Arminfo. In September 2009 Armenia technically will be able to receive
7-9 mln sq/m of natural gas per day from Iran against the present 3-3,5
mln sq/m, engineer general of CJSC ArmRusgasprom" Ashot Hovsepyan
told journalists, Wednesday when he was learning the rehabilitation
work at the Ararat-Yerevan sector of the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline.
He also added the Ararat-Yerevan sector of the pipeline is
40 km long, 10 km of which should be rehabilitated because of
damage. A couple of months ago "Techno fit" company has started the
rehabilitation work which will be finished in september 2009, Hovsepyan
said. "ArmRusgasprom" has a task to increase technical potential of
getting maximally possible amount of gas from Iran in case of the
force-major situations, which will raise energy security of Armenia',
- he said and added "Techno fit" implemented new technologies using
polymer and other composing materials, which make it possible to
restore the damaged sectors of the gas pipeline without stopping of
gas supply. Thanks to rehabilitation the gas pipeline will be able to
withstand pressure up to 30-40 atmospheres necessary for delivery of up
to 9 mln sq/m gas per day against the present maximally possible 15-16
atmospheres. The exploiting term of the pipeline will be prolonged
for another 20 years. These technologies may be also used to restore
the damaged sectors of other gas pipelines as well as water pipelines,
he said.
