Installation of the feed gas cooling unit commences on the fourth line of the Amur Gas Processing Plant
Installation of the cold box of feed gas has been completed on the fourth process line of the Amur Gas Processing Plant (GPP). It 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 cryogenic gas separation complex.
Total weight of the installed equipment of the cold box is about 1,400 tons, its height is more than 77 meters. The equipment consists of seven modules, two of which are already installed on the project foundations. The modules are assembled into a single unit using a crane with a lifting capacity of 1600 tons. Earlier, three similar feed gas cold blocks were installed on the first, second and third process lines of Amur Gas Processing Plant.
