Praxair, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Linde plc (NYSE:LIN;
FWB:LIN) today announced it has signed a long-term agreement to
supply oxygen to Fulcrum BioEnergy’s Sierra BioFuels Plant in
Storey County, Nevada. Praxair will build two vacuum pressure swing
adsorption (VPSA) plants at the facility, which is under
construction and expected to start up operations in early 2020.
"Praxair is proud to partner with Fulcrum at its Sierra waste to
fuels plant in Nevada,” said Armando Botello, West Region vice
president of Praxair’s U.S. industrial gases business. “This
project will use our Hot Oxygen Burner (HOB) and VPSA technologies
to deliver an innovative and reliable solution for our
customer.”
The Sierra BioFuels Plant will employ Praxair’s proprietary HOB
technology for increasing syngas yield from the gasification
process. HOB technology enables rapid partial oxidation of
remaining hydrocarbons and tars in the produced syngas without the
need for a catalyst or steam injection. The HOB technology, coupled
with gasification in Fulcrum’s process, will help transform
municipal solid waste into clean, high-quality syngas, which will
then be converted to low-carbon transportation fuels such as
renewable crude, jet fuel and diesel.
“Praxair is a leader in VPSA technology and we look forward to
working with them on our innovative waste to fuels plant,” said Lee
Rich, vice president of engineering and operations for Fulcrum.
“From design to plant operation, Praxair has a strong record of
providing safe, reliable and efficient service.”
Praxair was the first to develop VPSA technology and is a leader
in VPSA applications for oxygen production. For more information on
