The Linde Group has been selected by Gazprom Pererabotka Blagoveschchensk, and its general contractor NIPIgas, as the licenser for cryogenic gas separation technology at the Amur Gas Processing Plant (Amur GPP), in the far east of Russia.
The technology company will engineer and supply units for ethane (C₂H₆) and natural gas liquids (NGL) extraction and nitrogen (N2) rejection, as well as for helium (He) purification, liquefaction and storage.
This contract follows the news of a previous engineering and supply contract between the two companies for the development of Amur GPP, reached in December 2015.
The plant forms part of Gazprom’s supply of Russian gas to China via the ‘Power of Siberia’ pipeline from eastern Siberian gas fields, and will be built in five phases ending in 2024. Phase one involves the construction of two C2H6 and NGL (propane, butane, pentane and hexane) extraction and N2 rejection units, and a He production unit.
