Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor International Corp. (MCO-I) has delivered syngas and ammonia refrigeration compressor trains for the Beaumont New Ammonia Project in Beaumont, Texas. This facility, originally developed by OCI Global as the OCI Clean Ammonia project, now owned by Woodside Energy, will be the first large-scale, lower-carbon greenfield ammonia facility in the world.
MCO-I’s scope of supply included two API 617 compressors and a double-ended synchronous motor for the syngas train, as well as an API 617 compressor train driven by an API 612 steam turbine for the ammonia refrigeration service.
This project’s execution involved dedicated teams from MCO-I and its parent company, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor Corp. (MCO), overseeing project management, procurement, manufacturing, and quality assurance. Manufacturing and packaging were shared between MCO’s Hiroshima, Japan, facility and MCO-I’s Pearland Works facility in Texas.
The Beaumont facility will have a production capacity of 3000 metric tons per day, leveraging advanced carbon capture and sequestration technology to produce lower carbon ammonia. This facility’s construction highlights the increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions in emission-intensive industries, including the fertilizer, industrial, and power sectors.
