Air Products will supply oxygen, nitrogen and argon to ArcelorMittal Belgium N.V., a subsidiary of ArcelorMittal S.A., at its steel mill in Gent, Belgium.
As part of this agreement, Air Products will build, own, operate and maintain a third on-site air separation unit (ASU) at the Gent site to supply ArcelorMittal. Scheduled to come onstream in 2012, the ASU will have a total production capacity of approximately 2,000 tons per day (TPD), bringing extra liquefied industrial gases capacity for supply to the European market.
