Topsoe awarded contract for a coal to SNG plant with Hui Neng in China

Topsoe has been awarded the contract for the second out of four SNG projects approved by China’s National Development and Reform Commission. The plant will be commissioned by the Hui Neng Group, a major coal mining company in the Inner Mongolia region. The plant will produce SNG (Substitute Natural Gas) based on syngas from coal gasification, and on site the SNG will be converted into LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas).

Topsoe will be the licensor for the methanation section and will supply license, engineering design, catalyst and service.

Clean energy
The use of coal for LNG production provides an environmentally responsible use of coal resources and efficient transportation of clean energy.

The SNG has more stringent product quality requirements than standard pipeline quality with higher purity and higher methane content as well as strict product limitations on CO2 content.

"We are very pleased to initiate this project with the Hui Neng Group, and we look forward to contributing to the sustainable use of China’s coal resources," says Jens Michael Poulsen, Technology Sales Manager, Topsoe.

Plant capacity
The Hui Neng SNG plant has a total planned capacity of 1.6 billion Nm3 per year SNG production to LNG, and the first execution phase is 400 million Nm3 per year SNG. The plant will be brought into operation by end of 2013.
