Linde to build on-site facility for Dutch steelworks
"This is the largest on-site facility of its type run by Linde itself," says Dr. Aldo Belloni, member of the Executive Board of Linde AG and responsible for the business segment Gas and Engineering. The project will be overseen by Linde's Dutch subsidiary Hoek Loos B.V. The new air separation unit, which will replace four older Linde facilities, is scheduled for completion in mid-2009.
In addition to providing oxygen, the supply agreement with Corus also includes other air gases such as nitrogen, argon, xenon, krypton, neon, and helium. Some of the rare gases produced in IJmuiden will also supply other Linde customers.
