New Linde Gas Plant Comes On Line at Evonik Complex

Industrial gasses supplier Linde recently started up its new gas production plant at the Evonik Industries methionine complex on Jurong Island in Singapore, the company announced in an August 1 press release. The facility will supply methane, hydrogen and carbon dioxide to the existing plant. 

“Over the last several years, the strategic partnership between Linde and Evonik has continued to strengthen given our long-standing reliability and focus on productivity and sustainability,” Sanjiv Lamba, executive vice president and chief executive officer of Linde Asia-Pacific, said in a statement. “We are proud that Evonik chose to recognize Linde’s superior technology offerings and operational capabilities by extending our existing relationship in line with their own growth.”

The Evonik complex in Singapore focuses on manufacturing DL-methionine, an amino acid used as an additive in livestock, poultry, and swine feed. 

“The completion and startup of Linde’s second integrated facility with Evonik in Singapore is yet another milestone in our long-term, successful collaboration,” said Evonik Asia South Pacific President Peter Meinhausen in the release. “Linde already has a strong track record of delivering a reliable supply to our existing complex in Singapore, and several other facilities around the world. This, combined with Linde’s technology and engineering capabilities, gives us great confidence in expanding our strategic partnership and we look forward to continuing this for years to come.”

Evonik opened the methionine complex on Jurong Island in 2014.
