Danbury Gas Giant to Build Big Plant in LA

DANBURY, CT — Linde has announced it has signed a contract to build one of the largest hydrogen manufacturing plants in the U.S.

Linde merged with Danbury industrial gas maker Praxair last year, keeping their main corporate offices local.

The new plant, which will feed an unspecified refinery in Louisiana, will be responsible for about 10 percent of Linde’s hydrogen capacity in the Gulf Coast region.

"We are very pleased with this second major order from Praxair to supply a large hydrogen plant within a few months," said Dr. Christian Bruch, Member of the Executive Board of Linde AG and responsible for the company's plant engineering business, in a release. “Our well-founded and customer-oriented engineering solutions are the basis of this success.”
