Phillips 66 has let a long-term contract to Linde PLC subsidiary Praxair Inc. to supply high-purity hydrogen to the 256,000-b/d Sweeny refinery in Old Ocean, Tex. As part of the contract, Praxair will extend its 310-mile US Gulf Coast hydrogen pipeline system, which currently extends from Freeport, Tex., to Lake Charles, La., to connect with the Sweeny refinery, as well as build, own, and operate a new steam methane reformer that will connect to the pipeline system at a location still to be determined.
