Over the course of December and January, Air Liquide completed the commercial start-up of 8 large-scale units around the world, concretising a string of commercial successes in growth markets.
In particular, Air Liquide has started up four large-scale Air Separation Units (ASUs) in China. These units will supply customers in the fields of energy and chemicals under the terms of long-term contracts and are located in the provinces of Shanxi, Guangdong, Shaanxi and Jiangsu, where Air Liquide has also started up a syngas purification unit.
With the start-up of these four ASUs, whose combined capacity is 10,000 tonnes per day, the group increases its oxygen-producing capacity in China by close to 50%.
In addition to these start-ups in China, four other large-scale units have been commissioned around the world, serving customers in the fields of gas and oil exploration, iron and steel, as well as petrochemicals, in Mexico, South Africa, Taiwan and Canada.
