Air Products Begins Construction on Plant To Supply CO & Hydrogen to Huntsman

摘要

Geismar-Air Products has broken ground on a new steam methane reformer and cold box in Geismar, La., which will supply carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen and steam to Huntsman's local operations (PCN, 24 July 2017, p 3). The plant, to be owned and operated by Air Products, is being built on land leased by Huntsman, and will produce about 6.5-million standard cu ft/d of CO, 50-million standard cu ft/d of hydrogen and up to 50,000 lbs/hr of steam. It can be expanded to increase CO production in the future. Commercial operations are due to begin in early 2020.
