MOL Danube Refinery
Oil and gas processing equipment supplier Frames is awarded a contract to supply a hydrogen recovery and purification system for the MOL Danube Refinery at Százhalombatta near Budapest. The purification system will recover hydrogen from vent recycled gas, improving the overall efficiency of the refinery’s hydrogen recovery and reducing operation costs, according to the company.
MOL Group is reportedly committed to making efficiency improvements in its refinery processing. This includes recovery of hydrogen from vent gas and utilizing this hydrogen to reduce the quantity of makeup hydrogen produced by hydrogen plants. The Frames system will be used for hydrogen recovery and purification of vent recycled gas produced by the Mild Hydrocracker Unit (MHC). The Frames Hydrogen Recovery System also contributes to utilization reduction in the hydrogen plants’ natural gas feed and related operational costs, according to the company.
The Frames Hydrogen Recovery and Purification System features highly sensitive membrane technology from Frames’ strategic partner, Membrane Technology and Research, Inc. (MTR), allowing MOL Group to optimize the required hydrogen purity and recovery levels. It is supplied as a complete skid mounted unit ready for installation in the existing plant. Frames is also responsible for the site interface engineering and will provide on-site supervision during installation, commissioning and system start-up.
In 2019, Frames was awarded a contract for the supply of two desalters (electrostatic coalescers) to the Danube Refinery, according to the company.
