White Martins, the Brazil-based subsidiary of Praxair, Inc. PX, has
started up a new air separation plant in the state of Mato Grosso, in Brazil's
fast growing Midwest region. As part of a long-term contract, Praxair will
supply Eldorado Celulose e Papel's single-line pulp mill, which will be the
largest in the world.
The new air separation unit will have the capacity to produce 220 tons per day
of oxygen, nitrogen and argon. Oxygen is a critical component in Eldorado's
manufacturing process. Oxygen delignification, used in the pulp bleaching
process, reduces active chlorine requirements, providing significant operating
cost advantages and environmental benefits. The plant will also supply local
merchant liquid customers in the Brazilian Midwest and in the neighboring
state of Sao Paulo in markets such as petrochemicals, metals and healthcare.
