Amec Foster Wheeler has signed an agreement with D’Arcinoff Group, a US-based investment and alternativetechnology development company, to provide engineering and technical services for an integrated 30,000 bpd syngas-to-liquids facility being built in Texas.
It is known as the West Texas Renewable and Gas Monetization Project in Hudspeth County, Texas. The facility will primarily produce jet fuels.
The contract value for the competitively awarded project was not disclosed.
“This award confirms our combined technical expertise in gasification, gas monetization and gas-to-liquidsprojects following separate work streams," said Simon Naylor, Americas group president for Amec Foster Wheeler. "Foster Wheeler completed the initial feasibility study for the new jet fuel facility, and separately, Amec had worked with some of the key process technology suppliers included in the plans for this innovative project.”
The West Texas Renewable and Gas Monetization Project is part of the D’Arcinoff Group Energy Program, anenvironmentally clean, natural gas and biomass-to liquid-fuel and power generation initiative.
Amec Foster Wheeler’s scope of work includes engineering design and definition work utilizing key processtechnology and equipment suppliers, as well as execution planning activities for the facility that will use biomass gasification combined with West Texas shale gas to feed a Fischer Tropsch process unit to produce jet fuel.
"This agreement is an important milestone that puts D’Arcinoff Group on track to deliver competitively priced, low carbon dioxide emissions jet fuel to our important airline and other customers," said Michael C. Darcy, CEO of the D’Arcinoff Group.
