CNCD Awarded Contract To Supply Modular Air Separation Unit For Green Hydrogen Project

CNCD Awarded Contract to Supply Modular Air Separation Unit for Green Hydrogen Project

[City, Country] – [Date] – CNCD, a leading manufacturer of cryogenic air separation units, today announced it has been awarded a contract to supply a modular air separation unit (ASU) for a green hydrogen production facility in Heman The project will support the production of hydrogen via electrolysis and reinforce the plant's safety and inerting systems with high-purity nitrogen.

The order marks CNCD's continued expansion into energy transition projects, where oxygen and nitrogen are essential utility gases for hydrogen production, ammonia synthesis, and carbon management. The modular ASU is expected to be delivered and commissioned within 12 months, aligning with the project's fast-track schedule.

A Modular ASU Designed for Green Hydrogen Operations

Green hydrogen projects require reliable on-site industrial gas supply, but they also demand flexibility, speed, and compatibility with renewable power sources. The modular ASU selected for this project addresses these requirements through several key design features:

Skid-mounted process modules that reduce on-site installation time and civil work

High-purity oxygen supply for electrolysis balance-of-plant and potential oxy-fuel applications

High-purity nitrogen generation for purging, blanketing, and safety systems

Flexible load operation to match variable renewable electricity availability

Digital twin-enabled control system for real-time process optimization and predictive maintenance

The ASU will be factory-tested before shipment to minimize commissioning time and ensure consistent performance at site.

Supporting the Hydrogen Value Chain with Reliable Gas Supply

Hydrogen is a critical component of global decarbonization strategies. Green hydrogen, produced from renewable electricity and water, requires supporting utilities that can operate efficiently under variable conditions. Oxygen from air separation is used in some hydrogen production and downstream processing routes, while nitrogen is essential for inerting high-pressure hydrogen systems and maintaining safe operating conditions.

"Green hydrogen projects demand industrial gas equipment that is fast to deploy and efficient under dynamic operating conditions," said.Supporting the Hydrogen Value Chain with Reliable Gas Supply at CNCD. "Our modular ASU solution gives project developers a reliable, skid-mounted gas supply system that integrates with renewable energy sources and supports long-term operational safety."

Expanding Presence in Energy Transition Projects

This contract follows [Company Name]'s recent project deliveries for steel, chemicals, and electronics customers. The company has been increasing its focus on applications related to hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon capture, where air separation units play an enabling role.

Key applications for ASUs in energy transition projects include:

Oxygen supply for oxy-fuel combustion and partial oxidation

Nitrogen for ammonia synthesis and hydrogen compression safety

Argon for specialty metal fabrication used in electrolyzers and storage systems

Integration with carbon capture processes requiring purified oxygen

Project Scope and Deliverables

Under the contract, CNCD will provide:

Modular air separation unit with oxygen capacity of [X] tons per day

Nitrogen production capacity of [X] tons per day

Process design, fabrication, and factory acceptance testing

On-site installation supervision and commissioning support

Digital control system with remote monitoring capability

Training for plant operators and maintenance personnel

The equipment will be shipped in pre-assembled modules to reduce site work and accelerate the overall project schedule.
