Nucor plans $200M upgrade to South Carolina plant

HUGER, S.C. — Nucor Corp. is planning a five-year, $200 million mill modernization at its Nucor Steel Berkeley plant in Huger, South Carolina. That includes an air separation unit built by Nucor subsidiary Universal Industrial Gases.

The unit, which separates specific gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and argon from atmospheric air, will replace the Berkeley plant’s current need to purchase them from long-term suppliers. UIG will operate the air separation unit on the site.
