Messer to produce argon from ammonia synthesis process with new plant

0

Family-owned industrial gas company Messer has expanded its operations following the commission of an argon production plant based on unused residual gases from the ammonia synthesis process at a site operated by leading Slovakian chemical company, Duslo.

Stating that the project is allowing Messer to demonstrate its technical competence when it comes to delivering innovative solutions, Michal Pa’la, Managing Director, Messer Slovakia, added, “The fact that we are now producing high-quality argon on site in Slovakia also increases the security of supply for our customer.”
