HOUSTON, Mar. 9 -- Air Products & Chemicals Inc., Allentown, Pa., reported Monday that its subsidiary Air Products Canada Ltd. will construct a 71 MMscfd hydrogen production plant adjacent Petro-Canada's 135,000 b/d refinery in Edmonton.
The facility, a natural gas-based steam methane reformer, will help Petro-Canada's refinery produce cleaner transportation fuels and other petroleum products from heavy, sour crude feedstocks. The hydrogen and steam generating facility, to be owned and operated by Air Products under a long-term agreement, is expected to be on stream in April 2006.
