Tonnage Gases, Energy and Equipment (TGEE)

Overview

Tonnage Gases is our business supplying large quantities of hydrogen, synthesis gas, carbon monoxide, oxygen and nitrogen, mainly to petroleum refining, chemical and metallurgical customers under long-term contracts. We generally build a facility adjacent to or nearby our customer’s facility and deliver product through a pipeline. Our Equipment business provides LNG heat exchangers, air separation plants, hydrocarbon recovery and purification equipment, and helium distribution equipment to industry. Within Energy, we own and operate power generation and flue gas treatment facilities and are developing technologies to serve energy markets of the future, including gasification and alternative energy technologies.

As a core business, Hydrogen production technology demands application of significant engineering, development, and continuous improvement to remain competitive. At Air Products, we leverage our expertise to maintain and increase our competitive advantage.

Ion Transport Membranes (ITM)

A new air separation technology—Ion Transport Membrane Oxygen (ITM) is an enabler for advanced clean power and can reduce the cost of gasification. ITM is based on ceramic membranes that selectively transport oxygen ions when operated at high temperature and is being developed by an Air Products-led team in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
