LINDEN, NJ AND HOUSTON – July 27, 2021 – Linden Cogeneration (Linden Cogen) and Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) have reached an agreement for Linden Cogen to take Bayway Refinery produced hydrogen-containing fuel gas, and blend it with natural gas used to fuel the 172MW F-class Linden Cogen unit 6 gas turbine. This project will improve overall refinery and Linden Cogen operational efficiency and will reduce air emissions primarily through improved furnace and flare efficiencies.
“We will be making the modifications to the unit 6 gas turbine, including PSM’s FlameSheet TM system, that will enable using a refinery produced fuel gas and up to 40% hydrogen in 2022,” said Todd Kerschbaum, Chief Technical Officer for JERA Americas, the asset management company for Linden Cogen. “While the actual reductions will be based on how much hydrogen is used at any given time of plant operation, we anticipate a reduction in CO2 emissions up to approximately 10% of annual CO2 emissions in unit 6.”
“Both Bayway Refinery and Linden Cogen are part of the Bayway Industrial Complex where company operations are interdependent,” said Chris Gallo, Bayway General Manager. “The Phillips 66 Bayway Refinery is very pleased to be part of this investment that improves energy efficiency and reduces carbon intensity. This is an example of how a collaborative project can simultaneously result in improved operations and emission reductions.”
