Air Products pioneered remote gas conversion. We helped launch the LNG industry and have been designing liquefaction systems and supplying main cryogenic heat exchangers for plants all over the world for the past 30 years. Air Products' liquefaction process technology and equipment have been selected for over 90% of the world's baseload LNG capacity. No company has more experience in the supply of natural gas liquefaction processes and equipment than Air Products.
Air Products is a leading supplier of oxygen to the emerging Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) industry. As the energy industry began to commercialize gas-based Fischer-Tropsch technology, Air Products was there. Air Products is one of the few companies in the world with the technical and operating experience to provide the high degree of reliability, safety and performance required for the supply of oxygen to world scale GTL plants. In 2005, Air Products supplied two 3,500 metric ton-per-day air separation plants to the world's largest and most advanced GTL facility located in Qatar and owned by ORYX GTL Limited. The same supply of oxygen is contracted to Chevron Nigeria Ltd. for its Escravos GTL facility in Nigeria. The ASU's will supply 7,000 tonnes of oxygen per day to make synthesis gas in the GTL production process.
Air Products is developing new technology. Air Products is developing oxygen and synthesis gas Ion Transport Membrane (ITM) technology that has the potential to revolutionize the supply of oxygen and synthesis gas to the GTL industry. |
