据10月29日Gas World报道，Renergen已委托工程建设公司建造其在南非的首个商用液化天然气和液氦工厂。

这家新兴的天然气和氦气生产商表示，它已授予中国雪贝低温设备有限公司(WSCE)工程合同，为其弗吉尼亚天然气项目提供技术和设备。

WSCE将与该项目之前宣布的工程、采购和施工(EPC)总承包商EPCM Bonisana一起合作。

Renergen表示，这是该项目第一阶段开工前的“最后一个里程碑”。

该工厂预计将于2021年上半年投产，每天将生产至多2700千焦的液化天然气和350公斤的液氦。

Renergen首席执行官Stefano Marani在8月份表示，第二阶段目前正在计划中，可能开发在项目区域东侧发现的含氦砂岩储层。

Renergen commissions LNG and helium plant

Renergen has commissioned South Africa’s first commercial LNG and liquid helium plant.

The emerging domestic natural gas and helium producer today said it has awarded Chinese firm Western Shell Cryogenic Equipment (WSCE) the contract to supply the technology and equipment for its Virginia Gas Project.

WSCE will work alongside the project’s previously announced engineering, procurement and contraction (EPC) contractor EPCM Bonisana.

Renergen said this was the “final milestone” before construction can commence on phase one of the project.

Expected to be operational in the first half of 2021, the plant will produce up to 2,700 giga joules of LNG and 350 kilograms of liquid helium per day.

The second phase is currently being planned and potentially involves the inclusion of the helium bearing sandstone trap discovered in the eastern side of the project area, Renergen CEO Stefano Marani told gasworld back in August.
