U.S. Department of Energy Receives Air Products' External Collaboration Award
The DOE's financial support and collaboration have benefited Air Products in two ways: through the commercialization or near-commercialization of profitable technologies, and through demonstration systems that help others learn how to bring radical new energy concepts to fruition.
Examples of commercialized technologies developed with the aid of DOE funding are Air Products' ICEFLY™ technology for the clean, efficient machining of metals, and our advanced PSA for hydrocarbon recovery.
Examples of major demonstration infrastructure developed with DOE funding are Eastman Chemical's Kingsport facility, which uses Air Products' Liquid Phase Methanol (LPMEOH™) technology, and the Nevada Hydrogen Energy Station, which demonstrates state-of-the-art hydrogen production and dispensing technology and electric power generation from hydrogen.
New projects in the pipeline include Energy Efficient and Environmentally Improved Methods for the Production of Polyurethane Foam, and oxygen- and syngas-producing technologies based on high-temperature ion transport membranes (ITMs.)
Air Products plc was awarded the Queen's Awards for Enterprise: Innovation 2004, for its BIP® technology, rewarding the first real change made on Industrial Gas cylinder technology for over 100 years.
Gases and Technology magazine recognized Air Products with its 2004 Product Innovation Award at SEMICON® West 2004 for the MegaBIP® HCl cylinder delivery technology.
Air Products' lighter weight INTEGRA® cylinder with integrated valve and flow control system, together with our improved range of MAXX® gas mixtures has overturned decades of tradition in the mature welding industry. By providing faster processing at higher quality, together with improved environmental performance, the MAXX gases have reduced cost of ownership for customers, and together with the improved ergonomics of the Integra cylinder have significantly improved operator safety. This ground breaking combination of innovations was awarded the inaugural ECN Dow Corning Chemical Industry new product Innovation award 2004.
