Beijing Praxair, an affiliate of Praxair China, announced that it has signed an oxygen (O2) supply contract with Beijing Drainage Group (BDG). Under the contract, Praxair China will be the exclusive supplier of O2 to three wastewater treatment plants in Beijing that will supply the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. These plants are located in the Qinghe, Beixiaohe, and Jiuxianqiao sections of Beijing.
The organizers of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games have put a great emphasis on environmental friendliness. In order to improve the water quality in Beijing and save water resources, the Beijing municipal government decided to build three wastewater re-use plants. As these plants will directly serve the Beijing Olympic, the requirements that BDG has put on the O2 supplier are very strict. BDG chose Praxair China after comparing different suppliers on reliability, quality, technology and reputation. Operations have already started, and are going smoothly.
Praxair is the leading gas supplier to the water treatment field in China. It serves over 20 locations throughout China in drinking water and wastewater treatment.
