Mitsubishi Heavy Industries delivers CO2 product compressor package for ExxonMobil’s Wyoming CCS project
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor International Corp. (MCO-I), a leader in the design and manufacturing of compressors, steam turbines and associated auxiliaries, has announced the successful delivery of a state-of-the-art carbon dioxide (CO2) product compressor package for ExxonMobil’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) expansion project in LaBarge, Wyoming (U.S.).
This project represents a significant milestone in enhancing the facility’s CCS capacity.
The core equipment, manufactured and tested at MHI Compressor Corp. (MCO) in Hiroshima, Japan, was delivered in April 2024.
The packaging work was executed by MCO-I in Pearland, Texas, ensuring a seamless and high-quality integration while enabling the end user to conduct final inspections and familiarize themselves with the package locally
Michael McCurry, account executive, MCO-I, said, “We are honored to collaborate with ExxonMobil on this landmark project. Our longstanding relationship with ExxonMobil in the petrochemical market and our capability to manufacture and test large, vertically split type machines were key factors in our selection.”
McCurry added, “We incorporated unique technologies to facilitate the installation and removal of the large bundle during maintenance periods, ensuring operational efficiency and reliability.”
This project aligns with MHI’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2040 and to pioneering innovative technologies that contribute to a sustainable future.
The project involved personnel from both MCO and MCO-I for manufacturing, testing and installation/commissioning support, ensuring the highest standards of excellence and performance.
