摘要

The Hebei Huaqi Natural Gas Company Limited has announced the commencement of production from their Bazhou LNG liquefaction plant located South of Beijing. Specification LNG was produced March 26th, 2013, within one day of the first cool down of the unit. The facility was designed and constructed by the alliance of Chemtex / Black & Veatch. Black & Veatch used the PRICO single mixed-refrigerant process. Detailed engineering, equipment procurement, and construction management were provided by Chemtex. The plant is designed to liquefy a nominal 1 mmNm~3/day (37 MMSCFD) of feed gas to provide LNG for transportation fuel in the Beijing area. Additionally, a 20,000 cubic meter storage and loading system was designed, supplied and commissioned by Chemtex.
