The commissioning of the extended refining BOG helium recovery project was successful

On December 31, 2022, the BOG helium recovery project of Natural Gas Co.
, Ltd.
, a subsidiary of Yanchang Petroleum Refining Company, was successfully commissioned once, producing a qualified helium product
with a purity of 99.
999%.

It is understood that helium, as a strategic resource, is widely used in military defense, aerospace, scientific research, electronic products, medical and health and industrial production and many other fields
.
China's helium resources are poor, and 95% needs to rely on imports
.
BOG helium recovery project is a key construction project for refining and chemical companies to explore the recycling of high value-added natural gas products, which will alleviate the passive situation
of tight demand for national helium strategic resources to a certain extent.

Since the project started construction on September 15, 2022, in the face of adverse factors such as epidemic control restrictions and on-site cross-construction, refining and chemical companies and natural gas companies closed the back door and reversed the construction period, and the majority of project construction and commissioning personnel worked day and night and continuously, coordinated the deployment of all forces, exceeded the routine scheduling, overloaded construction, effectively overcome many difficulties and challenges such as shortage of personnel, short construction period, and difficulty in winter commissioning, and completed CCCC on December 14 in just 3 months.
Qualified products
will be produced on December 31.
