Praxair, Inc announced the start-up of its new air separation plant at the Liaoning Oxiranchem, Inc. (Oxiran) facility in Yangzhou Chemical Industrial Park, Jiangsu Province, China. Praxair is the exclusive industrial gas supplier in the growing chemical park in east China, which has port access to the Yangtze River.
