AIR-SEPARATION PLANT IS ALREADY UNDER DESIGN STAGE
The plans to construct air separation gas plant in Kedainiai Free Economic Zone are already becoming true. On 28th May the project was presented to the public, followed by Technical Design of the complex. Administrative-domestic building, compressor building, rectification column, nitrogen and oxygen tanks, road-tankers filling stations and other technological equipment will be constructed in the territory of 1 ha. The heat generated in the production process will be used for heating of the office building.
UAB “Baltic Engineers”, a company with an extensive experience in development of industrial objects was entrusted with adaptation of the plant for Lithuania. Industrial and medical gas company “AGA” is investing in oxygen and nitrogen plant in Kedainiai, and the complex will be constructed by “Linde Engineering”. Both companies are part of “Linde” plc, the world’s largest gas production company, operating in nearly 100 countries.
“AGA” investing in a gas plant in Lithuania as gas demand in the market is growing and the company will provide to current customers and new projects in the entire Baltic region. As construction preparation work has already been started, we will soon be able to offer our clients useful solutions to ensure the speed and accuracy of gas delivery. This is great news for the entire business sector of the Baltic countries”, says Johanna Ylikosi, the Head of Sales and Marketing for the Baltic region.
According to Darius Kvedaras, the Head of UAB “Baltic Engineers” oil and gas complexes in Lithuania are rapidly expanding and preparation of their design requires specific knowledge, therefore the company is pleased to cooperate with specialists of Linde Group. “One of our strengths is experience in team work with international companies in projects in Lithuania and other Baltic countries” – states D. Kvedaras.
UAB “Baltic Engineers” in cooperation with Sofregaz SAS has already prepared pre-design proposals for the installation of liquid natural gas (LNG) regasification station in Druskininkai as well as has carried out FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) of AB “Klaipedos Nafta” LNG distribution station. Altogether 10 aboveground tanks with a total volume of 10 000 cubic meters were designed in Klaipeda redistribution station. Currently half of the planned tanks are already in place and the oil company is successfully loading a new cargo – LNG.
The newest “oil and gas” type complex implemented by UAB “Baltic Engineers” is oil product storage of UAB “Mockavos Terminalas”. The total storage capacity of “light petroleum products” is 12 000 cubic meters, where different tanks store diesel, petrol and biodiesel. Transhipment of products to road-tankers, train access by European and Russian track were solved in the complex. “We accompanied the Client during the whole process in this project: we carried out construction management, Technical and Working Design supervision, solutions optimization and construction technical supervision. We paid a lot of attention to search of contractors and control of the budget” – says the head of Baltic Engineers.
