New Contract in the Copper Industry

Air Liquide and KGHM Polska Miedz have signed a long-term agreement to supply gases to the copper production site in Glogów, located in the west of the country, 100 km from Wroclaw.

Air Liquide Global E&C Solutions teams will design and manufacture a new Air Separation Unit with a production capacity of 1,500 tonnes of oxygen per day. KGHM will use this oxygen in its modern copper production process, improving efficiency and reducing atmospheric emissions. The unit will be commissioned early 2015 and incorporate the Group’s latest technologies, which offer highest levels of energy efficiency and reliability.
