The Venezuelan subsidiary of US-based industrial gas company Praxair has started up operations at a new air separation unit in Barcelona, capital of Anzoátegui state in the country’s northeastern region, reports the daily newspaper El Tiempo.

He also explained that the plant was built in response to increased demand from oil and petrochemical companies based in the Jose cryogenic complex, as well as hospitals and other industrial firms in the east of the country.
