France,Netherlands : Technip inks exclusive cooperation agreement with BTG BioLiquids B.V. (BTL) to provide EPC services for modular pyrolysis plants

Publish Date : 31-Aug-2016

Technip has entered into an exclusive cooperation agreement with BTG BioLiquids B.V. (BTL) to provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for its modular pyrolysis plants. The plants will depend upon BTLs fast pyrolysis oil (FPO) technology which converts biomass to oil through a rapid pyrolysis process.

The agreement brings together Technips global strength in technology, engineering, procurement and construction with BTLs experience in the design and commercial operation of one of the worlds first FPO production facilities. The facility which has been in operation since 2015 in The Netherlands makes use of clean wood as feedstock. Uses of FPO include heat, power, transport fuels and potential bio-based chemicals.

Additionally, Technip and BTL will be collaborating in the development of commercial uses for FPO as renewable fuel and petrochemical feedstock.

Technips operating centre in Zoetermeer, the Netherlands, having significant technology and EPC experience will be managing the agreement. The centre forms part of Technip Stone & Webster Process Technology, which manages Technips expanding portfolio of onshore process technologies in petrochemicals, refining, hydrogen and syngas, polymers and gas monetisation.

Stan Knez, President, Technip Stone & Webster Process Technology, said, "This partnership with BTL will enable Technip to take our development further in a market which is of strategic importance to many of our clients. It will also allow us to better respond to future green projects, linking biomass with the petrochemical and refining industries.

Gerhard Muggen, Managing Director of BTL, said, "This agreement will allow our technology company to launch its global rollout. The strong combination of Technip and BTL will now start to offer turnkey pyrolysis plants and services to industrial companies seeking to develop new bio-sourced applications and anticipate the transition to a bio-based economy.

Minister Henk Kamp of Economic Affairs, the Netherlands, said, This partnership is another step towards a more sustainable refinery sector. I encourage businesses to increase the share of renewables in their energy consumption. That is why the Top Sector Alliance for Knowledge and Innovation (TKI) for chemicals has been involved in the preparation and realisation of this technology that uses biomass as a sustainable resource. The collaboration between Technip and BTL will allow this promising technology to be developed further on a global scale.
