The first ASU is based in the Saigon High Tech Park where Air Liquide has signed a long-term contract with one of the world’s leaders in the semi-conductor industry, and will be supplying gaseous nitrogen to this customer's largest assembly and test unit. This ASU will be able to produce 100 tonnes per day of liquid oxygen, nitrogen and argon for the region’s customers.
