Clough successfully completed an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract for a hydrogen transfer line in Kuwait for the Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC). The project aimed to supply hydrogen gas to the new KNPC Gas Oil Desulphurixation (GOD) plant within the Mina Al Ahmadi (MAA) Refinery. The scope of work included the installation of two compressors and approximately 10.5 kilometers of pipeline to facilitate the hydrogen transfer. Additionally, a 2.5km pipeline supplying lean gas and a lean gas compressor for the Shauiba Refinery, along with an 8km pipeline for the supply of hydrogen to the refineries, were also part of the project. Upgrades to the distributed control systems (DCS) in both refineries and civil, concrete, and structural steel work were integral to the project. This integration of new compressor and pipeline systems through the MAA and PAI Refineries to the Shauiba Refinery demonstrates a significant infrastructure enhancement in Kuwait's Oil & Gas sector. The successful completion of this project signifies a substantial milestone in KNPC's efforts to modernize and improve its petrochemical activities through efficient hydrogen distribution.
