Scope of the contract includes supplying Technip’s proprietary reforming technology and engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) for the unit.
It also includes engineering, fabrication, supply, installation, pre-commissioning and start-up assistance.
Once complete, the 45,000 normal cubic meters per hour unit allows NCRA to upgrade the refinery.
Technip said the project will utilize its top-fired steam reformer to produce high purity hydrogen and export steam and the latest nitrogen oxide reduction technology to ensure minimum emissions.
The project, which is set for completion by the first semester of 2015, will be accomplished by Technip’s operating center in Claremont, California.
Technip Process Technology senior vice-president Stan Knez said, "We are pleased to have been awarded this project, which is our third for NCRA at this site."
"Previously, we provided a 34 million standard cubic foot per day hydrogen plant and subsequently, executed an expansion project on the same plant. This experience has given us a strong foundation upon which we will provide our technology and services for this important upgrade project," Knez added.
