Liquefied natural gas (LNG) and helium company Renergen says its LNG Virginia plant, in the Free State, has resumed LNG production after yearly maintenance of the entire plant and the notified State-owned Eskom maintenance was completed.

The helium module is being started and will be brought down to temperature in order to recommence filling.

"The scheduled maintenance was completed within our scheduled timelines and, for the first time, was managed and supervised completely by our own engineering, operations and maintenance departments since having taken control of the process plant," said Renergen CEO Stefano Marani.

"We look forward to continued improvement and stability in the system following the maintenance, and we look forward to filling and delivering containers for customers again."

The source of the Virginia Gas Project’s natural gas is primarily microbial. It originates from deep within the Witwatersrand Supergroup via groundwater circulating through large faults and contacting bacteria deep within the earth’s crust.

This means the methane is biogenic and a continuing renewable resource. Its natural gas contains one of the richest helium concentrations recorded globally.
