Massy Gas Products Guyana Limited has achieved a significant milestone with the commissioning of Guyana’s first Air Separation Plant, a groundbreaking step in the local production of oxygen and nitrogen.
This state-of-the-art facility, located in Eccles, East Bank Demerara, will enhance the supply of these essential gases, serving industries like healthcare and manufacturing, while bolstering the country’s economic growth.
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Massy Gas Products Guyana CEO, Augustus Harris, highlighted the importance of this new venture, stating that Massy is the first company in Guyana to venture into liquefied gas production.
Harris noted that the plant will produce 13 tonnes of product daily, meeting the local demand for high-purity oxygen and nitrogen and eliminating the need for imports.
Minister of Natural Resources, Vickram Bharrat, delivered the keynote address, commending Massy Gas for its investment in Guyana’s infrastructure and its contribution to the country’s industrial development.
He described the company as a key partner in Guyana’s progress and urged continued investment in the nation.
Industry experts have welcomed the new air separation plant, which is expected to reduce costs and stabilize the supply of critical gases for both public and private sectors, marking a new chapter in Guyana’s industrial evolution.
