Air Products (AP) recently announced that its new SMR and cold box in Geismar, Louisiana are onstream and supplying Huntsman’s neighboring industrial operations.

AP built, owns and operates the facility under a long-term agreement, supplying CO, hydrogen and steam produced from the facility to Huntsman. AP’ SMR is also connected to its Gulf Coast hydrogen pipeline and network system (GCP), which is the world’s largest hydrogen plant and pipeline network system.

The new facility produces approximately 6.5 million scf per day (MMSCFD) of CO, 50 MMSCFD of hydrogen, and up to 50,000 pounds per hour of steam. The facility is also capable of being expanded to increase CO supply in the future to support additional demand.

“We have a long-standing relationship with Huntsman, and the facility is state-of-the-art and offers high reliability and sustainability, with enhanced energy efficiency and reduced emissions,” said Dr. Samir J. Serhan, COO at AP.
