Air Products APD
today announced the signing of an agreement to expand its existing syngas
separation unit (SSU) in Geismar, Louisiana to increase the supply of carbon
monoxide (CO). The increased capacity of CO is mainly for the supply of BASF's
publicly-announced world-scale formic acid plant to be built at BASF's Geismar
Verbund site.
The facility expansion will also provide Air Products increased hydrogen
production for sale to refinery and petrochemical customers along its vast
Gulf Coast hydrogen pipeline network system, and will further support filling
of bulk CO tube trailers from its existing Geismar transfill facility. The
incremental SSU expansion is expected to commence operations in the second
quarter of 2014.
