Project Profile
Estimated Value: US$200 Million.
Completion Year: 2011.
Location: Selangor State, Malaysia.
A new hydrogen production facility is currently under construction in West Port, Selangor. The project which is being handled by \'Air Products\' is expected to support the growing product demand in the region.
The facility will include a steam methane reformer (SMR) which will have a hydrogen production capacity of over 1.5 million standard cubic feet per day. The facility is expected to supply high purity hydrogen and steam to its on-site customers as well as supply the fast growing merchant hydrogen market in central Malaysia.
A variety of industries utilize the hydrogen produced by the SMR, for example, the oleochemical manufacturers who produce fatty alcohols, fatty acid and methyl esters. These products are ultimately used to manufacture surfactants and derivatives for a variety of end use markets like: cosmetics, toiletries, detergents, plasticisers, lubricants and disinfectants.
