Pennsylvania/USA – Air Products Qudra, in collaboration with the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, recently held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of work in building a world-class, fully-integrated industrial gases hub in the Jubail Industrial City.

The significant investment by Air Products Qudra involves building, owning and operating a world-scale steam methane reformer (SMR) to produce hydrogen and an air separation unit (ASU) to produce oxygen and nitrogen. It also includes the construction of hydrogen pressure swing adsorption (PSA) units to recover hydrogen from off-gases; and the installation of comprehensive pipeline networks to connect and transport industrial gases to the broad refinery and chemical customer base in the region.

On completion in 2023, the industrial gases hub will reliably serve the continued growth of Jubail Industrial City and support the growing prosperity of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It will also enable Jubail to achieve higher values for off-gases and introduce new technologies to convert low-value feedstocks into high-value products.

Specialist Book „Heat Transfer Technique“The comprehensive standard work „Heat Transfer Technique“ offers not only a detailed and well-founded presentation of the basics of heat transfer technique, but also shows the latest state of the art and the latest regulations in the use of organic fluids. Thematically, the book is rounded off with an overview of property data of organic heat transfer fluids as well as many use cases from practical experience.

The SMR hydrogen production plant to be built, owned and operated by Air Products Qudra, will match the largest ever built by Air Products. The SMR, which will serve refineries and petrochemical industries to fulfill the growing demand in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia, will feature the latest technology to maximise energy efficiency and reduce emissions, and include optimal heat integration to reduce and lower feedstock consumption. The plant configuration and deployed technologies will also contribute to Air Products’ sustainability goals of reducing energy consumption and emissions.
