Air products has signed a long-term contract to supply gaseous oxygen to China's Jushi Group, the biggest fiberglass manufacturer in Asia. This is the third contract awarded to Air Products in support of Jushi's glass production in Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province. Under the terms of the agreement, Air Products will build a new air separation unit (ASU) and oxygen generator to supply on-site oxygen to Jushi, the second ASI Air Products has supplied to the plant. The two ASUs will also produce 600/tpd liquid products to supply additional customers. Jushi has built the world's largest fiberglass furnace and has embarked on a multiple phase plan to increase production capacity. Air Product's oxygen will be used in the oxy-fuel glass melting process to provide a high-energy and environmentally friendly process.
