The first tank of Huizhou LNG receiving station is successful

Three LNG storage in construction.

At 11:28 on July 7th, with the accurate reaching the design location of the tank with 822 tons, the vault board was perfectly matched with the pressure ring.

"Storage tank gas rising operation is one of the most difficult, the most complicated and the highest risks in the construction process of large LNG storage tanks." The relevant person in charge of Guangdong Huizhou LNG told reporters that the effective volume of the storage tank of the project is 20 Thousands of cubic meters, the outer diameter of the tank is 87.6 meters, the tank height is 58 meters, and the dome span 85.8 meters. The principle is under the common action of the balance system, sealing system, and power system, using a wind turmoil to the tank in the tank, and using the pressure difference to bring the overall gas of the vault component to the design position "".

It is reported that the storage tank was raised for two hours. Under the "support" of the three drum fans, the 2#storage tank vault slowly rose, gradually approaching the design location of 55.318 meters high, and finally achieved a perfect fit. The successful completion of the 2#storage tank vapor gas is successfully completed, marking the official entering the installation stage of the LNG storage tank construction of the Huizhou LNG receiving station project.

As a key project of the national oil and gas infrastructure, the Huizhou LNG receiving station project started construction in July 2021. The first phase of the project invested 6.6 billion yuan to build three 200,000 cubic meters of LNG storage tanks and related supporting connections, gasification, foreignization, external, foreign Input facilities, 1 80,000 to 266,000 cubic meters of LNG ships connected to the berth, the maximum receiving liquefied natural gas capacity was 6.1 million tons, and it was planned to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2023.

The person in charge stated that Guangdong Energy Group and its natural gas companies put forward high standards and strict requirements on the construction of the project. Huizhou and Huidong County set up a special class to promote project approval and construction. The project companies and relevant participating units have carefully implemented the requirements of the superior level, and achieved successful storage tanks under the premise of keeping safety and high quality, laying a good foundation for the project to be completed and put into production as scheduled.

According to reports, the Huizhou LNG receiving station will further promote the economic and social development and energy structure optimization of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, improve the quality of the ecological environment, help the "dual carbon" goal to achieve it Stable clean energy support, exert good social and economic benefits.
