New air separating unit for ArcelorMittal Gent, Belgium
Aug 25, 2010
ArcelorMittal Belgium N.V. -originally named Sidmar-, signed a long term contract
for the supply of it's Ghent steel plant -originally named Sidmar-, with oxygen, nitrogen and argon.
As part of the agreement, Air Products will build, own, operate and maintain a third on-site air separation unit (ASU) at the Gent site to supply ArcelorMittal with its industrial gases requirements.
Marc Vereecke, CEO at ArcelorMittal Gent said: “This investment is based on the
need of industrial gasses first of all to replace the capacity of ASU1, which will be closed in Terneuzen and gives ArcelorMittal Gent increased flexibility (volume, focussing on iron ore or scrap route) and the possibilty to grow. The two existing Air Products air separation units at the Gent site will continue supplying ArcelorMittal with their current oxygen, nitrogen and argon requirements at their existing operations.”
Scheduled to come on-stream in 2012 the ASU will have a total production capacity in excess of 2000 tonnes per day (TPD), bringing extra liquefied industrial gases capacity for supply to the European market.
