Kvaerner process

The three tenders submitted were all of a very high standard and achieved Orica s requirements and specifications. The tender selected was therefore based on lowest net operating cost and was awarded to Kvaerner Chemetics in conjunction with Chlorine Engineers Corporation for electrolyser supply. Kvaerner Chemetics also separately contracted Kvaerner Process Australia to provide local construction management and some local design expertise. 

Subsequent to awarding the contract for the two chlor-alkali plants to Kvaerner Chemetics, Orica contracted with Kvaerner Process Australia to provide services for the chlor-paraffin plant and Outside Battery Limits activities associated with the new Melbourne site, as this would bring synergies to the total project as well as potential cost savings. 

In the EDS II phase of the ACWA program, Eco Logic became the prime contractor for a team that also included Kvaerner Process Systems Inc., Foster Wheeler, and El Dorado Engineering.

ILPM [Improved Low-Pressure Methanol] A process for making methanol from natural gas, which has two stages. The first stage converts the gas to CRG. The second stage converts this gas to methanol in a Kvaemer Steam Raising Reactor. Developed by Kvaerner Process Technology in 2000, and proposed for use in Germany from 2003.

The various Prayon processes, as summarized in Table 11.23, are offered by Kvaerner Process Technology, London, England. Since 1984 Kvaerner (formerly Davy McKee) has engineered six plants of 100- to 1,310-tpd P2O5 capacity and provided engineering and supervision of construction for up to 59 wet-process acid plants in prior years.

The Institute of Environmental and Energy Technology (TNO) in Netherlands have developed macroporous polypropylene membrane contactors and used it with alkali aminoacid salt as absorbant. No wetting or degradation of polypropylene membrane surface was observed and hence stable membrane performance was reported. The Kvaerner Process is used for Teflon membranes with aqueous amine solutions of MEA, DEA, MDEA and DIP A. The membrane system was used to recover acid gases from natural gas for offshore platform applications. No performance data are available for the flue gas treatment.
