Praxair will build, own and operate several hydrogen plants and air separation units that will supply the gases to meet Samsung’s growing global semiconductor demands. Praxair will also build multiple purifiers and an extensive pipeline system to support the project. The first of Praxair’s new plants will start up in 2019.

"For more than 40 years, we have worked closely with Samsung to provide a reliable supply of industrial gases and innovative technologies that enable them to serve their electronics customers globally, while helping drive efficiency and growth,” said B.S. Sung, president of Praxair Korea. “We are proud to strengthen our longstanding relationship with Samsung, a world leader in semiconductor technologies, and look forward to supporting their newest world-scale manufacturing complex."
