The high-purity electronic gas project invested 130 million yuan in by Chongqing Messer Company has entered the environmental impact assessment stage. The project is located in the Changshou Economic and Technological Development Zone in Chongqing, covering an area of about 53 mu, where a modern gas repackaging production facility will be built. Annual packaging capacity of the facility: 700,000 bottles of various high-purity gases. Main products include electronic-grade gases, medical gases, food-grade gases, mixed gases, and helium. Supporting facilities include liquid gas storage areas, cryopumps, vaporizers, and equipment for handling gas cylinders. The project involves the construction of two factories, one in the north and one in the south. The southern factory is equipped with one air separation unit each with a capacity of 10,000 Nm³/h and 20,000 Nm³/h, along with liquefaction units with capacities of 300 TPD and 520 TPD respectively. The northern factory will have a large-scale air separation unit with a capacity of 44,000 Nm³/h and a liquefaction capacity of 800 TPD. The products produced include various industrial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon, as well as rare gases like crude neon and helium. The total investment in this project is 130 million yuan, of which 4.65 million yuan is allocated to environmental protection measures, accounting for about 3.6%, reflecting the company’s commitment to environmental protection. Upon completion, this project will supply high-quality gas products to industries such as semiconductors, healthcare, and food in Chongqing and its surrounding areas, further improving the local industrial gas supply chain and contributing to the upgrading of regional industries.
