Air Products has signed a contract with Anhui Sanan OptoElectronics Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Sanan OptoElectronics, to build two on-site ammonia (NH3) plants at Sanan’s new high brightness light emitting diode (LED) manufacturing facility in China.
The plants will be located at Sanan’s new facility in the Wuhu Economic and Technological Development Area, Anhui Province, China.
The new facilities, which will supply ammonia with state-of-the-art purity to Sanan, will also be the first and largest on-site specialty gas plants in the world.
