Adnoc signs deal with Linde on new Industrial Gases Complex

Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) said on Thursday it has signed a memorandum of understanding with The Linde Group to explore the expansion of nitrogen facilities in Ruwais industrial complex to meet future demand for industrial gases. As a first step under the agreement, Linde will carry out a front-end engineering and design study for new Air Separation Units, which are intended to satisfy the expanding nitrogen requirements of Adnoc’s gas processing, petrochemicals and refining businesses, the company stated.

Adnoc Industrial Gases is a joint venture between Adnoc (51 per cent) and Linde (49 per cent). It was established in 2007 under the name “Elixier”.
