en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hazer Group Ltd. (Perth, Australia) and KBR, Inc. (Houston, USA) have jointly completed a comprehensive Process Design Package (PDP) for the Hazer® Process, marking a critical step towards the commercialization of methane pyrolysis for hydrogen production. This design package aims to standardize large-scale plant design to accelerate customer adoption and licensing processes.
Glenn Corrie, CEO of Hazer, stated: "The completion of the PDP is a significant milestone in our market strategy. It provides a clear and economically viable pathway, enabling industrial customers to readily adopt this standardized design. In collaboration with KBR, we believe Hazer offers a scalable and cost-effective solution in the field of methane pyrolysis for hydrogen production."
Jay Ibrahim, President of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions, said: "This achievement reflects the continued progress of our collaboration with Hazer on methane pyrolysis technology. The completion of the comprehensive Process Design Package demonstrates our commitment to advancing technology commercialization. KBR can further customize the process to meet customer needs."
The PDP includes a fully integrated process design, selection of major equipment, and design philosophies compliant with global standards, validating the feasibility of commercial-scale plants. It establishes a consistent engineering baseline to support deployment across various applications and geographical regions, indicating that the Hazer® Process has reached a high level of technical maturity.
Based on this standardized framework, Hazer and KBR can now more efficiently develop customized PDPs as part of the technical packages required by customers for feasibility studies, basic engineering design, and front-end engineering. This reduces the risk of significant changes to the process and associated costs during custom plant development.
The PDP design is based on a plant with an annual hydrogen production capacity of 30,000 tonnes, confirming large-scale industrial capability. It also supports scaling to single-line plants producing 10,000 to 50,000 tonnes per year or multi-line projects exceeding 100,000 tonnes. This work combines Hazer's proprietary technology with KBR's global engineering experience, positioning the Hazer Process as a reliable and scalable solution for customers evaluating low-emission hydrogen pathways. The design package, jointly developed over nearly 12 months by the alliance partners, will support subsequent engineering and project activities.
