French engineering and technology company Technip Energies has selected U.S. energy technology company Baker Hughes to supply a steam turbine generator along with critical centrifugal compression equipment for the Blue Point Number One ammonia project in Louisiana, U.S., a joint venture between U.S. ammonia producer CF Industries and Japanese giants JERA and Mitsui & Co.
According to Baker Hughes, its technology solutions will enable the Blue Point Number One to produce blue ammonia through an autothermal reforming (ATR) process along with an integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS) system designed to sequester up to 2.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year. As disclosed, Baker Hughes’ scope includes a range of compressors, including an ammonia compressor, a syngas compressor, a recycle compressor, and a CO2 compressor, to deliver the captured CO2 to geological storage via pipeline, as well as a steam turbine-driven BRUSH Power Generation generator.
