Technip has recently signed an exclusive cooperation agreement with BTG BioLiquids B.V. (BTL) to provide EPC services for its modular pyrolysis plants. The plants will be based on BTLâs Fast Pyrolysis Oil (FPO) technology which converts biomass to oil through a rapid pyrolysis process.
The agreement combines Technipâs global strength in technology, engineering, procurement and construction with BTLâs experience in the design and commercial operation of one of the worldâs first FPO production facilities. Technip and BTL will also collaborate in the development of commercial uses for FPO as renewable fuel and petrochemical feedstock.
The agreement will be managed by Technipâs operating center in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands, which has significant technology and EPC experience. The center is part of Technip Stone & Webster Process Technology, which looks after Technipâs expanding portfolio of onshore process technologies in petrochemicals, refining, hydrogen and syngas, polymers and gas monetization.
Stan Knez, President, Technip Stone & Webster Process Technology, stated: “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 âgreenâ? projects, linking biomass with the petrochemical and refining industries.”
