Merchant Gases

Overview

We develop solutions for merchant customers to enable their processes to be run in a more sustainable fashion. We target using environmentally friendly gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon and technologies to significantly improve their environmental and economic performance. We supply industrial gases to a wide variety of industrial and medical customers via bulk supply (tanker/tube trailer), packaged gases (cylinder/dewars) and small on-sites (cryogenic/noncryogenic generators).

Applications


Combustion		Advanced Oxidation for Water Treatment
	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. tell me more		We have been providing industrial and municipal water and wastewater treatment solutions for more than 30 years. Our advanced oxidation technologies incorporate a modular approach with customized solutions and proven results for advanced oxidation in water treatment and cost effective aeration for biological wastewater systems. tell me more

Metals		Cryogenics and Food
	Revolutionizing metal cutting technology—ICEFLY® machining technology enables the machining of metals like hardened steels, wear-resistant alloys and titanium alloys. tell me more Cold Rolling Air Products' cool rolling technology uses liquid nitrogen as the cooling medium during the final or skin pass rolling step to attain high mill speeds and a brighter strip surface quality while reducing downtime. tell me more Thermal Spray We are developing the industry's only cryogenic nitrogen cooling process. It has provided productivity benefits in a range of High Velocity Oxy-fuel (HVOF) coating applications, involving aerospace parts, construction equipment, and rolls. tell me more		We are developing packaging, cooling, chilling and freezing applications for a variety of different industrial needs. Our Freshline® solutions offer you the high-purity gases and equipment. the international supply capability, and—most important—the unmatched industry experience. tell me more
