BOC will also supply WCI with nitrogen via pipeline, along with bulk shipments of argon, CO2, hydrogen and nitrogen. Ground breaking for the new ASU is scheduled for early 2001. It is expected to come on line in mid-2002. The ASU incorporates BOC's unique Product Platform approach to plant design.
Standard subsystems provide a proven, reliable basis for plant operation.
The use of modules allows the plant to be customized to meet specific customer requirements by using different combinations of standard subsystems. That, along with BOC's willingness to expand their production to better meet our needs, were important elements in awarding this contract. We are delighted they selected us to meet their industrial gases needs, and look forward to continuing our relationship with them for many more years.
