[Haichuan Project Updates] Construction begins on the EPC project for the liquefied natural gas facility associated with the Xianyang LNG storage facility
Thread Content
Construction begins on the EPC project for the liquefied natural gas facility accompanying the Xianyang LNG storage facility. Recently, the project to build a liquefied natural gas facility with a capacity of 200,000 tons per day as part of the Xianyang LNG storage facility, which is under the general contracting of Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd., has commenced. The groundbreaking ceremony was held at the project site in Podi Village, Junma Town, Liquean County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. It is reported that the scope of this project involves the construction of a natural gas liquefaction plant with a capacity of 20x104 Nm³/d, covering the entire process including process package development, engineering design, procurement, construction, and assistance with commissioning. The project completed its preliminary design on January 15, 2021, and pile foundation construction began at the site. It is planned to finalize the selection of long-cycle equipment by the end of January this year, to complete the construction drawings by the end of April, for the long-cycle equipment to arrive on August 25, and to finish the joint testing and start fluid production by October 30.
The timeline is a bit tight === the long-cycle equipment will arrive on August 25, and integration testing along with the start of liquid production will be completed by October 30
It is estimated that this long period refers to several compressors being installed together, so there is no rush. The time-consuming tasks in winter are civil construction – the full-size tank (low-temperature double-tank system) – and the installation of auxiliary pipelines. ”Xianyang Natural Gas Co., Ltd. LNG Storage Facility – Tank Farm EPC Project: This project is located to the south of Podi Village, Junma Town, Liquan County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. The planned investment amount is 360 million yuan, with a daily peak handling capacity of 200x104 Nm3 (this figure is doubtful; it seems to be a mistake). This project consists of 2 10,000 m3 LNG storage tanks with metal walls and full containment, and 20 air-cooled vaporizers with a capacity of 5,000 Nm3/h (questionable: 20 units?) ), 1 LNG circulating water bath reboiler, 1 50,000 Nm3/h LNG circulating water bath heater, 5 loading/unloading bays (4 loading/unloading skids are installed, with 1 bay reserved), 1 set of medium-pressure pressure regulation and metering equipment, 1 high-pressure pressure regulation, metering, and transmission device, 1 on-site gas utilization device, 1 set of surface flares, 2 2,000 Nm3/h BOG screw compressors, 1 BOG treatment system, 1 10 KV substation, as well as an automatic control system along with the associated utility systems and auxiliary facilities. Total project investment: The cost of this tendered project is approximately 130 million yuan. Funding source: Self-financing by the enterprise + investment from the central government budget. ” The required construction period is 270 days (pending); work commenced on December 26, 2020. My personal guess: Under normal circumstances, the project in the Xianyang area should be able to start operations around the Spring Festival in 2022. By November 15th, for CCCC, it’s sufficient that the equipment can be ready for commissioning by the end of December 2021.
Just like Yangling Liquid Factory, it can’t produce liquid in winter either, right?
