Praxair China has started-up a large air separation plant in Wuwei, Anhui province, to supply gases to the Anhui Wuwei coal-based chemicals project of Anhui HuaYi Chemical Co., Ltd.
The new plant, only 100km from Nanjing, will supply oxygen, nitrogen, and clean air to the coal-based projects.
The single-train air separation unit, with a capacity of 3,000 tons per day, will also generate liquid oxygen, nitrogen and argon.
