T h e world's only large tonnage liquid hydrogen facility—near West Palm Beach/ Florida—has been put on-stream by Air Products, Inc. of Allentown, Pennsylvania. The Lum-mus-designed, engineered and constructed hydrogen production section of the plant has been producing at over-design rate and at 99+% purity (better than design) since the test run was successfully completed 21 days after the initial operation of the
gas generators. The hydrogen production section
combines Florida crude oil, oxygen and water to generate hydrogen gas.
Liquid hydrogen product from the new facility assumes an increasingly vital role in the nation's defense system. New capability in handling, storing and firing liquid hydrogen in rocket engines substantially improves our nation's position in the race for missile and space superiority.
Lummus has completed a number of gas generation units in recent years, and also has extensive experience in design, engineering and construction of plants for ammonia synthesis.
In the past 50 years, Lummus has built over 800 plants to produce petrochemicals, chemicals and petroleum products. If your company is planning facilities of this kind, discuss your plans with Lummus.
