據烴加工網站7月16日報道 林德已經在美國建立了第五家液氫工廠，加強了公司在加州、阿拉巴馬州、印第安納州和紐約工廠的強大供應網絡。

　　位于德克薩斯州拉波特的新工廠將每天供應30噸以上的高純度液態氫，以滿足林德客戶日益增長的需求。該液化器從林德位于美國墨西哥灣海岸的長約600公里的管道中提取氫氣，該管道擁有15個以上獨立的制氫源，是當今美國最可靠的氫氣液化器原料供應。林德將凈化和液化氫氣，然后將其供應給終端市場，包括材料處理、移動、航空航天、制造、金屬、能源和電子。

　　林德南區副總裁杰夫·巴恩哈德表示：“新的制氫廠按時、按預算開工，這證明了過去兩年來執行這一項目的團隊的奉獻精神。該工廠不僅將提高我們現有網絡的可靠性，還將提高供應鏈的效率，提高我們滿足現有和新客戶日益增長的常規和清潔氫氣需求的能力。”

　　林德在氫氣的生產、加工、儲存和分銷方面處于全球領先地位，擁有世界上最大的液氫容量和分配系統。該公司還運營著世界上第一個高純度儲氫洞室，加上全球約1000公里的無與倫比的管網，為其客戶提供可靠的供應。林德處于向清潔氫氣過渡的前沿，在世界范圍內已經安裝了近200個氫燃料站和80個氫電解廠。

　　Linde starts up new liquid hydrogen plant

　　Linde has started up its fifth liquid hydrogen plant in the U.S., reinforcing the company's robust supply network of plants in California, Alabama, Indiana and New York.

　　The new plant in La Porte, Texas, will supply over 30 tons per day of high-purity liquid hydrogen to meet growing demand from Linde's customers. The liquefier takes hydrogen from Linde's approximately 600-kilometer U.S. Gulf Coast pipeline, which has over 15 independent hydrogen production sources, giving it the most reliable feed supply of any hydrogen liquefier in the U.S. today. Linde will purify and liquefy the hydrogen before supplying it to end markets including material handling, mobility, aerospace, manufacturing, metals, energy and electronics.

　　"The new hydrogen plant started up on time and on budget, which is a testament to the dedication of the team executing this project over the last two years," said Jeff Barnhard, Vice President South Region, Linde. "This plant will not only boost the reliability of our existing network but will also make the supply chain more efficient and increase our ability to serve the rising demand from existing and new customers, for both conventional and clean hydrogen."

　　Linde is a global leader in the production, processing, storage and distribution of hydrogen. It has the largest liquid hydrogen capacity and distribution system in the world. The company also operates the world's first high-purity hydrogen storage cavern, coupled with an unrivaled pipeline network of approximately 1,000 kilometers globally to reliably supply its customers. Linde is at the forefront in the transition to clean hydrogen and has installed close to 200 hydrogen fueling stations and 80 hydrogen electrolysis plants worldwide.
