Gas separation columns, including the fifth demethanizer, will be delivered to the Amur Gas Processing Plant by sea and river vessels. Modules of the cold box for feed gas designed to lower the temperature of the natural gas entering the plant before being fed to the gas separation columns will also arrive.

The total period of delivery of large-capacity equipment from the sea ports of shipment to the construction site of the Amur Gas Processing Plant will take about three months. Sea vessels will deliver the cargo to the port of De-Kastri (Khabarovsk region) where it will be reloaded onto river barges which-accompanied by tugboats on the Amur and Zeya rivers-will deliver the equipment to the jetty of the Amur Gas Processing Plant in the area of Svobodny town. Unloading will be carried out by two crawler cranes with a lifting capacity of up to 1,350 tons. Next, the equipment will be transported to the construction site along a 27 km long route on self-propelled modular trailers at a speed of 5 km/h.
