Air Products to Build Hydrogen Plant for PetroChina

摘要

Air Products says its joint venture company based in Sichuan province, China has signed a long-term agreement to build a hydrogen production facility for PetroChina. The steam methane reformer (SMR) will produce hydrogen and syngas to support PetroChina's Sichuan refinery and petrochemical facilities. The facility will produce over 90 million standard cu feet/day of hydrogen and it is expected to come onstream in early 2012. This is the first time that a state-owned refinery in China has outsourced its hydrogen requirements, Air Products says.
