Alberta Gas Chemicals Methanol Plant Expansion
Client: Alberta Gas Chemicals, Ltd.
Location: Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada
Business Segment: Energy Solutions
Industry: Chemicals
Executive Summary
Fluor provided engineering, procurement and construction on the largest single-unit reformer built at the time in Canada. The reformer was a key element in the methanol plant expansion for Alberta Gas Chemicals.
Client's Challenge
The new 1,200 T/D chemical-grade methanol facility would double Alberta Gas Chemicals' methanol production capability at Medicine Hat.
It included the process operations of natural gas stream reforming, compression, synthesis and distillation.
Fluor's Solution
Our office in Calgary completed the engineering with a task force that peaked at over 200 engineers and technical specialists.
Our project management team oversaw construction that was performed by both Fluor direct-hire labor and by 30 subcontractors.
The assignment also called for development of utility and offsite facilities and integration of the new plant with existing facility.
Conclusion
We completed the methanol plant expansion project ahead of schedule and under budget.
The new plant was based on Alberta Gas technology and ICI methanol synthesis.
