State Ecological Expertise approved NIIK's project for construction of Methanol Plant in Volgograd
The new Plant is to be located at PromTech's site.The new methanol plant is a complex of process equipment located in newly designed buildings and outdoor structures. Industrial buildings and outdoor structures, due to their functional inseparability are located very close to each other and there are roads, pavings and piperacks around them.
Project Documentation for “1000 thousand MTPY Methanol Plant” submitted to the State Ecological Expertise meets the ecological requirements established by the technical regulations and the Russian Federation legislation in the field of environmental protection.
Recently, the project for the Methanol Plant successfully passed the public hearings stage. As it is noted in the consolidated conclusion of the GEE, the calculation of damage to biological resources is made by Volgograd branch of FSBIU VNIRO and foresees compensatory measures of aquatic bioresources to release fish juveniles into the Volga River at a total cost of up to 11 million rubles.
Process solutions for the plant are based on the Input Data developed and provided by the FEED package developer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering (Japan). The methanol plant is based on Haldor Topsoe (Denmark) licensed technology, meanwhile NIIK became the general designer of the plant and developed the Project Documentation for all the design disciplines.
The customer, GTM1, is currently planning to construct a future methanol plant at site. Works on further participation of NIIK in implementation of this project are in progress.
