Description
Representing the final stage of carbon monoxide production, the new #6 cooling tower at the Praxair plant in Geismar (Louisiana) expels excess heat as water vapor into the air. The US$ 100 million project by Praxair, a leading global industrial gas company, will help to expand the plant’s carbon monoxide production output to better meet increasing demand from the Mississippi River corridor of the USA, which includes over a dozen customers ranging from world-scale refineries to biofuel companies.
Products Used
PENETRON ADMIX SB (in soluble bags) was added to the concrete for the Praxair facility at the Sorrento Lumber concrete batching plant just a few miles from the project construction site. For added protection, an additional coating of PENETRON topical material was applied as a slurry to the surface of the basin to coat and seal any additional cracking that became evident in the new concrete.
