Praxair signs agreement with Celanese to supply CO2, oxygen, nitrogen to Gulf Coast
Praxair’s pipeline systems are currently supported by multiple hydrogen and air separation plants and product storage capabilities.
Praxair, Inc., Danbury, Conn., signed a 15-year agreement with Celanese Corp., Irving, Texas, to supply carbon monoxide, oxygen and nitrogen to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Praxair will deliver high-purity carbon monoxide to Celanese from a new, state-of-the-art carbon monoxide and hydrogen plant that will be built, owned and operated by Praxair. The company will also expand its extensive hydrogen pipeline network to enable the supply of 80 million cubic feet per day of co-produced hydrogen to meet the requirements of other new customers along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Additionally, Praxair will build a new air separation unit on its nitrogen and oxygen pipeline network that will provide the industrial gases required by Celanese.
