Gas Processing
LLP Saryarkagaz, pays special attention to production activities in the field of gas production and transportation, an increase in the volume of its processing and an increase in electricity generation at its own power plants. The most advanced equipment is used to ensure maximum performance in the use of associated petroleum gas at all our fields.
The gas processing is an important part of a unified system for the collection and utilization of associated petroleum gas. The gas processing plant of the company is a modern complex that allows the production of dry stripped compressed gas, as well as liquid hydrocarbons, which are widely used in the industrial and economic activities of the Kazakhstan. The products manufactured by the plant have high quality indicators and meet the requirements of state standards of the Kazakhstan and all technical regulations.
LLP "Saryarkagaz" Refinery global presence combined with our ability to supply in the natural gas business, Europe being our strong distribution network. The Kazakhstan natural gas business has been a vital commodity for the European market for many decades, with advanced technologies and processing units, we are able to have an important competitive advantage and positions in the gas market business to help meet the world’s growing natural gas and power demands.
Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) — is obtained by cooling, natural gas to cryogenic temperatures at about -161°C. The liquefaction process is based on the effect of the gas cooling due to decrease in its pressure: initially, natural gas is compressed in compressor units, then pre-cooled in a custom built units and throttled at the stage, where the pressure is reduced. The final LNG is poured into special cryogenic containers (thermoses), where it can be stored for a longer period of time. Natural gas is cooled to a condensation temperature of (-161.5°C) turns into a liquid form called liquefied natural gas (LNG). In this case, the volume of gas is reduced by 600 times. LNG as well as CNG can be used as motor fuel.
Due to the fact that LNG has a high energy intensity, it can be effectively used in large-volume engines with high fuel consumption. The most promising segments for the use of LNG are considered trucks, railway, water transport, mining and agricultural machinery. Automobile engines operating on Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) fully complies with the highest environmental standards of Euro-5 and Euro-6. while drastically reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere, comparing to traditional fossil fuels without solid particles and sulfur compounds. The main components of smog are emissions of carbon monoxide and heavy hydrocarbons which are reduced by 65%, emissions of nitrogen oxides are also reduced.
