Chemicals
Chemical companies throughout the world, especially in the Middle East, are continuously coping with cost pressures that stem from demand volatility, competition, and price fluctuations of chemical commodities.
Our industrial gases – such as oxygen, hydrogen and carbon monoxide – are essential molecules, required as reaction agents for various process steps in the chemical and petrochemical production chain. Nitrogen, used for inerting, purging, cooling, and other specific applications, is also a key component of our offer. Additionally, we can deliver steam and power for utilities, speciality gases for research centres, process control and quality control.
