Air Products Celebrates the Commercialization of its New Canada Hydrogen Plant
The hydrogen production facility, a natural gas-based steam methane reformer, assists refiners to produce cleaner transportation fuels and other petroleum products from heavier crude feedstocks. The Air Products facility is located adjacent to the Petro-Canada Edmonton Refinery and will also supply other customers in the area by pipeline. The supply arrangement is one of over 25 that Air Products has undertaken with refiners worldwide.
Additionally, Air Products has commenced engineering to expand production capacity at the facility through construction of a second hydrogen plant at the same location. Announced in January 2006, the 105 MMSCFD facility expansion will serve several customers in the Alberta Industrial Heartlands corridor along with the Petro-Canada refinery. This plant will be the first Air Products facility to provide the sale of hydrogen for use in the processing of Canadian oil sands into gasoline and diesel fuel. It is expected on-stream in April 2008.
