Praxair China has announced the signing of a contract with Hainan China Aviation Special Glass Materials Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Aviation Sanxin Co., Ltd. (CAS), to supply oxygen and high purity nitrogen for a 100% oxy-fuel float glass furnace, the first of its kind in China. As per the contract, Praxair China will construct an air separation plant for China Aviation Special Glass at its glass production site in Hainan province, South China. This is the second Praxair facility in Hainan province, as it built a nitrogen plant at Haikou in 2005. CAS is a leading manufacturer of speciality glass products such as low-E energy-saving glass, solar energy glass and curtain walls in China and will, thanks to PPG“s oxy-fuel furnace as well as online low-E technology from PPG to produce low-E float glass, be operating the most advanced high-end float glass site in China. We“re proud of this contract with CAS, our new customer in the glass industry, said David Chow, president of Praxair China. With the encouraging prospects of energy-saving glass in the construction sector of China, Praxair will have further opportunities to apply its energy-saving and environmentally-beneficial technologies here.
