Praxair, Inc. has started up its new air separation unit (ASU) at its Burns Harbor site in Indiana.
The 2,400 tonnes per day (tpd) facility is part of the Tier One corporation’s ongoing investment in its northwest Indiana operations and will continue to provide a reliable supply of pipeline oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) required by refining and steel customers in the region.
This is the fourth ASU at Praxair’s Burns Harbor site, all of which are connected to its 130-mile pipeline which runs along the south coast of Lake Michigan and serves a variety of large industries in northwest Indiana.
According to gasworld Business Intelligence, metals and refining end-users are the largest consumers of gases in the region, accounting for around 43% of total sales when combined. It is understood that this new ASU will help to fuel job creators across the state, as Indiana is home to the highest concentration of manufacturing in the nation.
