Tatneft will produce helium and LNG, said Polymerupdate.
The company is reconstructing a cryogenic unit for deep processing of dry stripped gas to produce new products. The project documentation and the results of engineering surveys carried out on the territory of the Tatneftegazpererabotka Administration (UTNGP) received a positive conclusion from the State Ecological Expertise and the FAA Glavgosexpertiza of Russia.
The current capacity of the unit for dry stripped gas is 54,000 m?/h. In the course of the modernization, the productivity will be increased to 64 thousand m?/h, and a gaseous helium separation unit of brand "A" will be built in the amount of 504 thousand m?/year and the production of liquefied natural gas will begin to year.
The new modification of the cryogenic plant solves the problems of integrated use of raw materials, optimization of technological processes of gas processing and increasing the environmental friendliness of production. The technical solutions envisaged by the project will reduce the carbon footprint of the facility by 95 percent.
The cryogenic plant was put into operation in 2011 and is designed for deep processing of dry stripped gas in order to isolate the ethane fraction and remove nitrogen to increase the calorific value of the methane fraction before being fed into the Gazprom-transgaz Kazan main gas pipeline.
The general designer is OOO Institute for the Design of Oil Refining and Petrochemical Industry Enterprises. The planned date for completion of work and documentary commissioning of the facility is the fourth quarter of 2024.
We remind, Tatneft and Kazakh company KazMunayGas have signed an agreement for a new production site in the Atyrau region of Kazakhstan. The new facility will produce butadiene rubbers for use in tire manufacturing. The joint venture was signed by Nail Maganov, general director of Tatneft, and Alik Aidarbayev, management board chairman of KazMunayGas. Production will commence in 2026 at the SEZ National Industrial Petrochemical Technopark (Free Economic Zone). Approximately 2,000 jobs will be created at the site during the construction period, and more than 700 job positions at the point the facility goes into operation.
