Fifth line of the Amur Gas Processing Plant sees installation of process equipment
Installation of the process equipment is underway on the fifth train of the Amur Gas Processing Plant. In particular, the reflux tank was installed in the low-temperature gas separation unit. It is designed to separate the liquid phase from the flow of the ethane fraction.
PSA unit was installed on the third helium unit. This unit purifies the helium gas from nitrogen, argon, neon and other impurities. This is the final stage of treating helium gas before it is fed to the liquefaction unit.
Before that, large-capacity equipment was installed on the fifth production line: columns for separation of propane and butane, and feed gas adsorbers. Process pipelines and cable lines are being installed, and metal structures are being welded now.
Справка
