Technip (Paris, France; www.technip.com) was awarded a significant contract by CHS Inc. to provide proprietary technology and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for a 40,000-Nm3/h grassroots hydrogen plant at the CHS Refinery in Laurel, Montana.
The plant is part of the company’s ongoing upgrades to boost efficiency, increase diesel production and process additional crudes at its petroleum refinery.
The design will utilize Technip’s high efficiency top-fired steam reforming technology to produce high purity hydrogen and export steam as well as the latest nitrogen oxide reduction technology to ensure minimum emissions.
Technip’s operating center in Claremont, Calif. will execute the project, which is scheduled for completion in 2017.
