History of the HPI-The 1990s
Axens
Axens, the most trusted partner supporting
its clients towards a sustainable future
Axens was created in 2001 by merging the Industrial Division of IFP
(now IFP Energies nouvelles)-founded in 1945, it was one of the first
licensors and providers of related services-and Procatalyse (created
in 1959), a major manufacturer of catalysts and absorbents.
This newly born company, fully owned by IFP, enabled the development
of synergies between technologies, products (catalysts and
adsorbents), services, and IFPEN Solaize (Rhône, France) Research
Center with the objective of permanently improving the company's
technologies and products.
In 2017, Axens acquired Heurtey Petrochem, including Prosernat, an
international player in the fields of furnaces, modular equipment and
gas treatment technologies.
After years of conquest and an ever-rising trajectory, and backed
by decades of experience and R&D, Axens has become a major international
industrial group through the quality of its teams and the
excellence and diversity of its offer.
Today, Axens aims to be the most trusted partner to support its clients'
journeys in their transformation in a low carbon economy. Axens
provides a complete range of innovative, sustainable and cost-effective
solutions for the conversion of oil and biomass to cleaner fuels, the
production and purification of major petrochemical intermediates,
the thermal and chemical recycling of plastics, as well as all natural gas
treatment and conversion options. Axens is also active in the field of
Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage. Axens global offer covers not
only technologies but also proprietary equipment, furnaces, modular
units, catalysts, adsorbents and related services marketed under the
brands Axens Solutions, Heurtey Petrochem Solutions and Axens
Horizon. The company is ideally positioned to cover the entire value
chain of its clients, from feasibility study to unit start-up and follow-up
throughout the entire unit life cycle, with solutions enabling an optimized
environmental footprint.
POWERING A COMPLETE OFFER ON A
WIDE RANGE OF MARKETS
Axens is currently active in the following markets: Oil refining, Petrochemicals
and chemicals, Gases including clean Hydrogen, Renewables
fuels and bio-based chemicals, Plastic Recycling, Carbon Capture
Utilization and Storage, and Water treatment.
Already recognized as one of the world's foremost suppliers of
technologies, products, services and equipment, Axens also joins forces
with the most dynamic and innovative actors of the industry, through
acquisitions and strategic partnerships, to help its clients contribute to
global carbon neutrality by the middle of the century.
SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)
IS AT THE HEART OF AXENS' STRATEGY
Achieving Axens' strategic objectives is a fourfold challenge:
technological, industrial, environmental and human. The scarcity of
resources, climate change, population growth and an aspiration for
better quality of life are the environmental and societal issues defining
the paradigm in which Axens has a key role to play while offering:
SPONSORED CONTENT
* Ever more eco-efficient technologies, equipment and
furnaces (conventional and electrical ones).
* Catalysts and adsorbents with a limited environmental
impact from their production, usage, regeneration
and ultimately to their end of life.
The excellence of IFPEN R&D, the inventiveness of Axens and the
support of its innovative partners make the perfect team to tackle
these challenges.
A GENUINE SENSE OF PARTNERSHIP
Across its various businesses, Axens provides tailored solutions,
possibly cloud-based connected, to its clients' needs and responds,
in an agile way, to new requirements, market changes and digital
transformation. Creating a genuine sense of partnership, rather than
a more traditional customer-supplier relationship, is at the heart of
Axens' approach.
Always thriving to push performances one step further, Axens
developed a " One Stop Shop " concept, providing a large spectrum
of associated services, including Licensing, Basic Engineering, Proprietary
Equipment, Catalysts & Gradings, Adsorbents, Revamping
Studies, Audits of industrial sites, Consulting and Digitalization.
