Kolkata: Haldia Petrochemicals (HPL), the flagship of TCG group, is gearing up to meet almost 40% of the state’s medical oxygen requirement. The wholetime director of HPL, Subhasendu Chatterjee, said that this capacity would be further enhanced in future.
He pointed out that Haldia Petrochemicals (HPL) needs substantial quantity of gaseous nitrogen which is catered to by HPL’s captive nitrogen plant owned by Praxair and built on HPL’s land using HPL infrastructure.
In the process of producing nitrogen, Praxair also produces 95 tonnes per day of liquid oxygen, which is sold by Praxair for various usages, including for medical purpose.
