Air Liquide: a major new contract in China
Air Liquide has just signed a long-term contract with Tongmei Guangfa Chemical Industry Co., Limited
China’s economy is very dynamic and Air Liquide is developing its activities in the country at a quick pace serving numerous customers as illustrated by the many major contracts it has signed this year, in the steel and photovoltaic sectors amongst others.
Air Liquide has just signed a long-term contract with Tongmei Guangfa Chemical Industry Co., Limited, whose major shareholder is Datong Coal Mine Group Company.
Under the terms of the agreement, Air Liquide will invest around €60 million in a large Air Separation Unit (ASU) with production capacity of 2,000 tonnes of oxygen per day to supply oxygen and nitrogen to the customer’s methanol production project in Datong, Shanxi province. Industrial production is scheduled to begin in July 2012. During phase 1 of the project, 600,000 tonnes of methanol will be produced per year.
This new contract illustrates Air Liquide’s significant expansion in China. By the end of June 2010, Air Liquide had commissioned in China new oxygen capacities of more than 12,000 tonnes per day in just one year, with 8 new ASUs based in Zhanjiagang (Jiangsu), Cangzhou (Hebei), Tianjin and Dongying (Shandong).
