Linde has won an air gas supply contract with the chemicals producer, Dahua Group.
In accordance with this latest agreement, the global industrial gas company will invest around €70m in the project, located on Songmu Island in Dalian, Northeast China.
Sanjiv Lamba, Member of the Executive Board of Linde AG responsible for Asia expressed his delight at the move. He added, “We are delighted to further expand our long term business relationship with our partner Dahua in Dalian. This move strengthens our position as a leading gases and engineering company in the dynamic Chinese market.”
Under the terms of this on-site agreement, Linde acquires the customer’s two existing air separation units (ASUs) in Dalian, and will operate these. In addition, Linde’s Engineering Division will build a new ASU on site with a production capacity of 38,000 normal cubic metres of oxygen per hour (Nm3/h). Scheduled to go on stream in 2014, the new ASU will replace the two older plants, also meeting rising demand for gaseous oxygen at Dahua’s operations.
