KT Tech will design a new hydrogen production unit and supply steam methane reforming (SMR) equipment to the Dung Quat Refinery in Vietnam.
Under a Process Design Package (PDP) contract, awarded by Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Joint Stock Company (BSR), the NEXTCHEM (MAIRE) subsidiary will expand and upgrade the Vietnamese refinery.
The contract will ensure KT Tech designs a hydrogen production unit based on NX Reform technology, with a capacity of 22,675 metres per hour.
NX Reform reportedly enables “cost-effective hydrogen production and offers the potential to reduce the carbon footprint by incorporating CO2 capture technology.” It can also provide flexibility in feedstock and capacity to allow for production adaptability.
