Air Liquide (AL) recently announced that it has signed two long-term supply agreements with Marathon Petroleum for a total of up to 900 tonnes per day oxygen for Marathon’s Refineries in Texas City, Texas and Garyville, Louisiana.

At Marathon’s Galveston Bay Refinery in Texas City, AL will increase its current oxygen delivery by 400 tonnes per day. And in Garyville, AL will increase oxygen delivery by up to as much as 500 tonnes per day.

The two agreements mark a growing relationship between the two companies and nearly double the amount of oxygen Air Liquide will supply Marathon in total.

Michael J. Graff, Executive Vice President, AL, said “the two new supply agreements with Marathon further demonstrate AL’s ability to develop and scale its capacity across our pipeline networks and safely and reliably serve the growing demand for industrial gases in key geographies.”
