French company makes gas for south

The French based industrial gas manufacturer Air Liquide Vietnam has recently opened two new air separation units (ASU) in the south.

The first ASU, based in HCM City’s Sai Gon High Tech Park, will supply gaseous nitrogen to one of the world’s leaders in the semi-conductor industry. The unit will be able to product 100 tonnes of liquid oxygen, nitrogen and argon per day.

The second ASU, located in the southern coastal province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau’s Phu My Industrial Park, supplies gases and hydrogen by pipeline to steel making customers. This ASU has a production capacity of 190 tonnes a day.

Total investment for these ASUs is around 30 million EUR (46.65 million USD).

In addition, the company is building another facility in the northern province of Ninh Binh with a total capacity of 1,200 tonnes a day and plans to open by 2012.

Air Liquide is one of the biggest global companies that produce gases for industry, health and the environment and is present in more than 75 countries with 43,000 employees.
