MATHESON Wins Large Hydrogen Business in India
Nippon Sanso Holdings Corporation (“NSHD”, President CEO: Toshihiko Hamada) hereby announces that Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc. (“MATHESON”, headquartered in Texas, U.S.), NSHD’s U.S. operating company, received the Award for the Supply of Hydrogen and co-product steam for a period of 20 years from Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL), a Public Sector affiliate of the Government of India.
MATHESON will invest in, and establish a large, multi-feed hydrogen plant to supply up to 132 kNm3/hr (285 Tons/day) to NRL’s refinery units at Numaligarh in Assam, India. The engineering and construction of the plant will be executed by Larsen & Toubro Limited, India, and the reforming technology will be licensed from Topsoe A/S, Denmark. Hydrogen and co-product steam from the plant will support the highly strategic Numaligarh Refinery Expansion Project (NREP) of the prestigious Northeast development initiative of the Government of India that also includes the Paradip Numaligarh Crude Pipeline (PNCP) project, Crude Oil Import Terminal (COIT) at Paradip, India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline (IBFP), Numaligarh-Siliguri interstate products pipeline and 2G Ethanol Project(*1,2). We are proud and honored to be an integral portion of the initiative.
The Hydrogen complex solution was developed by MATHESON’s Global HYCO business unit in collaboration with our leading technology and engineering partners. The solution targets flexibility and operability criteria to enable high-reliability operations with a very wide range of feedstock and fuel, as well as the highest resource utilization efficiency that supports MATHESON/NSHD’s Carbon Index considerations and economic objectives. Subsequent to completion of engineering and construction in accordance with MATHESON’s Global HYCO standards and specifications, the plant will be streamed in 2025.
This initiative demonstrates NSHD’s commitment to significant growth through gases supply for highly strategic, commercially sound projects and represents a significant additional dimension for our Global HYCO footprint. This will strengthen NSHD’s presence in the growth segment of south and south-east Asia and establish our Global HYCO operations in India.
NSHD, in its effort to foster a carbon neutral society, is pursuing multiple business and program initiatives under the Global HYCO effort that supplies hydrogen, syngas and carbon monoxide products to select customers for carefully selected projects. We are committed to continue to explore opportunities to realize growth and a carbon-neutral society by expanding this business on a global scale.

Opportunities to Grow within MATHESON
Meet Wade, Our December Employee Spotlight
Since 2015, Wade has worked at MATHESON’s Waverly, NE location.
However, Wade’s journey with MATHESON began in the early 1990s, before MATHESON acquired Linweld. “I started at Linweld in 1994 and worked with cylinders and reconditioning in the cylinder distribution center. My tasks included retesting cylinders, putting new valves in, and repainting the cylinders. I also helped with loading and unloading the route trucks.”
Wade decided to make a career change and move from the cylinder distribution center to the warehouse. “Working at a large company, I had the opportunity to move into a different area and see a new side of the company.” After working as a warehouse associate, Wade was promoted to team leader.
I work with many great people, and we make a great team.
Wade
In Wade’s current position, he plays a vital role in the supply chain management of our inventory. He is responsible for quality control of all orders, ensuring that the orders are processed accurately and shipped on time with all the appropriate paperwork. Wade is also responsible for maintaining all customer delivery records.
Wade thoroughly enjoys working with his fellow team members. “I work with many great people, and we make a great team. We have many things in common since many of us came from the cylinder distribution center, and we share a similar goal of doing our job promptly and efficiently.”
When Wade is not working, he enjoys spending time with his family, including his wife, two kids, mother, and mother-in-law. Wade and his wife like traveling, especially to South Dakota. Wade states he is a “simple man with a simple life,” but his career at MATHESON has allowed him to grow and develop his confidence and workplace relationships.
