====== Large Industry ASU ======

The Large Industries business line supplies gas and energy solutions to customers in the metals, chemicals, refining and energy industries, which are essential for their own core businesses, to improve process efficiency and to make their plants more environmentally friendly.

Through its plants and its extensive pipeline network, Air Liquide provides oxygen, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen and carbon dioxide in large quantities. The Group also operates cogeneration plants to supply customers with steam and electricity.

===== GCPL (Gulf Coast Pipe Line) =====

The Gulf Coast Pipe Line consists of three basins, consisting of the East, Central, and South.

==== Bayport TX Plants 3 & 4 ====

* Bayport is the largest plant in the Central basin made up of 3 Plants. 3A, 4 and Liquifier 5. Bayport is the lifeline ASU for the central basin. Bayport supports the South and the East via Gox and Gan pipeline flow. During an [[http://playbook.steveflix.me/doku.php?id=supply_chain_common_terms#outage1|outage]], Bayport has the capabilities to "pack the pipe" to the east and southern basins to supply customer.
  * Bayport 3A typically runs in a 80/20 Lin/Lox Split.
  * Baypot 3A and Plant 5 both produce Lin Lox and Lar into shared storage tanks. 
  * Plant 5 (External Liquifier) can only run in full Lin or full Lox mode due to current plant design restrictions 
  * Bayport 4 only produces LOX for lox assist into a 11,000 gallon tank, and LAR for our consumption
  * Bayport 4 Argon production is supported with LIN assist via Logistics forecast customer. Truck pulls from 3A delivers to Plant 4 Lin Assist Tank 11,000 Gallons 
  * Bayport 3A is LAR Rail loading Tanks
  * Bayport 4 is LAR truck loading Tanks
  * When Bayport 4 Goes down - LOX assist is requested for restart VIA Logistics forescast Customer. Truck pulls from 3A Lox, delivers to 11,000 gallon Bayport 4 Tank. Up to 12 Loads a day.

==== Bay City TX LMA ====

Bay City's main role is to support the South Basin GOX Pipline. The LMA only produces Liquid LOX, GOX and LAR. Currently no loading capabilities for LOX. Bay City runs 60% of the time based on GOX demand.

^Products^Production^Storage^Redline^

==== Beaumont TX LMA ====

* Beaumont is part of the Eastern basin and produces Gaseous GAN, Gaseous GOX and Liquid LAR. 
  * Direct customer is NAT GAS. Whenever Nat Gas goes down, it shuts down Beaumont plant, which in turn affects other customers which need steam to run, similar to St. James which relies on steam from customers to run
  * When Beaumont goes down, Nederland must begin to Vaporize, however they can only vaporize for 24 hours. 2 loads of Lin assist is required to keep neiderland running.

  * Ingleside has two plants, Ingleside 1 and Ingleside 2 (Yango)
  * Plant 2 LAR is solely for AL Mexico 
  * Plant 1 is food grade LIN, plant 2 is just industrial. No Medical grade lin out of Ingleside.
