Topsoe technology supports new large-scale methanol plant
Topsoe has delivered licensed process technology, basic engineering, catalysts and services for the first greenfield methanol plant in the U.S. in many years. Located in Clear Lake, Texas, the plant is a 50/50 joint venture between Celanese Corporation and Mitsui & Co. Ltd., formally known as Fairway Methanol LLC, and has an annual capacity of 1.3 million metric tons.
The methanol plant uses Topsoe’s two-step reforming technology, including its state-of-the-art autothermal reforming (ATR) technology, as well as a proprietary waste heat boiler design.
The methanol plant is also equipped with Topsoe pollution control, including SCR and CATOX technologies to keep emissions of NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in compliance with U.S. environmental regulations.
“We are very pleased that Fairway Methanol LLC has chosen Topsoe’s technology for this important project and we are confident that they will see clear, long-term benefits from this industry-leading solution,” says Per Bakkerud, Group Vice President of Topsoe.
Anders N. Olsen, CEO of Haldor Topsoe, Inc., further adds: “We see this as a landmark reference to showcase our methanol technology in the North American market. We expect more companies will be inspired by Fairway Methanol LLC and realize the value of a strong technology partner with a significant local presence to bring their projects to fruition.”
