The ASU produces oxygen, nitrogen and argon and is interconnected via pipeline with Air Liquide’s existing gas production facilities in Plaquemine.
Under agreements that went into effect 1 January 2012, Air Liquide will sell oxygen and nitrogen from the pipeline network to Georgia Gulf’s Plaquemine chemical plant.
The ASU will join an existing system of 13 Air Liquide air separation units and utility production facilities serving around 30 customers along the Mississippi River via Air Liquide’s pipeline network.
Georgia Gulf Chemicals executive vice president Joe Breunig said the new supply agreements provide access to a competitively priced, reliable supply of industrial gases to our facility.
