EPC Contract for an Amine Plant Signed With Aker Clean Carbon AS
On behalf of the future partnership of the European CO2 Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM), StatoilHydro has signed an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract with Aker Clean Carbon AS for an amine plant at TCM. The contract has a value of approximatelyNOK 525 million.
According to plans, TCM shall test two different technologies for capturing CO2 from two flue gas sources with respectively low and high CO2 contents. The contract with Aker Clean Carbon AS for amine technology lasts until the end of 2011. In addition, it is planned that TCM shall also test the "chilled-ammonia" CO2-process. The TCM project is working on putting into place an equivalent contract with another contractor.
"The contract that has been signed with Aker Clean Carbon AS is an important milestone for TCM. The ambitions for TCM as a testing arena are high. Especially, there are expectations that the centre will provide various learning effects regarding technology scale-up, operational conditions, environmental consequences and the testing of sub-contractor deliverables. One of the goals of testing amines is to qualify the technology for the large-scale treatment of exhaust gases, and at the same time develop cost-efficient technologies," saysBjorn-Erik Haugan, the managing director of Gassnova, on behalf of the TCM partnership.
