The order was placed by Hydro-Chem a leading global supplier of industrial hydrogen plants and a division of Linde BC Process Plants LLC. Jonathan Wilkinson President and CE of QuestAir said that the H-3200 pressure swing adsorption (“PSA”) system will be included in a new hydrogen plant that Hydro-Chem is supplying to Montana Refining Company. Product hydrogen from the plant will be used to increase oil refining capacity at the refinery site. “Demand for hydrogen in the oil refining industry continues to be strong driven by capacity expansions such as this project at Montana Refining as well as regulations mandating low-sulphur transportation fuels. “This will be QuestAir’s largest capacity single skid hydrogen PSA. We have had great commercial success with the H-3200 product platform since its launch in 2003 and we now have an installed base of more than 40 smaller-capacity H-3200 PSA’s around the world. “We have now expanded the capacity of the H-3200 design offering the benefits of the H-3200′s advanced 9 bed PSA cycle and compact skid-mounted design to manufacturers of hydrogen plants with capacities up to 15000 cubic meters per hour” Wilkinson said… QuestAir is based in Burnaby British Columbia and its shares trade on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange Plc. and on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “QAR”.

$80 a year more for water

Analysis of the increased costs associated with desalination by a local water management expert has found water bills will rise by at least $20 a quarter for households which consume 200 kilolitres. This could double to $160 a year for high water users consuming 400 kilolitres a year. Dr Chris Colby of the University of Adelaide school of chemical engineering said because the proposed plant would only provide 25 per cent of Adelaide’s water supply most water would still be sourced from cheaper supply options such as reservoirs. This would limit the price impact for households he said. "No one really knows how much it’s going to cost and it’s very difficult because it depends on where it is built and what its configuration is" he said. "The advantage of a plant on LeFevre Peninsula for example is that it could source cheap power but the disadvantage is that it is not close to the main delivery pipes of the metropolitan water system and they would have to be built. "There would be a new pricing structure so that those who can least afford it are not penalised but the average price to produce the water would be about $2.
