Pennsylvania gas supplier Airgas said it plans to expand its Connecticut operations with a second air separation plant in the New London County town of Bozrah.
The company said in a statement that the additional plant would allow it to produce more gas and also make its supply more secure.
The second unit would produce oxygen, nitrogen and argon starting in the fall of 2015. The company has 15 such units across the country.
Airgas has area operations in Hartford, Windsor, Middletown and Cheshire.
