Technip wins contract for a syngas plant in China

French engineering giant Technip has been awarded a basic design and engineering package contract by Sinopec Yangzi Petrochemical Co. Ltd. (YPC) for a syngas plant located in Nanjing, China.

This plant will have a capacity of 25,000m3/hour of carbon monoxide (CO), 16,000m3/hour of oxo gas, and 59,000m3/hour of hydrogen. It will be based on Technip's proprietary reformer technology and Air Products' proprietary cryogenic CO purification technology. The plant is expected to become operational in the first half of 2009.

Technip's operations and engineering center in Zoetermeer (The Netherlands) will execute the contract. Technip's alliance partner, Air Products, will supply the cold box equipment which produces carbon monoxide and hydrogen from the syngas. YPC will perform the detail engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), with support from Technip.
