In 2026, during the 25th National “Safety Production Month”, everyone is encouraged to prioritize safety and be capable of responding to emergencies; efforts should also be made to identify and rectify potential risks and hazards. -------------------------------------------------- On June 12, the official website of Zhejiang Environmental Technology published a notice regarding the air separation project of Linde Gas (Jiaxing) Co., Ltd., which is designed to produce 600,000 tons of oxygen, 440,000 tons of nitrogen, and 25,000 tons of argon annually. Total project investment: The total investment amounts to 455.05 million yuan. Location of the project: Nanhu High-Tech Zone, bordered by Jinglan Environmental Protection to the east, Ziyu Road to the south, BuJiao Road to the west, and open land to the north. Scale and scope of construction (production capacity): The project will involve the construction of an air separation unit, along with the necessary storage systems and liquid tank backup systems, as well as supporting facilities such as an 110KV substation, a circulating water station, and a fire pump room. Meanwhile, during the construction of this project, an existing nitrogen liquefaction unit that is currently in operation at Linde Gas (Jiaxing) Co., Ltd.’s facility will also be relocated to the site of this project. The project is planned to produce 600,000 tons of oxygen per year (including industrial oxygen and medical oxygen), 260,000 tons of nitrogen per year (including high-purity nitrogen and nitrogen used as a food additive), 180,000 tons of liquid nitrogen in total (including high-purity nitrogen and nitrogen used as a food additive), and 25,000 tons of high-purity liquid argon. The overall plan for this project involves construction in phases, as detailed below: Phase 1 of the project: the liquid oxygen storage and pumping vaporization system will be built and put into operation. Before the air separation unit is built and operates stably, it supplies gas to Dongfang Special Steel; after the unit is built and operates stably, it serves as an operating storage tank. Phase 2 of the project: The main air separation process unit, as well as the backup systems and the associated utility services and auxiliary facilities, are completed and put into operation. Furthermore, the large-scale nitrogen liquefaction unit currently in operation at the existing plant area of Linde Gas (Jiaxing) Co., Ltd. will be relocated to the site of this project and integrated with the main air separation process units.
