Air Products-Pallas Seal Hydrogen Supply Deal

US industrial gases producer Air Products has signed a long-term hydrogen supply agreement with Pallas Nitrogen Texas to supply 44 million standard cbf/d of hydrogen from its existing Gulf Coast Pipeline (GCP) to the Dallas company’s production site at Pasadena, Texas.

Supply will begin in mid-2016 when Pallas starts up ammonia production operations at its new facility built on land leased from Air Products.

“This contract further loads our Gulf Coast hydrogen pipeline and network system, and at the same time makes use of some available land at our Pasadena plant, said Bill Hammarstrom, vice president, HyCO Americas at Air Products. The arrangement “illustrates our continuous improvement approach to optimize our capabilities and assets,” he added.

Hammarstrom said this agreement again demonstrates the value of the 600-mile GCP. Claimed to be the world’s largest hydrogen plant and pipeline network system, it stretches from the Houston Ship Channel in Texas to New Orleans, Louisiana, and supplies the gases producer’s customers with over 1.4 billion cbf/d of hydrogen from over 21 hydrogen production facilities.
