NovaAir to achieve ‘major breakthrough’ with milestone ASU plans in Malaysia

Overseas market brand of China-based Yingde Gases, NovaAir Industrial Gases, will construct a new merchant air separation unit (ASU) at the UMW High-Value Industrial Park in Central Malaysia to produce liquid nitrogen, oxygen and argon.
