Start of Nitrogen Plant Construction Project of Air Liquide in Nanzi Export Processing Zone

       In view of the recent expansion of semiconductor industry in Nanzi Industrial Zone and more business opportunities of high purity industrial gas in the future, Air Liquide Far Eastern Ltd.(ALFE), co-founded by FENC and the world’s top gas producer Air Liquide invested in the construction of gas production control equipment center, and held a commencement ceremony on August 17.

        With the increasing customer demands in Nanzi Industrial Zone, it is necessary to build a plant to increase the nitrogen production and reserve liquid nitrogen storage capacity. ALFE invested nearly 30 million US dollars to demolish the public warehouse and a parking lot with low utilization rate in the processing export zone and is going to build a new five story high factory building with one underground floor, and a new carpark with license plate identification system will be built by ALFE to give back to the Processing Zone Office.

        The new plant has low carbon and low energy consumption design. After completion, it will not only generate environmental benefits, but also increase the gas supply of the park by nearly 50%. The existing equipment will be transferred to the new plant, and the original old plant will be returned to the Zone Processing Office for future plant construction or turnover. It will help the Zone Processing Office to gradually upgrade the plant equipment in the industrial zone, and become the best model of public-private partnership.
