Linde installs gasifier at Texas gases complex

The plant is part of a more than $250m investment that also includes a state-of-the art air separation unit (ASU), which is also under construction. The gasification plant is scheduled to come on-stream in early 2015.

The syngas products will be served by pipeline to a key customer.
