Following are some examples of recent productivity improvements initiated by Praxair:

Chemical producers rely upon Praxair's oxygen to boost productivity in many chemical processing application. For instance, injecting oxygen directly into chemical reactors dramatically improves yield, increases throughput and minimizes waste.

Producers of margarines and shortenings benefit from faster reaction times and less waste by using Praxair's hydrogen and hydrogenation technology to turn liquid oils into semi-solid and solid fats.

Food manufacturers use CO2 to freeze meats, vegetables and other foods to keep them fresher longer.

Companies that treat metals with heat to make them harder and tougher depend upon Praxair's nitrogen, hydrogen and related technologies to eliminate complex atmosphere generators, improve quality and avoid capital investments.
