Commissioning is in progress at second commercial helium unit at Amur GPP

Mechanical completion of the helium treatment, liquefaction and loading unit construction has reached its highest level. Employees of Azprom Pererabotka Blagoveshchensk (investor, owner and operator of the Amur GPP) and NIPIGAS JSC (general conractor), as well as the representatives of equipment suppliers have started its commissioning.

In particular, the final process piping dehydration is carried out with the achievement of the design dew point and subsequent inertisation. Individual tests of the air coolers and the steam-and-condensate pumps have been completed. The last stage of oil flushing of the low and medium-pressure compressors is nearing completion. Functional tests of the ventilation and air conditioning systems are being conducted simultaneously. All preparatory measures on the auxiliary systems (process, heating and fire water, low pressure steam) have been completed. Gaseous auxiliary media (nitrogen and air) are already involved in the functional tests of the instrumentation and the equipment preparation for operation.
