The second integrated hydrogen and cogeneration plant will be constructed by Air Products at Port Arthur in Texas to supply Premcor.
Air Products have announced that is has signed a Letter of Intent to construct a new hydrogen production plant in Port Arthur, Texas to supply 110 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of hydrogen to The Premcor Refining Group Inc. The hydrogen will be used to supply Premcor’s refinery and additional customers on Air Products’ Gulf Coast hydrogen pipeline system.
Air Products will produce 1000 megawatts of power for use by both companies and 1.2 million pounds per day of stream for Premcor’s operation. The plant that will be owned and operated by Air Products is expected to be on-stream in June 2006.
Premcor will use the hydrogen to meet national regulations to make cleaner transportation fuels. The steam and power reduction will allow Premcor to shutdown existing production assets to voluntarily reduce NOx emissions and also meet Premcor’s increased stream and power requirements associated with its new diesel hydrotreater.
