BOC is expanding its carbon dioxide (CO2) capacity with a new plant in Volney, New York.
The plant will be the first CO2 plant built in the Northeast in nearly two decades and will be the only CO2 plant in the region.
BOC will build the 600-ton a day plant at the Permolex International/NEB ethanol plant, expected to begin operating in December 2007, and which will be housed in a former brewery in the Riverview Business Park, some 25 miles north of Syracuse.
