BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 15
By Ilkin Seyfaddini - Trend:
Uzbekistan's Hududgaztaminot JSC began producing a new type of tank wagons for transportation of liquefied gas to provide uninterrupted supply to the country's population, Trend reports with reference to Uzbekistan National News Agency.
Currently, more than 4.5 million domestic gas tanks are consumed in Uzbekistan. Due to the growing demand for liquefied gas, it is planned to start transporting liquefied gas in tank wagons in stages. In this regard, Hududgaztaminot JSC is implementing a project for production of new wagons designed to carry up to 42 tons of hydrocarbon gas.
"These tanks manufactured at the Pakhtaabad branch of Andijan Mechanical Plant have advantages for transportation of liquefied gas. In particular, one train consisting of such wagons can carry up to 2,000 tons of liquefied gas increasing the transported volume by 40 percent," the message said.
If the current capacity of tank wagons is 60 cubic meters, the wagons of the new modification will contain 83 cubic meters. Liquefied gas in the wagon with 60 cubic meters capacity will be enough for 1,500 cylinders of domestic gas, and if it is transported in the new type of tank cars this figure will increase by 300 cylinders.
Hududgaztaminot JSC is responsible for the operation of gas distribution networks and the supply of natural and liquefied gas to the population of Uzbekistan.
