Topsoe has recently been awarded a contract for the supply of license, engineering and catalysts for an over 600,000 Nm3/hr hydrogen production capacity for Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) for its New Refinery Project in Kuwait.

“The selection by KNPC of our technology is based on the recognition of our extensive experience with the technology and catalysts needed for hydrogen production based on multiple feeds requiring prereformer technology and catalysts for which Topsoe is world leader. Within the same refinery project, we have also been honoured with the award of several naphtha and kerosene hydrotreating units”, says Ole Ekner, Director, Technology Division of Haldor Topsoe A/S.

The KNPC project will mean the installation of the world’s largest on-purpose hydrogen production capacity at a single location. The hydrogen will be used for product upgrading and production of low sulphur fuels. The production unit includes Topsoe’s Radiant-Wall technology for reliability, a prereformer, and a high efficiency process layout to attain world-class plant energy efficiency.
