Air Liquide in Russia
Air Liquide and Severstal
Air Liquide Severstal, created in 2005, is a joint venture in which
Air Liquide holds 75% and Severstal 25%. The air separation
complex of the enterprise includes two ASUS for meeting the
oxygen requirements of the Cherepovets Metallurgical Plant
(CherMK) of PAO Severstal (Russia, the Vologda region).
The first ASU (3,000 tonnes of oxygen per day, the largest in
world metallurgy) was successfully commissioned in July 2007.
In 2010, Air Liquide and Severstal announced the expansion of
technical gas production capacities for CherMK: the new air
separation unit with capacity of 2,000 tonnes of oxygen per day
was designed by Air Liquide using advanced technologies.
In 2019, the companies signed a new long-term contract
involving construction of the third ASU at the Severstal CherMK
site.
7 000 tonnes
of oxygen per day will
be produced by the air
separation complex by
