Beijing Zhongke Fuhai Cryogenic Technology’s LNG-BOG Helium Extraction Project in Ordos

Thread Content

Recently, Ordos Fenghao International Energy Co., Ltd. signed an EPC technical agreement for helium extraction from LNG-BOG with the Engineering Technology Branch of Xi’an Shanggu Power Co., Ltd. and Beijing Zhongke Fuhai Cryogenic Technology Co., Ltd. Zhongke Fuhai has successfully signed a contract for the procurement of BOG helium extraction equipment, and will be responsible for the design, installation, and commissioning of the LNG-BOG helium extraction project. The scale of this LNG plant project is 1.1 million cubic meters, and it is expected that an annual helium production capacity of 150,000 cubic meters can be achieved through BOG helium extraction. Helium is an important strategic resource related to **safety and the well-being of the nation; it is a vital gas for the development of defense industries and high-tech technologies. It plays an irreplaceable role in advanced fields such as aerospace, nuclear weapons, nuclear magnetic resonance, semiconductors, and large-scale scientific facilities. The LNG-BOG cryogenic helium extraction unit developed independently by Zhongke Fuhai uses cryogenic separation methods to purify helium and liquefy it. The BOG helium extraction process consists of a flow-stabilization system for the feed gas metering unit, a catalytic dehydrogenation/dehydration system, a crude helium extraction system, a cryogenic purification system, a helium filling system, and so on. Through years of practical experience, as well as the performance of existing LNG-BOG helium extraction projects, it has been shown that Zhongke Fuhai possesses advanced helium extraction technology; its process is simple, operation is stable and reliable, energy savings are significant, and operating costs are extremely low. The quality of helium products is stable, with all specifications exceeding those of the **standard 5N high-purity helium standard. The successful bid won by Zhongke Fuhai once again demonstrates that it has mastered the key technologies and processes for helium extraction from natural gas, possesses a competitive advantage thanks to its core technologies, and has the capability to carry out professional engineering projects, enabling it to provide customers with one-stop solutions. Zhongke Fuhai’s BOG helium extraction technology, which boasts independent intellectual property rights, has been put into industrial use on multiple occasions. It not only helps to alleviate the shortage of helium supply caused by the pandemic and international circumstances, ensuring a stable supply of helium for key sectors in the country, but also provides important support for ensuring self-sufficiency in strategic helium resources in the future.
