Technip and Air Products global hydrogen alliance marks 20 years of success
Technip and Air Products are celebrating two decades of operational excellence and success to mark the 20-year milestone of the longest and most productive global hydrogen alliance supporting the oil and gas industry around the world.
The global alliance was formed in 1992 to meet refining industry demands for outsourced hydrogen to make cleaner burning transportations fuels. During two decades, Technip and Air Products have constructed 35 steam methane reformer (SMR) hydrogen production plants. Located in 11 countries, the combined facilities provide the refining and petrochemical industry with more than 56 million standard cubic meters per day of hydrogen.
Thierry Pilenko, Technip’s Chairman and CEO, stated: “Technip is proud to be a member of this alliance. The valuable feedback we have received from the plants designed for Air Products, coupled with Technip’s high standards in design and engineering, have improved long-term operations, where reliability over the years is the main focus. In the end, the refining industry benefits by receiving a reliable and cost-effective source of hydrogen. In addition, our global footprint ensures that Technip can accompany its clients around the world, on their projects of tomorrow.”
John E. McGlade, Chairman, President and CEO of Air Products, said: “This alliance led the global refining industry’s major shift in decision-making to purchase hydrogen from a third-party instead of making its own. Outsourced hydrogen is supplied to our customers on a 24/7 basis in tonnage quantities, and is a critical requirement for refineries to meet clean fuels standards. We are very proud to have been working side-by-side with Technip on several continents to help our customers in helping to meet the world’s growing energy needs in the most reliable, efficient and sustainable manner.”
To commemorate the 20-year milestone of the alliance, Technip and Air Products awarded a total of $200,000 in scholarships to four colleges and universities: Indian Institute of Technology (Madras, India); King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Saudi Arabia); Lehigh University (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania); and Rice University (Houston, Texas).
