Earlier, the internal pipeline system of the Amur Gas Processing Plant was connected to Power of Siberia main gas pipeline: four lines of the connection gas pipelines have been tied in. Two of them are intended for receiving feed gas to the site, and two are for transporting commercial methane (one of the products) back to the gas transport system.
