Linde North America's Maine plant receives Responsible Care Certification
04 Nov 2008 -
Linde North America has received certification of its Kittery, Maine, air separation plant under the American Chemistry Council’s Responsible Care® program. Linde North America is a member of The Linde Group. The ACC is an association of producers, manufacturers and suppliers of chemical products.
Earlier this year, Linde’s corporate headquarters in Murray Hill, N.J., received certification under the Responsible Care program. The Kittery plant is the first of eight additional locations on track to be certified before the end of the year.
The Kittery plant, in operation since 1984, separates air cryogenically to produce over 400 tons a day of liquid oxygen, nitrogen and argon. These products are trucked to hospitals, food processors, biopharmaceutical manufacturers and wastewater treatment facilities throughout New England, as well as Quebec and New Brunswick, Canada. The plant employs 30 people.
"While it is very challenging to meet all the criteria for Responsible Care certification, this certification falls right in line with our goals as a high performance organization and our vision to be the leading gases and engineering company,” said Charlie Koehler, vice president of safety, health, environment and quality for Linde North America. "We are committed to sustaining the practices specified in the Responsible Care management system and are very proud of our continued membership in the American Chemistry Council.”
