Heurtey Petrochem selected for Pacífico Mexinol project

The Pacífico Mexinol project, developed by Transition Industries, is expected to produce approximately 6130 tpd of methanol and once operational in 2030, is expected to become one of the largest ultra-low-carbon chemical production facilities in the world. The project is designed to combine advanced technology, carbon capture, responsible water management, and innovative low-carbon production pathways to support the growing demand for sustainable methanol.

As part of this landmark project, Heurtey Petrochem Solutions will provide its Electrical Tubular Furnace, also known as efurnace, whose design is based on the company’s proprietary technology. This advanced solution supports Transition Industries’ commitment to developing world-scale, net-zero emissions methanol projects and Pacífico Mexinol’s ultra-low-carbon production objectives. By replacing traditional fired heating with electrical resistance-based heat generation, the efurnace supports safe, reliable, and efficient operation in demanding industrial conditions.

The selection of Heurtey Petrochem Solutions reflects its proven experience and references in the design and supply of large-duty efurnace equipment. With several decades of development and operating experience in electrical heating solutions, the company provides robust and proven efurnace equipment capable of addressing demanding process requirements for industrial applications.

"We are honoured to contribute to the Pacífico Mexinol project, a major development that reflects the industry's transition toward lower-carbon chemical production. This selection demonstrates the relevance of our electrical tubular furnace for large-scale industrial applications and reinforces our commitment to supporting customers with practical, reliable, and innovative solutions for a more sustainable future," said Tina Craft CEO Axens Americas / Heurtey Petrochem Solutions.

"We are pleased to partner with Heurtey Petrochem Solutions on the efurnace scope, a collaboration that supports our strategic objective of aligning with experienced technology providers to develop the world's leading ultra low carbon methanol facility. The integration of advanced electrical furnace technology will materially eliminate emissions - a key component to achieving Net Zero - while enhancing operational reliability and flexibility," added Diego Martinez Valente COO Transition Industrie.

This award marks a significant milestone for Heurtey Petrochem Solutions, strengthening market confidence in its efurnace solution and the company’s capability to deliver high-performance electrical heating equipment for industrial projects.
