  Question Our LED manufacturing facility is experiencing a variety of problems with our NH3 flow rates and purity while seeing increasing costs. What are your recommendations?
 

Answer

 

 

 

 

 

 

As ammonia (NH3) use levels increased in LED manufacturing, many facilities experienced a myriad of challenges related to the thermodynamic properties of this gas. While bulk specialty gas supply (BSGS) overcomes the many challenges presented by cylinders and gas cabinets, problems with flow rates, purity and expenses can still be present.

In such cases, a Total Solutions approach is required which will pair the most economical, guaranteed-purity NH3 solution with a comprehensive BSGS that has the necessary redundancy to minimize single points of  failure. These single points of failure are further eliminated using a process of FMEA (failure mode and effects analysis). Using  Air Products' Total Solutions approach with ISO BSGS for NH3 supply saves money through better product utilization than cylinders. Air Products, a pioneer in BSGS supply with more systems installed than all the competitors combined, is the most experienced NH3 bulk supplier in the world. Put our Total  Solutions approach to work for you. For more information or to submit a question for "Ask the Expert," visit us  at www.airproducts.com/asktheexpert or call 800-654-4567.
