Tratner has received an order to supply its heat exchangers to carbon capture application, set to be used in a blue hydrogen plant.
The order includes six large plate and frame heat exchangers in stainless steel and 254 SMO with EPDM gaskets, which will be used for heat recovery and vent condensers in the removal process of CO2 from a gas stream, carried out by absorption in a continuous process with regenerable solvents.
The heat exchangers were ordered by a major EPC contractor in gas processing, separation and liquefaction technologies. The engineering and procurement activities were done by its entity in India and the purchase order was managed by its headquarters in Germany.
The blue hydrogen project, located in Texas, the US, will supply hydrogen and nitrogen for the production of blue ammonia in the region and will provide clean hydrogen to companies in the US Gulf Coast aiming to decarbonise.
Thomas Cassirer, Director EPC and Global Energy, said, “Tratner was an early runner with plate and frame heat exchangers in post combustion carbon capture pilot plants back in 2010-2011, where we gained in-depth knowledge of the application, process, design and operation of carbon capture plants.
“As carbon capture plants now are commercialising to meet the global Net Zero goals, Tratner is a trusted advisor for the engineering companies during their engineering and design, and to the end user during operation of the plant with our service presence in Houston, the US.”
EPC Area Sales Manager, Drazen Dragicevic, added, “Knowing the process design for plate heat exchangers in the post combustion carbon capture application was a key success factor to gain the customer’s trust and confidence for this project.
“We had several discussions with their engineers regarding design margins, shear stress, port size and velocities to ensure safe and trouble-free operation of the heat exchangers in their process.
“Further, our ability to work globally and address all stakeholders’ concerns in India, Germany, and the US, made it clear that Tratner was a first-choice provider of plate and frame heat exchangers to this project.”
