PROCESS Worldwide brings to you the ‘Top 10 plant engineering projects of April 2023’ from all over the world. Right from UAE’s first large-scale methanol production facility to Emerson automating one of the world’s largest ethane crackers, find out all the projects making headlines here.

Technical studies for Brooge Energy’s green ammonia project in the UAE has been completed by thyssenkrupp Uhde. The project will be making use of thyssenkrupp nucera’s alkaline water electrolysis and thyssenkrupp Uhde ammonia synthesis technologies.

The fifth edition of the API 2350 safety standard relating to large non-pressurized, above-ground petroleum storage tanks contains some significant changes. This article shows how these changes contribute to easier implementation of solutions to prevent overfilling, leading to enhanced plant and worker safety.

Air Liquide’s autothermal reforming technology has been chosen by Inpex Corporation for Japan’s first demonstration project which aims to produce low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia. Once combined with carbon capture technology, autothermal reforming can achieve higher energy efficiency, lower investments and a production process which can assist in capturing up to 99 % of carbon in integrated industrial units.

Plug Power has set a new record by producing 122 MW of PEM electrolyzer stacks in Q1 2023, an industry first at its 2.5 GW gigafactory in New York, USA. Moving further, the company intends to expand its factory to produce 100 MW per month in mid-Q2 2023.

Honeywell has introduced its latest technology – UOP efining technology which can be used for producing low-carbon sustainable aviation fuel. The technology claims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 88 % as compared to conventional jet fuels.

A new report on the use of CO2 for chemicals, advanced fuels, polymers, proteins and minerals by nova-Institute – A deep and comprehensive insight into the evolving technologies, trends and the dynamically growing market of CO2 transformation and utilization.

Under a joint pre-feasibility study, Greenergy and Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies will work together to develop a green hydrogen supply chain which aims to transport low-cost green hydrogen from Canada to the UK.

Under an agreement signed between Linde and Heidelberg Materials, both the firms will jointly develop and operate a large-scale carbon capture and liquefaction facility in Germany. The new project aims to capture, liquefy and purify around 70,000 tons of CO₂ annually.
