据世界天然气网8月26日消息 俄罗斯最大的独立天然气生产商诺瓦泰克在车里雅宾斯克地区启动了首个小型液化天然气工厂。
该液化天然气巨头指出,该设施的年处理能力为4万吨。诺瓦泰克子公司诺瓦泰克车里雅宾斯克开始了液化天然气的试点生产。
主要设备由俄罗斯低温技术专家NPO Geliymash所提供。
生产的液化天然气将主要作为天然气汽车燃料出售,这代表诺瓦泰克正在积极开发下游市场。
该公司将向其品牌加油站供应液化天然气,用于车里雅宾斯克地区和邻近地区的客运、货运和采矿设备。
诺瓦泰克董事长Leonid Mikhelson指出:“诺瓦泰克大力支持将液化天然气用作汽车燃料。”
Mikhelson 总结道:“这是一个很有前景的细分市场,我们正在俄罗斯和国外积极开发。使用液化天然气作为汽车燃料,可以大大减少有害物质排放到大气中,这对保护环境和降低运输燃料成本均很重要。”

Novatek starts up Magnitogorsk small-scale LNG plant
Novatek, Russia’s largest independent natural gas producer, has launched its first small-scale LNG plant in the Chelyabinsk region.
The LNG major noted the facility will have a capacity of 40,000 tons of LNG per annum. Novatek’s unit, Novatek-Chelyabinsk, commenced pilot LNG production, the company’s statement reads.
The main equipment was supplied by NPO Geliymash, a Russian cryogenic technology specialist.
The LNG produced will be sold primarily as natural gas motor fuel, which represents the downstream market being actively developed by the Novatek.
The company will supply LNG to its branded refueling complexes for passenger, cargo transport and mining equipment in the Chelyabinsk region and the neighboring areas.
“The use of LNG as a motor fuel is strongly supported by Novatek,” noted Leonid Mikhelson, Novatek’s chairman.
“This represents a promising market segment that we are actively developing both in Russia and abroad. The use of liquefied natural gas as a motor fuel can significantly reduce emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere that is important to protect the environment, as well as to reduce the fuel costs for transportation”, concluded Mikhelson.
