). This equipment is designed to cool the natural gas entering the plant before being fed to the gas separation columns and is an important element of the gas separation plant complex.
The total weight of the cold box assembly is 1,636 tons, its height is more than 77 meters. The equipment consists of seven modules, which were assembled into a single unit by a crane with a lifting capacity of 1,600 tons.
In 2018, two similar cold boxes for raw gas were installed on the first and second process lines of the Amur Gas Processing Plant.
