Europe Air Separation Unit Market News

In May 2022, PKN Orlen plans to invest in an air separation unit for oxygen and nitrogen production at the Plock refinery in Poland. The ASU will be built by the German company Linde GmbH. The project investment is estimated to cost PLN 760 million (EUR 164 million) and is expected to be completed by early 2025. The plant's production capacity will be 38,500 cubic meters of oxygen and 75,000 cubic meters of nitrogen per hour.

In February 2021, Air Liquide SA and BASF SE signed a new long-term agreement to supply oxygen and nitrogen to one of BASF's European sites. Air Liquide will invest around USD 48 million in constructing an Air Separation Unit (ASU) located at Schwarzheide, Germany.
