Amur GPP construction reaches 88.6% completion in early April 2023

Process lines 1 and 2 of the Amur GPP sees the activities to improve the safety systems of the licensed units complete. In particular, the installation and commissioning of an excess number of stationary gas pollution monitoring sensors, sensors for monitoring the axial force of the fastening elements in the cryogenic flange connections are now over.

Additional fire extinguishing system equipment has been installed on the cold box of the main gas separation unit at process line 3. Installation of an ultra-sensitive dynamic laser system for detecting methane leaks, as well as installation and commissioning of an advanced process video surveillance system have been completed.

Process line 4 is seeing the installation of the electric heat tracing systems for pipelines, final assembly of the static equipment, calibration of the safety valve, and loop testing of the instrumentation. Pre-commissioning of the exhaust vents and subsystems of auxiliary pipelines and oil flushing are in progress at Ladoga gas pumping units 7 and 8. Assembly, welding and installation of pipelines and electrical works are in progress at the unit for dehydration and removal of impurities.

Process line 5 is seeing the strength and tightness tests, pipeline blowdown, and re-assembly of pipelines. Commissioning of the indoor switchgears, electrical works at the substation, installation of the ventilation systems in the compressor room and electrical works are in progress at the substations of the NGL/nitrogen recovery and helium concentrate unit and helium fine purification, liquefaction and filling units.

Process line 6 is seeing the installation of a fire-proofed screen made of sandwich panels and steel structures.
