DETAILS
Praxair, Inc. today announced it has signed
a long-term agreement to supply oxygen
to U.S. Methanol LLC’s new facility
in Institute, West Virginia.
The customer’s facility will produce
for use in the production of plastics,
varnishes, medicines, adhesives and textiles.
Praxair will build
a vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) plant
that is expected to start up in 2019.
U.S. Methanol’s West Virginia facility
will be a major regional manufacturer
benefiting from the abundance of gas
in the Marcellus and Utica shale fields.
The low cost of producing natural gas and related byproducts
is expected to expand the chemical industry in the area.
The company selected the site because of
* its access to extensive water,
* rail and highway systems and
* low cost raw materials.
