The Linde Group (Munich, Germany; www.linde.com) has recently signed an engineering and procurement contract for two hydrogen plants in Nizhnekamsk, Republic of Tatarstan, Russia. The contract was awarded by PSC TAIF-NK, a leader in the oil-refining industry in Tatarstan. The contract is worth around €120 million. Linde will be responsible for basic and detail engineering, procurement and supply of equipment and materials. The two new hydrogen plants, each with a capacity of around 110,000 normal cubic metres per hour (Nm3/h), will supply high-purity hydrogen to the heavy-residue conversion complex at the Nizhnekamsk petroleum refinery site. The new hydrogen plants are planned to be delivered by the end of 2015.
