The US-based industrial gas manufacturer Praxair Inc on April 19, 2016 signed a long-term agreement to purchase by-product carbon dioxide from US Nitrogen LLC, a subsidiary of Austin Powder Company, a leading provider of industrial blasting products and services.
 
Praxair will build, own and operate a carbon dioxide purification and liquefaction facility at US Nitrogen’s recently constructed ammonia plant in Tennessee, which is part of a larger vertical integration project. Praxair’s facility will purify by-product carbon dioxide and produce beverage-quality liquid carbon dioxide for distribution and use by customers throughout the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the US.
 
  Expected to start up in late 2017, the facility further expands Praxair’s carbon dioxide sources. The company expects to start-up a previously announced carbon dioxide purification plant in late 2016 at a refinery in Delaware. In the Eastern region of the US, Praxair operates additional carbon dioxide purification and liquefaction facilities in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
