Technip awarded contract for hydrogen plant in Louisiana
Posted: 29 July 2004
Technip announces today that Technip USA Corp., its U.S. entity based in Claremont (California), has been awarded a 110 million standard cubic foot per day hydrogen plant by Air Products and Chemicals, Inc to be located at Convent, Louisiana.
Technip’s scope covers design, engineering and procurement for the plant. The hydrogen plant will utilize Technip’s state of the art steam reforming technology and the design will be tailored for a high degree of energy efficiency as well as environmental compliance.
The plant will supply hydrogen to the Motiva Enterprises LLC and Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC (MAP) refineries respectively in Convent and Garyville (capacity: 225,000 barrel-per-day and 255,000 barrel-per-day). The unit will also provide hydrogen to Air Products’ Mississippi River corridor pipeline system. The hydrogen facility, which will help produce cleaner transportation fuels and other petroleum products from heavier, sour crude feedstocks, will be owned and operated by Air Products and is expected to be on-stream in November 2005.
Technip has been in a global alliance with Air Products since 1992 for the supply of hydrogen plants worldwide, and has so far supplied 24 hydrogen facilities, with an aggregate capacity of over one billion standard cubic feet per day of hydrogen.
