SIAD Americas, a wholly owned subsidiary of SIAD Macchine Impianti (SIAD MI), will construct four air separation units (ASUs) for three US-based customers.
One of the ASU contracts was awarded by California-based Gas Engineering. Set to come onstream in 2025, the plant will supply oxygen, nitrogen, and argon to Brazil’s first green steel mill, located in the Maranhâo State municipality of Açailândia, Brazil.
The ASU is being designed by SIAD’s global engineering centres in Bergamo, Italy, and Hangzhou, China, with equipment sourced from suppliers in the US, Europe, and SIAD’s China fabrication facilities in Deqing.
SIAD has also received an award from a large industrial gas company for a 240 mTPD gaseous nitrogen ASU to supply nitrogen to its US-based customers.
Delivery of the plant is scheduled for late 2024 and it will meet the customer’s requirement for the lowest total installed cost for this size ASU. The nitrogen ASU will be supplied by SIAD MI’s engineering and fabrication facilities in Italy.
The final two ASU contracts were awarded earlier by an industrial gas company in Mexico to supply on-site nitrogen to its customers. The ASUs will employ SIAD’s liquid assist technology coupled with the company’s vacuum-insulated cold box technology, which collectively eliminates the need for turboexpanders.
Paolo Ferrario, general manager of SIAD MI, said the awards in the Americas market validates the launch of SIAD Americas to support the growth of customers in North, Central, and South America with its technology and equipment.
He continued, “The awards also reflect the confidence of our customers in SIAD’s ability to address their unique needs for high efficiency and modularised ASUs at a low total installed cost, whether engineered to order or our line of standardised ASUs and liquefiers.”
SIAD Macchine Impianti announced the launch of SIAD Americas in March 2024 to provide engineered solutions across North, Central, and South America.
The newly founded entity is headquartered in the Woodlands, north of Houston.
Through the launch of SIAD Americas, the company will expand its capabilities to supply air separation units (ASUs), carbon dioxide (CO2) and small-scale LNG plants, and reciprocating compressors for process and industrial gases, including hydrogen.
Bernardo Sestini, Chairman and CEO of SIAD S.p.A, said he is pleased to be entering the American market at a time of increased demand, supported by reshoring, near-shoring, sustainability, and the energy transition.
