AtyrauNefteMash has begun producing three propane bullets for the Gas Separation Complex (GSC) under construction at Tengiz. The large vessels are designed to safely store purified propane before it is transported. KMG PetroChem Chairman of the Management Board Diaz Diyanov visited the site and reviewed the progress of work.
The plant has received all the required sheet metal. The entire batch passed inspection and incoming quality control.
Preparations are now underway to manufacture the vessel shells. Each bullet will be 42.75 metres long, 7.5 metres in diameter and have a volume of 1,808 cubic metres.
The GSC is designed to process up to 9.1 billion cubic metres of dry gas a year, producing up to 1.6 million tonnes of ethane and 360,000 tonnes of propane. Propane will be used to make polypropylene, while ethane will be used for polyethylene.
KMG PetroChem supports involving domestic manufacturers in the construction of the complex. The company says placing orders with Kazakhstani businesses supports local content, strengthens the capabilities of domestic engineering and expands its role in major petrochemical projects in the country.
