The Nederlandse Gasunie in Vilsteren operates four nitrogen trains that produce nitrogen for blending with high-calorific natural gas, resulting in a gas quality equivalent to Groningen quality. A crucial process step is the cooling of the compressed air via chillers. These chillers currently use a refrigerant that falls under the European ban on certain fluorinated substances and must therefore be phased out. The project involves the complete replacement of the existing chiller installations with systems that comply with EU regulations, high energy efficiency, and compatibility with the existing gas production infrastructure. The tender requires a competitive procedure with negotiation, aimed at suppliers with experience in industrial cooling installations in the gas sector who are capable of ensuring the continuity of gas production during the transition.

The Nederlandse Gasunie in Vilsteren operates four nitrogen trains that produce nitrogen for blending with high-calorific natural gas, resulting in a gas quality equivalent to Groningen quality. A crucial process step is the cooling of the compressed air via chillers. These chillers currently use a refrigerant that falls under the European ban on certain fluorinated substances and must therefore be phased out.

The tender requires a competitive procedure with negotiation, aimed at suppliers with experience in industrial cooling installations in the gas sector who are capable of ensuring the continuity of gas production during the transition.

At the Gasunie installation in Vilsteren, there are 4 nitrogen trains where nitrogen is produced that can be blended with high-calorific natural gas. This creates a natural gas quality that corresponds to Groningen quality natural gas, primarily intended for households.
