NEXTCHEM's KT Tech to Provide Hydrogen Technology for Dung Quat Refinery Expansion in Vietnam
Key Ideas
- KT Tech, a subsidiary of NEXTCHEM, will provide licensing and process design for NX Reform™ hydrogen technology for Dung Quat Refinery's expansion project.
- The hydrogen production unit will have a capacity of 22,676 cubic meters per hour, offering cost-effective production and potential carbon footprint reduction.
- The technology is based on steam methane reforming, providing operational efficiency and flexibility in feedstock and capacity.
- KT Tech will also supply proprietary equipment during the plant's construction phase, contributing to efficiency and lower consumptions.
NEXTCHEM's subsidiary KT Tech has secured a significant agreement with Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Joint Stock Company (BSR) for the licensing and Process Design Package (PDP) of a new hydrogen production unit in Vietnam's Dung Quat Refinery upgrading project. The new unit, with a capacity of 22,676 cubic meters per hour, will utilize the NX Reform™ hydrogen technology known for its cost-effectiveness and potential to reduce the carbon footprint through CO2 capture. The technology's flexibility in feedstock and capacity makes it adaptable for varied production needs. By leveraging steam methane reforming methods, high operational efficiency is ensured. KT Tech will not only design the unit but also supply proprietary equipment during the construction phase. MAIRE CEO, Alessandro Bernini, expressed pride in this achievement, highlighting the enhancement of plant efficiency and lower consumptions. This development reinforces KT Tech and NEXTCHEM's position in providing sustainable and efficient technological solutions for refinery upgrades, aligning with the industry's push towards energy sustainability.
