Messer recently announced the construction of a new ASU for gases at its Spanish location in Vila-seca.

It will be located in the south of the Tarragona Chemical Complex and will have a capacity of 2,400 tons of oxygen, nitrogen and argon per day. The ASU will also be certified for the production of medical gases.

The plant will be connected to the Messer pipeline network to meet the growing oxygen and nitrogen demand of the chemical industry in Tarragona. In addition, manufacturing companies in the region will be supplied with gases/liquefied in tankers and gaseous in cylinders.

In total, Messer will invest more than 35 million euros in this project. Messer is thus expanding its activities in Spain and laying the foundation for further growth in Western Europe.
