Praxair, Inc. has signed a long-term agreement with Delaware City Refining Company in which Praxair will purchase crude carbon dioxide from the refinery.
Praxair will build, own and operate a 450-ton-per-day carbon dioxide purification and liquefaction plant at the refinery, producing beverage-quality liquid carbon dioxide for distribution into the Northeastern U.S. merchant market. Praxair already supplies Delaware City Refining with nitrogen for its operational needs.
This new carbon dioxide source, which will begin serving customers in 2016, further strengthens Praxair’s supply position in the Northeast. Praxair previously started up a 450-ton-per-day carbon dioxide purification facility in Hopewell, Virginia, and also operates carbon dioxide facilities in Southeastern Canada.
