SIAD Macchine Impianti is pleased to announce their winning an important order from a leading Indian company operating in the medical and industrial gas production and distribution sectors. The order involves the supply of a Smart Liquid Plant, with the modular Air Separation Unit (ASU) representing a development of SIAD Macchine Impianti’s liquid oxygen and nitrogen production systems.

The five main modules making up the system will be fully assembled and tested in the factory – and then installed and connected on site in just 15 days, which is 70% less than the time normally required for such operations. This saves about 30 days in the time and costs of a complete installation, thereby allowing earlier commencement of production.

The contract was completed very quickly. After the meeting held at a conference of gas producers in Dubai in December, the customer was able to visit a nearby SIAD Macchine Impianti installation in the UAE, and the contract was signed a month later.

The plant will be built also with the aid of an Indian partner who will be entrusted with the “warm end”, i.e. the part involving the air precooling and the air prepurifier units. The advantages of collaboration in the field are considerable: for a start, localizing part of the production means savings on import duties and overseas transportation. For the customer, it means having initial local support, whilst still retaining the prestige of a Western brand.
