Zhongke Fuhai wins bid for fourth large-scale domestic LNG helium extraction project

Thread Content

Following the successful delivery and commissioning of the country’s largest helium extraction project using gas-liquid combined production technology, Zhongke Fuhai has once again won a contract for a large-scale LNG helium extraction project in the Ordos Basin; this is Zhongke Fuhai’s fourth large-scale LNG helium extraction project in China. The scale of this LNG plant project is 3 million cubic meters, and helium production of around 300,000 cubic meters per year can be achieved through BOG separation. Commissioned by the owner, Zhongke Fuhai takes the lead in carrying out the design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the engineering project throughout its entire lifecycle, with operation expected to begin in 2023. Through years of practical experience, Zhongke Fuhai has fully demonstrated its third-generation advanced helium extraction technology, which features a simple process and stable, reliable operation, with all core equipment coming from top-tier brands in the industry. In its new generation of technologies, Fuhai utilizes vacuum cold box technology throughout, which offers excellent energy-saving effects and very low operating costs; it is expected to save millions of yuan in annual electricity expenses. At the same time, Zhongke Fuhai makes maximum use of on-site resources by employing minimal moving equipment, simplifying maintenance operations, and thus saving a great deal in costs. To reduce construction time and the complexity of on-site work, all equipment is highly skid-mounted and integrated for easy installation and transportation. The operational performance of Zhongke Fuhai’s existing LNG-BOG helium extraction projects shows that the product quality is stable, with various parameters exceeding the standards for high-purity gases set by national regulations. Zhongke Fuhai’s successful bid in this tender fully demonstrates that our company possesses the key technologies and processes for helium extraction from natural gas, has a competitive advantage thanks to these core technologies, and has the capability to carry out professional engineering projects, enabling us 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 situations, ensuring a steady supply of helium for key sectors in China, but also provides important support for ensuring the security of strategic helium resources in the future.
