DETAILS

IGP Methanol LLC has awarded Haldor Topsoe a contract

for engineering of a methanol plant

that will produce 1.8 million tons per year,

which is part of a planned complex

with a total production capacity of 7.2 million tons per year

IGP’s Gulf Coast Methanol complex is planned to be

the world’s largest methanol production facility

and one of the most efficient and environmentally responsible.

Topsoe’s SynCOR Methanol™ technology

will be at the core of the project

IGP plans to construct four identical SynCOR Methanol™ plants

as part of their Gulf Coast Methanol facility

in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, in the U.S.

IGP Methanol LLC was recently granted

a title V Air Quality Permit

by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality,

and the company has also secured

natural gas supply, gas transportation, oxygen and nitrogen supply,

as well as storage and loading partners

for the Gulf Coast Methanol facility.

Production is planned to begin in late 2020.

James Lamoureaux,

Managing Director,

IGP Methanol

"It has been essential for IGP to select best-in-class technology.

 We have chosen Topsoe’s SynCOR Methanol™ technology

 because it offers high single-line capacity

 with the lowest emission per ton of methanol produced

 and unrivaled economies of scale.

 Topsoe’s SynCOR™ reforming technology has proven

 reliable and safe industrial operation,

 and their methanol conversion technology is used worldwide.

 It combines all the qualities we look for in an integrated solution."
