Work is progressing on a new Air Separation Unit in Christchurch - at our Sockburn site, which is already a key hub for production, storage and logistics in New Zealand.
After approximately 15,000 engineering hours, the completed ASU will deliver up to 30 tons of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen combined per day. Building on the site's strong foundation the plant will increase its support to essential industries across the country and the Pacific Islands from healthcare and food production to manufacturing and emerging high-tech and aerospace sectors.
This impact goes beyond supply. By localizing production, we’ll also eliminate up to 1,000 inter-island tanker movements annually — reducing emissions and strengthening supply resilience.
A big congratulations to Linde Engineering and BOC South Pacific (a Linde Company) on this impactful partnership.
