Air Products to build $650 mn coal-to-syngas plant in China




Air Products (APD) has been awarded a long-term onsite contract to supply syngas to Jiutai New Material Co Ltd for their multi-billion-dollar mono-ethylene glycol project in Hohhot, China.
Air Products will build, own and operate the air separation, gasification, and gas clean up processing facility that will include its proven and recently acquired Shell gasification technology. The project is expected to come onstream in the fourth quarter of Air Products’ fiscal year 2021.
Air Products will invest about $650 million to build, own and operate the facility, and will receive a fixed monthly fee under the long-term contract. The facility will be designed to produce over 500,000Nm3/hr of syngas and will be comprised of five gasifiers, two approximately 100,000nm3/hr air separation units (ASU), with syngas purification and processing, as well as associated infrastructure and utilities. Jiutai will supply the coal feedstock and take all output from the plant.
Building on the Lu’An and Yankuang gasifier projects, this will be Air Products’ third opportunity to extend its industrial gas supply scope in China to include coal gasification and syngas supply.
