Praxair Inc. has signed an agreement with ThyssenKrupp to supply oxygen, nitrogen and argon to the group’s new state-of-the-art carbon and stainless steel processing facilities which are currently under construction in Mobile, Alabama.
Praxair will build a 400 tpd onsite air separation plant to supply ThyssenKrupp’s requirements for oxygen, nitrogen and argon. The new plant will also generate liquefied industrial gas for the growing merchant customer base in the region.
ThyssenKrupp Steel USA and ThyssenKrupp Stainless USA, LLC, are constructing the $4.2bn manufacturing and processing facilities in the US as part of the company’s NAFTA strategy and an integral part of ThyssenKrupp’s overall global market strategy.
The new facilities will include a hot strip mill which will be used primarily to process slabs from ThyssenKrupp Steel’s new mill in Brazil. It will also feature cold rolling and hot-dip coating capacity for high-quality end products of flat carbon steel.
