Bonatti to lead pipeline EPC work for Pacifico Mexinol project
Transition Industries, LLC has signed a Heads of Agreement contract with Bonatti, an international contractor specializing in the energy sector, for critical infrastructure on the Pacifico Mexinol project in Sinaloa, Mexico.
Pacifico Mexinol is poised to be the world’s largest standalone ultra-low carbon chemical production facility in the world, with an output of 6,130 metric tons of methanol per day.
Under terms of the agreement, Bonatti will perform detailed engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, and startup for the methanol transfer and vapor recovery underground pipelines and dual fiber optic cables between the Methanol main process plant and the Mexinol port site.
The agreement also provides Bonatti with the opportunity to build the project’s closed-loop water pipeline system from the JAPAMA oxidation pools to the site, making the Pacifico Mexinol site one of the world's largest applications of industrial water reuse from municipal effluent. This system treats and recycles municipal wastewater for all project needs in order to avoid tapping into freshwater sources or negatively impacting the Bay of Ohuira, thereby reducing the project’s environmental impact.
“We are proud to have Bonatti, a world-leader in pipeline EPCs, as part of our execution team. Their international expertise coupled with their local field experience and knowledge operating in Ahome Municipality, Sinaloa, is good for the project and the local communities near where we operate. Bonatti shares our unwavering commitment to environmental and social sustainability.”
“We are thrilled to be part of this flagship project, which marks an important step toward decarbonization," said Gustavo Blejer, Bonatti’s Commercial Director for the Americas. "This is a great opportunity to combine Bonatti’s global expertise with our strong local experience, and to contribute meaningfully to the development of Ahome, Sinaloa, and Mexico.”
Transition Industries is jointly developing Pacifico Mexinol with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. When it initiates operations in 2029, Pacifico Mexinol is expected to be the largest single ultra-low carbon methanol facility in the world – producing approximately 350,000 MT of green methanol and 1.8 million MT of blue methanol annually from natural gas with carbon capture.
