Linde and Nynas conclude hydrogen
on-site contract
Modern hydrogen plant to be built
in Hamburg-Harburg
Investments of EUR 30 million
2014-02-07 + + + The technology company The Linde
Group has signed a long-term contract with Nynas AB, one of the world
leaders in the naphthenic specialty oils (NSP) and the bitumen business,
for the on-site supply of hydrogen at Nynas' refinery in Hamburg, Germany.
To this end, the Linde Engineering Division will build a state-of-the-art
steam methane reformer plant with total investments accounting to around
EUR 30 million.
'Nynas and Linde already look back on a long and
successful relationship, especially in Sweden,' said Professor Dr Aldo
Belloni, Member of the Executive Board of Linde AG. 'We are supplying
Nynas with natural gas from our LNG terminal near Stockholm. We are more
than happy to expand our excellent cooperation to Germany now.'
The project is part of a major restructuring of
the Hamburg-Harburg refinery, which over the next two years will be
converted into a specialized NSP production site. By this, Nynas
will increase its overall NSP production capacity by forty per cent. These
specialty oils are used for many different applications, such as tires,
transformers, printing inks, industrial rubber and lubricants.
The
new hydrogen facility is scheduled to go on-stream in the fourth quarter
of 2015 and will be operated by the Linde Gases Division. With a capacity
of 400,000 m³ of hydrogen per day it will be able to also supply other
hydrogen customers in the Hamburg harbour area.
The Linde Group is
a world-leading gases and engineering company with around 63,000 employees
in more than 100 countries worldwide. In the 2012 financial year, Linde
generated revenue of EUR 15.280 bn. The strategy of the Group is geared
towards long-term profitable growth and focuses on the expansion of its
international business with forward-looking products and services. Linde

society and the environment - in every one of its business areas, regions
