Linde to supply ultra-high purity hydrogen for WACKER polysilicon plant
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — Linde North America Inc., has commenced supplying ultra-high purity hydrogen and steam to WACKER for its polysilicon plant located in Charleston, Tennessee. WACKER's state-of-the-art multi-product facility, which recently began operating in Tennessee, can produce 20,000 tpy of polysilicon, a basic ingredient in the manufacture of solar panels and semiconductors. Linde's ultra-high purity hydrogen and steam are essential to WACKER's production of polysilicon for these consumer markets.
Linde is the world's largest manufacturer of hydrogen, covering the entire technology spectrum with plants in a range of sizes. The latest hydrogen supply agreement with WACKER underscores Linde's focus on investing to meet demand growth in the US.
The new WACKER plant uses Linde's state-of-the-art Steam Methane Reforming and Pressure-Swing Adsorption technologies to produce the ultra-high purity product as required by WACKER. Linde also supplies WACKER with steam produced in the reforming process.
