Ordos Membrane Separation Concentration Unit Project

Natural Gas / LNG BOG Helium Extraction

RefineTek

Project Info

IndustryNatural Gas / LNG BOG Helium Extraction
Product NameMembrane Separation Concentration Unit
Feed Gas CompositionCH4: 9.40%, N2: 79.95%, He: 9.86%, H2: 0.79%
Feed Gas Flow Rate520 Nm³/h (0.44 MMSCFD)
He+H2 Product Purity>98% mol (gas)
He+H2 Recovery Rate>97%
Project LocationOrdos, China
Delivery Date2023

Using RefineTek's proprietary membrane separation technology, the project pre-concentrates the low-concentration helium and hydrogen resources in the feed gas, raising the combined He+H2 concentration above 98% mol with a recovery rate above 97% — substantially reducing the load on, and improving the overall economics of, downstream deep separation and purification. The system uses a modular skid-mounted design with a short installation and commissioning cycle, and has been running stably at the Ordos project site.
