LONDON (ICIS news)--Linde and Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (Adnoc) plan to invest $800m (€520m) in two large air separation units in the Middle East emirate, the German industrial gases company said on Thursday.

 

Due to start at the end of 2010, the two plants would supply nitrogen for injection into the onshore condensation field in Habshan, Abu Dhabi, to free natural gas for the national grid.

 

Linde said the two units would have a nitrogen capacity of 670,000 cubic metres/hour.

 

The joint venture, Elixier, is 51% owned by Adnoc and 49% by Linde.
