Air Products Canada has celebrated the commercialisation of its first hydrogen production facility to serve the Canadian refining industry with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Alberta, Canada.
Air Products’ 71 million standard-cubic-feet-per-day (MMSCFD) hydrogen production plant serves the Petro-Canada and Imperial Oil refineries, and other customers in the local area.
“We are excited to have this facility on-stream and to be working with the refining industry in Canada. This facility is the first of three hydrogen plants we will have operating in Canada by 2008.
