Johnson Matthey announces acceptance of first COG to LNG project

摘要

Johnson Matthey has announced the acceptance of its coke oven gas (COG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) project with Xinkuang Hengkung near Yinchuan, China. The new plant, using Johnson Matthey's technology license, engineering, catalysts, and technical services, produces LNG utilizing the offgas from their coke ovens, and has been accepted by Xinkuang Hengkung on the basis of its technical performance following plant commissioning. Xinkuang Hengkung is a major producer of coke with current capacity of over 1.3 M tonne/y. By using the proprietary CRG methanation process available through Johnson Matthey Davy Technologies (JM Davy), the plant is able to convert carbon oxides and hydrogen in the offgases from their coke ovens to methane which is subsequently liquefied to make a valuable energy product.
