en.Wedoany.com Reported - OXEA and Air Liquide recently announced the renewal of their long-term partnership by signing a new contract for the supply of syngas and hydrogen at the Ruhrchemie plant in OXEA's Oberhausen industrial park in Germany. For OXEA, the renewed contract enhances supply reliability to global customers and supports its strategy to strengthen its portfolio of oxo intermediates.

This plant is Air Liquide's largest production site in Germany. Air Liquide will invest over 20 million euros to modernize its existing partial oxidation (POX) unit, ensuring long-term operational reliability. This investment aims to improve the robustness and long-term stability of syngas and hydrogen supply. The large-scale POX unit, with an annual capacity of 340,000 tons of syngas and hydrogen, provides the operational foundation for OXEA to optimize core intermediate production and supports the expansion of high-value-added downstream applications in key markets such as coatings.

Through this collaboration, OXEA reaffirms its commitment to delivering consistent quality, reliable supply, and innovative solutions to customers. The contract renewal also provides the operational stability needed to advance new projects at the plant. For example, since 2021, Air Liquide has reduced its CO2 emissions by 50% by connecting a carbon capture and liquefaction unit to the POX unit. The captured CO2 is reused in the food and beverage industry, reflecting the sustainable circular economy principles shared by both parties.

Since the late 1960s, Air Liquide has been a key partner for OXEA at the Ruhrchemie plant in the Oberhausen industrial park, supplying oxygen, nitrogen, and argon.
