Background

The pipeline is used to transport ethane fraction obtained at the Orenburg Helium Plant to the ethane regasification point in the village of Appakovo, Republic of Tatarstan. The transportation of the ethane fraction is carried out in a supercritical (liquid) state, followed by regasification and supply of gaseous ethane, after throttling, to the subcritical pressure ethane pipeline "Minnibaevо-Kazan," supplying raw materials to the Kazanorgsintez Ethylene Plant.
