CB&I (The Woodlands, Tex.; www.cbi.com) has signed a long-term alliance agreement with Haldor Topsøe A/S (Lyngby, Denmark; www.topsoe.com) that will expand CB&I’s licensing position for syngas opportunities.
As part of the agreement, CB&I will promote Haldor Topsøe’s licensed syngas-based technologies, which complement CB&I’s existing technology portfolio. CB&I also will work with Haldor Topsøe on the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of plants in North America.
“This strategic alliance expands CB&I’s portfolio to include syngas-based technologies and gives us additional competitive offerings for the industry,” says Patrick K. Mullen, CB&I’s chief operating officer. “We have a long history of technology collaboration with Haldor Topsøe and are confident that through our combined expertise, this new partnership will bring tremendous value to our customers.”
The alliance further expands CB&I’s portfolio of more than 90 technologies and 3,500 patents by leveraging eight additional Haldor Topsøe technologies, while capitalizing on the company’s EPC expertise.
CB&I and Haldor Topsøe previously announced a technology bundling award for the Pertamina refinery upgrade, which will use CB&I’s CDAlky advanced sulfuric acid alkylation technology and Haldor Topsøe’s Wet gas Sulfuric Acid (WSA) technology.
