Praxair starts up ASU and extends pipeline supply system in Port of Antwerp

Praxair, Inc. has started up its second air separation unit (ASU) in the Port of Antwerp, as well as announcing plans to extend its pipeline supply system.

Having first publicised plans to develop its presence in the port in 2013, the new 1,300 tonnes per day (tpd) plant increases Praxair’s oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) capacity and will serve long-term customer contracts.
