Air Products has brought on-stream a new air separation plant in Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province, Eastern China to supply gaseous oxygen to the Jushi Group, a manufacturer of fibreglass.
The plant will also produce 300 tons per day of liquid products to supply the local market, further expanding Air Products’ capacity to meet the growing liquid demand in Eastern China.
Jushi, located in the Tongxiang Economic Development Zone, has built the world’s largest fiberglass furnace, and Air Products’ oxygen will be used in the glass melting process to have both an environmentally friendly and high-energy efficient production.
