According to the statement, the tests will take place from today (26) until Sunday (29), from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The equipment is designed to ensure the burning of residual gases when the Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN) goes into operation, making it a safety system for the plant.

Curious observers will be able to see a small flame at the top of the flare tower while Petrobras conducts the tests.

The ignition test of the pilot flame system of the flare is part of the construction schedule and was authorized by the ANP – National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels, the State Environment Institute, and the Fire Department.

Petrobras informs that the tests will be conducted with total safety, with no impact or risk to surrounding communities.

About the Rota 3 Petrobras Project

The Integrated Rota 3 Project, under construction in Itaboraí (RJ), will be the third route for transporting natural gas production from Petrobras fields in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin and will have the capacity to process up to 21 million cubic meters of gas per day.

The works of the Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN) are progressing on schedule, as is the installation of the onshore pipeline connecting Maricá to the GasLub Polo in Itaboraí. The works are expected to be completed in 2021.
