DETAILS
Technip was awarded a contract by Air Products
to provide technology, engineering and procurement services
for a grassroots hydrogen plant
in Baytown, Texas, USA.
The 3.5 million standard cubic meters per day plant
will produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide (CO)
to be supplied to customers from Air Products’
established Gulf Coast Hydrogen and CO Pipeline Networks.
The plant will be built through
the global hydrogen alliance(1)
between Air Products and Technip.
It will feature Technip’s proprietary
high efficiency steam methane reforming (SMR) technology
to produce high purity hydrogen, carbon monoxide
and export steam.
It will also use the latest nitrogen oxide reduction technology
to reduce emissions.
Technip’s operating center in Claremont, California, USA,
will execute the project, which is scheduled
for completion in 2018.
Stan Knez,
President, Technip Stone & Webster Process Technology
"We are proud that our SMR technology
is helping customers meet the world’s growing energy needs
in a reliable, efficient and sustainable manner.
We look forward to executing this new project
under our global alliance with Air Products.
This is the longest and most productive global hydrogen alliance
supporting the oil and gas industry around the world.”
Fast facts
About onshore products
- Hydrogen: hydrogen is widely used in
petroleum refining processes to remove impurities
found in crude oil such as sulfur, olefins and aromatics
to meet the product fuels specifications.
Removing these components allows gasoline and diesel
to burn cleaner and thus makes hydrogen
a critical component in the production of cleaner fuels
needed by modern, efficient internal combustion engines. - Reformer: a reformer
(also called steam reformer or steam methane reformer)
is a widely used industrial processing device
in which a fossil fuel reacts with steam
at high temperatures in the presence of a catalyst
to produce hydrogen.
