December 16, 2023: Key Pre-Cooling Project for the Guangdong East LNG Receiving Station of the National Pipeline Network

In December 2023, Sichuan Host Company, at the invitation of China National Pipeline Group, once again participated in the Guangdong East LNG Receiving Station Expansion Project, undertaking the critical task of cryogenic nitrogen pre-cooling operations. This mission required providing nitrogen injection services for two pre-cooling units located in the high-pressure pump area and the ORV area, ensuring that the equipment met the necessary packing conditions.
During the project execution, the team completed equipment installation on December 16 and initiated 30 consecutive hours of uninterrupted operations on the 21st. Despite the harsh conditions of freezing sea winds, operators precisely managed pipeline temperatures, ultimately achieving a top-line temperature of -120°C at the far end of the pipeline—marking a successful completion of the task. This project marks another milestone for Host, following its role in Guangdong East LNG Phase I in 2016 (where it handled critical tasks such as pipeline purging and drying), as Host once again delivers essential technical services to China National Pipeline Group, underscoring the company’s consistent expertise in LNG terminal construction.
