Avina Clean Hydrogen (Avina) has successfully completed the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and Front-End-Loading (FEL-3) for its 2,200 metric tons per day (MTPD) clean ammonia facility located in Texas Gulf Coast.
With a Final Investment Decision (FID) targeted in 2025, this is a major milestone for the industry as it represents the first announced completion of FEED for a large-scale clean ammonia facility in the United States.
KBR had previously provided the Basic Engineering Design (BED) package for the plant. KBR continued to support design activities, ensuring an advanced and efficient design tailored to meet stringent environmental and operational standards.
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) led the overall FEED effort, bringing its engineering, procurement and modularization capabilities to support the project’s design and estimation.
EXCEL, a leading construction contractor in the ammonia sector, led the constructability effort in FEED, leveraging their recent experience in executing similar world- class ammonia plants in the Texas Gulf Coast region. FEED scope included engineering design of ammonia synthesis loop, hydrogen and ammonia storage, electrolytic hydrogen production, renewable power integration and engineering design of OSBL facilities.
The Gulf Coast Clean Ammonia facility is designed to meet the surging global demand for clean fuels.
Scheduled to commence operations in 2028, it will produce up to 800,000 metric tons per annum (MTPA) of clean ammonia by utilising a blend of blue and electrolytic hydrogen.
The facility will comply with Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) standards, aligning with European Union guidelines. Additionally, facility will benefit from existing natural gas and carbon sequestration infrastructure in the Texas Gulf Coast.
