Air Products has announced plans to build, own, and operate two nitrogen plants in Penang, Malaysia, specifically in the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone and Batu Kawan Industrial Park. Additionally, the company will extend its pipeline network in both areas.

To that effect, the company will construct a nitrogen plant at a greenfield site in Batu Kawan Industrial Park and integrate it into the existing pipeline network. Air Products will also build a new nitrogen plant in the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone to meet the increasing demand from the electrical, electronics, and other manufacturing industries.
