Merchant Gases Solutions
 

Merchant Gases
In this business, we supply industrial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium and hydrogen as well as certain medical and specialty gases to a wide variety of industrial and medical customers via bulk supply (tanker/tube trailer), packaged gases (cylinders/dewars) and small on-sites (cryogenic/noncryogenic generators).

We focus on helping our merchant customers run their processes in a more sustainable fashion, using environmentally friendly gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon that are derived from the air, and technologies that use these gases to significantly improve environmental and economic performance.

Higher efficiency and lower emissions in glassmaking
Commercial glassmakers are challenged by energyintensive manufacturing processes and air pollutant emissions regulations. Our oxy-fuel technologies and Cleanfire® burners reduce or eliminate nitrogen in glass furnaces, improving fuel efficiencies and production rates and helping significantly lower NOX and SOX emissions.

Water treatment solutions
From the food industry to the chemical industry to pulp and paper and municipalities, we support wastewater plants all over the world. At a time of ever-tightening environmental regulations, our newest modular ozone systems and wastewater systems help improve the availability of drinking water and the safe disposal of wastewater.

Environmentally friendly cooling for metalworking
For metalworking shops, our LIN machining technology replaces conventional cutting fluids in machining operations. This eliminates the need for emulsion or oil coolants and lubricants and downstream cleaning, while providing improved working conditions for operators and reduced processing steps.

Safer freezing, fresher food
Our cryogenic food freezing systems use high-purity liquid nitrogen to provide safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly food freezing and chilling, reducing processing time and floor space, improving processors' energy efficiency, and increasing product quality and shelf life for the consumer.
