Air Liquide Commissions Two Plants in Texas

French industrial gases producer Air Liquide has opened two packaged gas facilities in the Bayport Industrial District, southeast of Houston, Texas.

A cylinder filling center on the grounds of the company's production complex in La Porte, Texas, and a facility in Pasadena, Texas, that produces specialty gas mixtures, were recently redesigned and rebuilt with industry-leading technologies that enhance safety and optimize productivity, efficiency and reliability.

The La Porte cylinder filling center features an innovative automated system that blends and packages pure industrial gases produced on-site, including oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and rare gases. The Pasadena facility features Air Liquide's in-house mixing technology, along with modern safety and gas detection equipment, enabling the company to expand its blending and analytical capabilities.

The gas facilities will supply customers in a range of industries.
