【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Equipment】952–2023: Sinopec’s First Large-Scale LNG Skid Station Designed and Built Independently
Thread Content
Ten years of rapid development in chemical processing equipment – praise for China’s prosperity and strength. This is just a starting point; more participation will make things even more lively. HaiChuan becomes even better with your involvement; we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions. Everyone should focus on safety and know how to handle emergencies. ********************************************* On June 7, 2023, Zhongjing Gas’ first modular station for the testing, extraction, and utilization of natural gas from remote wells was successfully commissioned, producing qualified LNG products. Located in Danshan Town, Ziyang City, Sichuan Province, this skid-mounted plant was designed and constructed by Zhongyuan Design Company. It is capable of processing 100,000 cubic meters of natural gas per day, with a daily production of around 66 tons of LNG. It represents the first large-scale LNG skid-mounted plant designed and built by Sinopec, and its production capacity currently ranks first among Sinopec’s such plants. The successful commissioning of this skid-mounted station plays an important role in the recovery and utilization of natural gas from remote wells, as well as in unlocking their production capacity.
Due to the remote location of these wells, it is not possible to connect them to oil and gas transmission pipelines in the short term. By constructing skid-mounted stations and using appropriate equipment to liquefy natural gas on-site, it is possible to make better use of this resource, reduce emissions of natural gas during testing, avoid waste of resources and environmental damage. This approach effectively resolves the issue of being unable to utilize pipeline transportation for these remote wells in order to achieve economic benefits, thereby contributing to the development and utilization of such wells. By integrating production and sales operations, production costs are effectively reduced, thereby maximizing profitability. Skid-mounted units feature a small size, easy installation, and high production and transportation efficiency. The raw natural gas at the wellhead undergoes further processing via skid-mounted units, including decarburization, dehydration, pre-cooling, and deep cooling, before being loaded and transported in the form of liquid natural gas. The products are sold as they are produced, primarily being shipped to areas such as Ziyang, Mianyang, Leshan, and Chengdu, where they are used as automotive fuel, for supply to factories, and to replenish urban gas supplies. It has achieved the storage of gas for ensuring people’s livelihoods, peak load management, as well as the further enhancement of the value of natural gas in Ziyang and surrounding cities.
The use of small-scale resources solves the problem of waste
