Praxair Canada Inc.

Praxair Canada Inc.

Praxair is the largest industrial gases company in North and South America, and one of the largest worldwide, with annual sales of more than US $4 billion. The company produces, sells and distributes atmospheric, process and specialty gases, and high-performance surface coatings. Praxair is also the world's largest supplier of carbon dioxide and a recognized leader in the commercialization of new technologies that bring productivity and environmental benefits to a diverse group of industries.


This company introduced cryogenic air separation to the U.S. industry in the early 1900's and is currently leading the development of advanced non-cryogenic systems. This firm is dedicated to the continuing innovation in application technologies specific to particular industries, such as: thermal spray coatings, including detonation gun, plasma, high-velocity oxy-fuel and diffusion processes, anilox and hydrophilic roll surfaces and thermal spray development and manufacturing.


The company was founded in 1907 as Linde Air Products Company, and merged into the Union Carbide and Carbon Corporation in 1917. Known as the 'Linde Division' in North America, the business became Union Carbide Industrial Gases Inc. in 1988, and spun off as an independent, publicly-traded company named Praxair Inc. on June 30, 1992.

Environmental Products And Services

Continuous Cryogenic Reflux Condenser
Liquid nitrogen (N2) can be used with a novel heat exchange technique to recover almost all VOC's including those with very low condensation temperatures. The liquid nitrogen used for condensation is then available as pure nitrogen for further plant uses.

Use Carbon Dioxide Gas
Carbon dioxide (CO2) when mixed with water forms a weak acid that is very effective for controlling pH of waters between 6 and 14. It is self-buffering so overdosing of CO2 gas will not cause pH to drop below 6 at atmospheric conditions.

Use Of Oxygen To Upgrade The Treatment Plant
The use of the oxygen (O2) in air-based wastewater treatment systems can up-rate existing systems by 4 1/2 times, eliminating major capital investment and high energy costs. Praxair's in situ oxygenator can transfer 4.5 kg O2/kWh energy.
