BOC signs contracts to supply hydrogen to Chevron and Holly oil refineries
Hydrogen used to produce cleaner burning fuels
Chevron, which is installing additional hydrotreating capacity at its 49,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery, will take hydrogen and steam from BOC's plant, which will be located on the Chevron site. Holly will also receive hydrogen for new hydrotreating capacity at its nearby 26,000 bpd Woods Cross refinery through a five-mile pipeline connection from the BOC facility.
Construction of the hydrogen plant is expected to begin by early July, with production commencing by mid 2006. In the U.S., BOC has a total of 175 million standard cubic feet a day of hydrogen due onstream in 2006, as plants at refineries in Toledo and Lima, Ohio, begin operations.
