8th Gas compressor units (GCU) «Ladoga» has been delivered to Amur GPP site
8th Gas compressor units (GCU) «Ladoga» has been delivered to Amur gas processing plant. Now it is being installed at 4th process line.
(GCU) «Ladoga» is the key element of all six booster compressor stations. Two such units are installed on each of them. After extracting valuable fractions from the raw gas for further processing in Russia, GCU Ladoga will compress the purified methane for further supply along the Eastern route.
Gas compressor units reliably operate at low temperatures and seismicity up to eight scores. High-tech GCU manufactured at one of the largest power engineering enterprises in Russia which is «REP Holding» JSC (Saint-Petersburg). A multi-ton cargo runs more than 8 thousand kilometers to Amur GPP site in special railway containers where a constant temperature of +5°C is maintained during the entire way.
