Vietnam’s largest industrial gas plant put into operation

The largest ever industrial gas plant in Vietnam was put into operation at the Hoa Phat Steel Complex in the northern province of Hai Duong by the Messer Hai Phong Industrial Gas Company Ltd on October 6.

With an investment of US$20 million, the plan is capable of producing 300 tonnes of oxygen and 510 tonnes of nitrogen per day.

Apart from serving the Hoa Phat Steel Complex, the plant will supply these products to the industrial gas markets in the northern and central regions.

The Germany-based Messer Group has operated for over 13 years in Vietnam with two companies – Messer Hai Phong Industrial Gas Company Ltd and Messer Vietnam Industrial Gas Company Ltd. It is leading in gas supply and related engineering service in the Southeast Asian country.

In addition to the plant, Messer Group invested in building filling stations in the southern provinces of Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Binh Duong and the northern city of Hai Phong. It is expected to pour over US$50 million into industrial gas production projects in Vietnam in the coming years.
