Large Industries  [ Return towards  Our Business  ]

Taking the long view

Air Liquide’s Large Industries World Business Line (WBL) provides gases to customers in the refining, chemicals, energy and metallurgical industries. These gases are vital to the production processes of customers in such industries. The Group’s gas and energy solutions enable businesses to reconcile optimal productivity with respect for the environment. Here, we take a close look at a sector in which Air Liquide is the undisputed world leader.

The Large Industries WBL is representative both of Air Liquide’s historic expertise and of the technologies of the future. The WBL has established its presence around the world through its design and installation of more than 400 air separation units (ASUs), some 100 hydrogen production plants (of which 38 are major units) and 18 cogeneration units.

This presence is strengthened by the Group’s vast pipeline network, which allows Air Liquide to meet the air gas and hydrogen requirements of major customers in some of the world’s largest industrial basins, in the United States, Europe and Asia.
