Messer and Hoa Phat Steel, the largest steel producer in Vietnam, signed a contract in Hanoi for the construction of two plants for the production of industrial gases.
The contract is to run for a period of 25 years. Messer will supply the air gases oxygen, nitrogen and argon to the steelworks by pipeline.
Total production capacity amounts to 80,000 N§© of oxygen and 160,000 N§© of nitrogen per hour, which corresponds to around five and ten road tanker loads. This makes it the largest facility for the production of industrial gases in Vietnam. Messer is investing a total of over 90 million US dollars.
Both plants are to start operation in the Dung Quat economic zone in southern Central Vietnam in November of 2018. |
