(The Linde Group) -- The
technology company The Linde Group has been commissioned to build and operate
two large air separation plants to supply gases on site to the Chinese company
Yantai Wanhua in Shandong (East China). The contract for the project, which will
involve investment of around EUR 130 m, was signed on 26 July 2011.
The two plants, which are to be built by Linde’s Engineering Division,
each have a capacity of 55,000 normal cubic metres of oxygen per hour. They are
expected to come on stream between end 2013 and at the start of 2014, when they
will supply oxygen and nitrogen to Yantai Wanhua’s production plants. In
addition, Linde will produce liquefied products for the open market in the
Shandong region. The project includes the construction of a 20-kilometre
pipeline in the Yantai Economic and Technology Park.
Yantai Wanhua is the only Chinese company which has the technical
know-how to produce MDI. MDI is an intermediate product in the manufacture of
polyurethane, which is used in large quantities for example in the construction
and automobile industries. China is in the process of becoming one of the
principal markets for MDI. The Shandong province in the east of China is the
third largest province in China in terms of gross domestic product.
