This proves on the ground capabilities of Airgases to successfully execute such large projects.
Yet another momentous occasion in the history of the company when we have successfully commissioned large VPSA oxygen plant of 146 tpd capacity at Guru Gobind sigh Refinery of HMEL at Bathinda. A large team from Airgases Projects worked round the clock with team from Sumitomo Japan and Kwangshin Korea to successfully commission the plant. Soon thereafter plant performance test was conducted for continuous 72 hours and plant was found to perform better than guarantees on all parameters including production, purity and power consumption.
It is worth noting that on this date this is largest VPSA plant operating at any refinery in India and first one used for sulphur recovery unit of a refinery. Kudos to TEAM AIRGASES for this fantastic achievement.
Yet another big moment in history of the company !!! Today we received an order from large Chemical Conglomerate from Taiwan M/s CHI MEI Corporation of Taiwan to undertake plant health assessment study of a cryogenic nitrogen generator supplied to them by Costain some 20 years ago. This will be followed up by our recommendations to relife and upgrade the plant. We expect to be awarded that contract too. AIRGASES TEAM has indeed now taken wings to fly.
