Technical Gases/Industrial Gases

The gases group Linde has signed a long-term contract with the Hungarian chemical company Borsod Chem to supply nitrogen, oxygen and compressed air to the chemical complex in Kazincbarcika.

In order to extract hydrogen from natural gas networks, Linde and Evonik offer a joint technology solution. The fully integrated, holistic solution combines different technologies for gas separation.

Under the terms of the contract, Linde will start up a new air separation unit along with three nitrogen generators to supply industrial gases to the Taiwanese electronics customer. On completion, the plants are expected to have a total combined gas capacity of over 173,000 Nm3/hr.

Under the terms of the MOU, Linde and Cnooc will jointly explore the possibility of investing in hydrogen production and filling units as well as increasing the use of hydrogen in industrial applications.

Under a MOU signed between Linde and a subsidiary of China Power International Development, both the companies will work together to carry out numerous green hydrogen initiatives including research and development of hydrogen technology.

Under a long term agreement, Linde will supply oxygen, nitrogen and carbon monoxide from its hydrogen and carbon monoxide unit as well as a new air separation plant to Celanese. The plants will also supply hydrogen to Linde’s other customers via its U.S. Gulf Coast pipeline.

Under long-term agreements, Linde’s new plant is expected to supply carbon monoxide and hydrogen to a leading chemical company along with other refining and chemical customers in Southern Louisiana, USA.

Linde has leveraged its technology in order to sign a new long-term contract with India’s largest refiner, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL). Under the agreement, Praxair India, a subsidiary of Linde, will construct an air separation unit on BOO basis and supply oxygen and nitrogen to IOCL’s Paradip refinery in Orissa.

The start-up completes the first phase of the Pyeongtaek project in which industrial gases will be supplied to Samsung Electronics' semiconductor facilities in South Korea. The project is Linde's largest single electronics investment on BOO basis.

The new air separation unit has been initiated due to a long term agreement signed between Linde and Meglobal. Under the deal, Linde will supply oxygen and nitrogen for Meglobal’s EG manufacturing process at its Oyster Creek unit.

Linde has secured an engineering, procurement and site services agreement for Sibur’s cracker plant located at the Amur Gas Chemical Complex in Russia. The services will be offered in collaboration with Nipigas.

The new plant is expected to double the production capacity of merchant atmospheric gases at Linde’s existing site in Florida. Apart from the aerospace industry, the facility is also expected to meet the growing demand from other industries.

Linde has started up a new air separation facility in Shanghai through which the company will supply nitrogen, oxygen and argon to Shanghai Huali Microelectronics Corporation’s wafer product line in the region.

Linde has signed a MOU with Baowu Clean Energy under which both the firms will aim to increase the accessibility of hydrogen to industries and improve the acceptance levels of hydrogen mobility solutions across China.

The two facilities are located at the Eastern China Chemical Park and are expected to supply oxygen and nitrogen to Taixing Jinyan. With a combined production capacity of 29000 Nm3/h, the units will also supply gases to other customers situated in the Taixing Economic Development Zone.

Linde has acquired a minority stake in ITM Power, a British manufacturer of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzers for the electro-chemical splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen.
