5 Air Liquide Syngas Generation & Conditioning Portfolio 1) 1) Light Hydrocarbon route C1 C8; Technologies for conversion of Coal, Heavy Oil, Biomass available but not presented here. 5 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health

6 Superior Syngas Solutions - Track Record Natural Gas Lurgi Steam Reformer Syngas More than 130 Steam Reformer plants built Oxygen Natural Gas Steam Lurgi Autothermal Reforming More than 30 Autothermal Reformer built Syngas Lurgi built POX Plants Feed O2/Steam Burner Sat. HP-Steam More than 30 POX plants built with more that 100 reactors (1) Syngas 1) ncludes Lurgi MPG, Lurgi Gas POx, Shell licensed references 6 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health

7 What is POXSYN TM? POXSYN TM describes various innovative process solutions for syngas generation based on Air Liquide s superior Gas POx technology leveraging Synergies between different process units and utility system with the goal to improve overall process performance and reducing direct emissions. 7 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health

8 POXSYN TM - Mastering all process units Standard ASU Plant Lurgi Gas POx CO Shift Solutions Syngas Management AL H2 PSA 8 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health

9 Calamco NH 3 Project ( 5 in 1 ) Project Developer Grannus LLC / Example of ultra low emission POXSYN TM solution CO 2 Export (Option) Air Liquide 250 stpd Ammonia California, USA 9 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health

10 Air Liquide Standard Plant ASU Air Liquide has built more than 4000 Air Separation Units Standards Plants are highly prefabricated and easy to erect Possibility to co-produce N 2, O 2, Ar, creating more value together ASU in a POXSYN TM concept: Maximizing ASU standard plant capacity as anchor point for syngas capacity 10 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health

11 Air Liquide Lurgi Gas POx technology Presented at GSTC in 2014 Lurgi MPG Multi-Purpose-Gasifier o acquisition of SVZ Techno. Since Comm. reference in Brazil o Execution of Residue POx plant Canada > 30 POx units built o Shell license until 97 o 76 reactors for Oil-Residue POx 11 Presented at GSTC in bar HP POX Freiberg o OilPOx... o GasPOx... o ATR... Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health Lurgi ATR technology o > 30 ATRs built o Main application large syngas plants for methanol and GTL o media cooled burner o > 4 years burner lifetime o Max. reliability

12 Air Liquide Lurgi Gas POx technology media cooled burner design enables 3+ year burner lifetime Eliminating downtimes for burner replacement eliminates the requirement for n+1 reactor installations: True single Gas POx train up to capacity limit of Reactor + WHB arrangement Gas POx design backed-up by HP POX demonstration plant results (Freiberg, Germany) Gas POx technology validated by AL Technical Committees for AL Group Projects - reliability requirements for long term OTF projects confirmed 12 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health

13 Recent Reference (Germany) 2,2000 mtpd Ammonia + Urea plant based on Oil Gasification Process Built by Lurgi (now Air Liquide) in the 70 s 4 Gasification Reactors converted to Gas POx by Air Liquide Burner Performance until today > 20,000 operating hours per burner w/o maintenance 13 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health

14 Air Liquide CO Shift Solutions Air Liquide performs independent evaluation of High, Medium, Low Temperature and SO-Shift Optimization of steam and heat integration on project specific basis CO Shift in a POXSYNTM concept: HT + LT Shift arrangement selected for maximizing CO conversion Catalyst selection for minimizing by-products e.g. Methanol 14 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health

15 Air Liquide Syngas Managment CO2 removal unit design based on highly efficient BASF OASE white solution CAPEX versus OPEX optimization for project specify economics CO2 removal in POXSYNTM concept: Design optimization to reduce criteria pollutant in CO2 vent stream 15 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health

16 Air Liquide Hydrogen PSA More than 70 PSA units built designed and build by AL since 1968 Highly Efficient Adsorbents tested by AL R&D PSA in a POXSYNTM concept: PSA tail gas recycle leads to high level of Ar, CH4, N2 at PSA inlet With an advanced adsorbent selection for inert components and inhouse process optimization across all process units, a plant design for high purity hydrogen production allowing an inert free Ammonia Synthesis loop is achieved. 16 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health

17 POXSYNTM Benefits Value Creation: Syngas capacity based around Air Liquide s Standard ASU Emission Reduction: Gas POx plus elimination of fired heater Efficiency ncrease: PSA Tail Gas recycle to minimize H2 losses CO2 Management: Location dependent CO2 offtake possible Benchmark Example: Regional Scale Ammonia Plant SMR versus POXSYNTM based ammonia production: CO2 direct emissions: reduced by ~95 % (1) NOX direct emissions: reduced by ~98 % Energy Consumption: reduced by ~4 % (1) CO2 product utilization concept 17 Air Liquide, the world leader in gases, technologies and services for ndustry and Health
