Linde Thailand Public Company (Linde Thailand), a member of Linde, recently announced that it will invest about Bt 500 million (about EUR 12 million) to install a new merchant carbon dioxide plant in Map Ta Phut, Rayong.
Managing Director of Linde Thailand, Mr Keerin Chutumstid said, "We continue to see rising demand from our customers in the energy, chemical, fabrication and food & beverage sectors, and have therefore decided to invest in a new carbon dioxide production facility to ensure that Linde is well-placed to meet the increasing requirements of our customers and effectively support their growth and export competitiveness."
"Our new carbon dioxide plant, which will have a capacity of 300 tons per day (tpd) once it comes on stream in early 2014, will raise Linde Thailand's total carbon dioxide production capacity to 1,200 tpd, reinforcing our position as a major carbon dioxide production hub for Linde in this region.
Linde invested Bt 3.5 billion to build what will be Thailand's largest liquid air separation plant with production capacity of 800 tpd of liquefied gases once it is ready in 2013,
