Air Liquide’s Kazakhstan JV, Air Liquide Karabatan Tech Gases (ALKTG), has signed a long-term agreement with chemical producer Silleno LLP and will invest in two new nitrogen-production units in Kazakhstan. Operated under Air Liquide Munay Tech Gases (75% Air Liquide/25% KazMunayGaz), the project will expand local nitrogen supply for Silleno and strengthen the country’s industrial gas infrastructure.

What opportunities or challenges do you see from expanding nitrogen capacity in Kazakhstan’s chemicals sector, and how might long-term supply deals shape future investments?

Are these cryo ASUs or PSA/VSA, and what’s the ride-through and black-start plan for grid events in Karabatan: N+1 trains with LIN buffer, diesel backup, or high-pressure banks? Also, what’s the guaranteed purity and dew point at the fence, and how are you winterizing filtration to avoid icing at -30 C? Please tell me the control stack is local and not dependent on any cloud link.

Is ALKTG installing cryogenic ASUs or PSA/membrane units, and what purity/dew point is Silleno targeting (e.g., <10 ppm O2, −70°C)? We saw a big safety and uptime gain moving from bulk deliveries to on‑site N2 with N+1 compression and vaporizer redundancy; how are they planning for power stability and winterization to keep continuous supply in Atyrau’s winters?
