Joint venture breaks ground for second plant at Lagoven`s Amuay refinery in Venezuela. The Foster Wheeler Power Systems (FWPS) Inc. and BOC Gases joint venture to build, own and operate {open_quotes}over-the-fence{close_quotes} hydrogen plants reached two important milestones last spring. The first was inauguration on May 27 of its first-ever project, an 8-million-cubic-foot-per-day plant located at Chile`s Petrox refinery, in Talcahuano. The second was ground breaking less than three weeks later for the planned 50-million-cubic-foot-per-day plant at Lagoven, S.A.`s sprawling 630,000-barrel-a-day refinery in Amuay, Venezuela. Ceremonies marking the start-up of the Talcahuano plant were presided over by Benjamin Teplizky, Chile`s Minister of Mining. The plant is significant because it is the first privately owned plant of its kind ever to be built in Chile. The 99.9% pure hydrogen produced by the plant serves the requirements of the refinery`s recently constructed hydrocracking unit which helps the refinery meet lower sulfur levels in diesel and fuel oils and reduce aromatics content in gasoline.
