Project summary

Audubon provided the owner’s engineering  for a ZeoGas methanol plant in East Texas. The 1.8-MTPA methanol production plant utilized licensed MegaMethanol technology from Air Liquide.

As the owner’s engineer, Audubon administered interface and integration guidance to ensure adherence to project specifications by the engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) providers, technology licensors, and equipment suppliers. Audubon also provided project management, lead engineering, documentation, and
technical review guidance of the facility design, including process- and engineering-related disciplines.

From planning and development through commercial operation, Audubon owner’s engineering and project management services enabled ZeoGas to begin processing clean methane sources in its efforts toward sustainability and reduced environmental impact.
