This project reinforces Air Products’ long-term commitment to Malaysia, expands its production capabilities in Southern and Central Malaysia, and marks its fifth LNG-based ASU in Asia.
A document exchange ceremony was held at the PETRONAS Twin Towers to mark this milestone. The ceremony was attended by senior executives, including PETRONAS Gas Berhad's Managing Director/CEO, Abdul Aziz Othman, DIALOG Executive Deputy Chairman, Chan Yew Kai, and Air Products’ Asia President, Kurt Lefevere, underscoring the strategic importance of the project and the strength of the long-standing partnership between PETRONAS Gas Berhad and Air Products.
The new plant will supply the merchant market in Southern and Central Malaysia, strengthening Air Products’ ability to serve key industrial hubs and support growing demand from the electrical and electronics, petrochemicals, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors.
By using cold energy from the LNG regasification process to liquefy air at low temperatures, the plant will improve energy efficiency and reduce production-related emissions, helping customers reduce their carbon footprint through a more energy-efficient and lower-emission supply of industrial gas solutions.
“Our relationship with PETRONAS Gas Berhad spans more than four decades, and we are honored by their continued trust in Air Products to support their and Malaysia's effort to advance lower-emission industrial development,” said Ramani Velu, Air Products' Southeast Asia President. “This investment underscores our long-term commitment to Malaysia and our focus on delivering safe, reliable, and energy-efficient solutions that support our customers' growth. It also strengthens our ability to serve customers across the country.”
