Topsoe to be licensor for world's largest methanol facility: United States

摘要

IGP Methanol LLC says that it will license technology from Haldor Topsoe for its new Gulf Coast methanol plant near the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish Louisiana. The 1.8 million t/a is intended to be the first of four identical units which will eventually have 7.2 million t/a of methanol capacity, making it the largest single site methanol complex in the world. For the project, Topsoe will license its SynCOR~(TM) technology. James Lamoureaux, managing director of IGP Methanol, said that the SynCOR technology had been selected because it was ‘best in class’ and offered ‘high single-line capacity with the lowest emission per ton of methanol produced and unrivalled economies of scale.’ He also said that it has ‘proven reliable and safe industrial operation’, and ‘combines all the qualities we look for in an integrated solution.’
