The alternation of sun and moon, the flow of light and shadow

The coordinate axis of time and space

Engrave the footprints of every step of struggle

The shutter sound of memory

Freeze the moment of each frame’s struggle

Only by settling down the past can we plan for the long term

Ready to set sail, ready to set sail

The sun and moon move forward, and the golden age is new

Let’s look back on 2023 together

Inventory our annual keywords

Mountains and rivers are vast, and we move forward with great strength

Reduce cost, increase efficiency and keep improving

365 days for annual operation

179 maximum daily truck loading

In 2023, the production facilities of Hanas LNG Plant operate for 365 days throughout the year, with a maximum daily LNG filling capacity of 179 vehicles. By organizing regular production operation analysis meetings, comparing production operation data, strictly controlling gas consumption, electricity consumption, and auxiliary material consumption indicators, operating two production units under different working conditions and loads, and strictly controlling production costs, the consumption of raw material gas per ton of LNG production decreased by 12 standard cubic meters compared to 2022, and the consumption of production auxiliary materials decreased by 19%. In order to effectively address the impact of changes in upstream gas source components on the stable operation of the amine system, a special meeting was held to study and discuss, visit and research surrounding liquefaction factories, and conduct technical exchanges with multiple amine liquid manufacturers. The optimization selection and replacement of amine liquid were successfully completed. Strictly control product quality, conduct 16355 laboratory analysis samples, and report 127400 sets of data. The construction of a digital platform for dual prevention mechanisms and a smart management platform for mobile pressure vessels has been completed. Through intelligent terminals, on-site inspections, hazard investigation, and daily safety management have been carried out, improving the level of information management for hazard investigation and treatment.
