怀俄明州的未来准备工业工程

Possibilities for coal’s carbon and chemical properties are expanding, revolutionizing the way in which we view this natural resource. 一种新的碳经济即将出现, and it is already proving to be a gamechanger in the United States, 促进了怀俄明州的当地经济.

Wood has partnered with the University of 怀俄明 (UW) School of 能源 资源 (SER) and Atlas Carbon to design a coal refinery field demonstration project near Gillette, 怀俄明. The site is being developed and operated collaboratively to create and showcase a sustainable coal refinery process as well as product technologies, 在商业前规模, 使用怀俄明州粉河盆地(PRB)煤炭.

UW SER’s Center for 碳捕获 and Conversion (CCCC) has developed a thermochemical process technology which integrates thermal coal solvent extraction and fast thermal-pyrolysis processing- a critical part of the carbon engineering program and the process around which this project is centred. The technology efficiently decomposes coal to beneficial liquids and solids that can be used in a variety of valuable, non-energy products such as building and construction materials, 沥青产品, 农业土壤改良剂. To date, the state of 怀俄明 has invested over $30 million on such projects.

“在现场演示的下一阶段, the pyrolysis portion of the technology will be installed to create larger volumes of coal char that can then be used to manufacture these products, with hopes to add the solvent extraction portion of the process in order to fully integrate the technology,中交临时董事崔娜·菲佛说.

启动这个项目, Wood完成了第一阶段的工地工程研究, as well as a corresponding feasibility study which integrated UW’s coal refinery technology to showcase a first-of-a-kind field demonstration. 现在破土动工已经完成, the novel coal-processing technology site will be located adjacent to the existing Atlas Carbon, LLC activated carbon production facility at Fort Union Industrial Park, 伍德操纵, 允许操作洞察力, 选煤专业知识, and safety capabilities of the Wood team to be leveraged on both sites. 怀俄明州创新中心也位于附近, 使这里成为现场演示的理想场所.

“Our team has had immense success working with Atlas Carbon to upgrade their activated carbon production facility and improve operations and safety initiatives on site. We’re excited to grow this relationship further by taking the next step as we work together in a new partnership with University of 怀俄明. Our teams have world class engineering and operations experience, and we are ready to help drive forward a new carbon economy in the state,尼古拉斯·皮尔森说, Wood的运营和维护副总裁.

弗兰克·利维, 阿特拉斯碳公司首席执行官兼董事长说, “The new pilot facility will enable Atlas Carbon’s continued improvement of activated carbons produced from high-quality coal as a feedstock. Many of our products are currently used for air and water purification, but this project showcases the beginning of many more possibilities for Powder River Basin coal in 怀俄明.”

在完成, this coal refinery field demonstration project will help to lead the way in the evolution of a new carbon economy, showcasing the variety of possibilities derived from Powder River Basin coal to potential industry and commercial stakeholders while boosting 怀俄明’s economy as the state revolutionizes carbon management.

“我们很自豪能够继续在怀俄明州发展我们的业务, 位于波德河盆地的中心, supporting the state in this innovative process of turning coal into valuable nonenergy products. This collaboration with University of 怀俄明 and Atlas Carbon aligns with Wood’s pursuit of future-ready, innovative technology and complements our ongoing re搜索 with the university to develop additional industry solutions,皮尔森说。.
