Union Engineering is set to deliver and install two CO2 recovery plants in South East Asia, a region experiencing rapid economic growth and rising demand for carbon dioxide as a result.
In Singapore, Leeden National Oxygen Ltd. has ordered another CO2 plant from Union, a recovery plant capable of processing 31,000 tonnes of feed gas per year from the adjacent Neste Oil-operated refinery.
The CO2 gas will be purified and liquefied to meet the highest standards and will also improve the refinery’s resource efficiency, as a CO2-rich side stream now becomes a valuable raw material for Leeden National Oxygen Ltd.
With this new project, Leeden National Oxygen Ltd. will improve its position as one of the most important suppliers of CO2 in the region. Gary Choo, Executive Director of Leeden National Oxygen, is looking forward to the increased amount of purified CO2 and explained, “Purification of CO2 from the refinery offers the advantage of a decrease in carbon footprint, as the CO2 is not just vented to the atmosphere, and at the same time improves our position as an important supplier of carbon dioxide in the market.”
