Praxair, Inc. has started up two new air separation plants to supply China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), a Fortune Global 100 company and one of the largest in China.
The two plants, each with 2,400-tonnes-per-day of oxygen (O2) capacity, are supplying on-site O2 and nitrogen (N2) to CNOOC to support the company’s refinery expansion and related downstream chemical production.
With the start-up of the two new plants, Praxair is now operating a 5,600-tonne-per-day production complex, made up of four air separation units (ASUs).
