Praxair starts up first LNG plant in Brazil

White Martins, a subsidiary of Praxair, has started up the first natural gas liquefaction plant in Brazil.

The plant is also the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant to be built and operated by the company worldwide.

The plant will supply LNG to a joint venture, named GásLocal, between White Martins and Petrobras, Brazil’s state-owned oil company.

Located in Paulínia, in the State of São Paulo, the plant produces 14.5 million cubic feet (about 350 tons) per day of LNG, which is being distributed by truck to supply regions of Brazil not serviced by natural gas pipelines.
