Air Products to Highlight Reliable and Efficient Medical Gas Supply at ASHE Annual Conference

Air Products (NYSE:APD) will highlight the reliability and efficiency of its medical gas supply systems—including solutions for temporary or emergency medical gas supply during tank changeouts or other planned and unplanned outages—at the American Society for Healthcare Engineering Annual Conference & Technical Exhibition (ASHE Annual Conference) in Baltimore from July 15-16. 

ASHE attendees are invited to stop by Air Products’ booth 1815 to learn how the company can help change out their gas storage tank with no service interruption, reduce their oxygen usage by as much as 30 percent, and provide services and solutions that can help them meet the needs of their patients—quickly, effectively and safely. 

Following are some of the offerings Air Products will highlight at the show:

• Easy Tank Changeouts 
  For medical gas tank changeouts, Air Products provides quick and seamless installation in as little as three days. During installation of the new tank, the company’s Mobile Medical Tank Trailers provide temporary medical gas supply, eliminating downtime. Air Products provides numerous other services, such as testing, repairs, preventative maintenance, gas audits, engineering, and turnkey installations. 

• Emergency Supply Systems
  Air Products offers emergency supply systems that can provide an instantaneous supply of oxygen for a variety of unexpected situations, such as an oxygen line failure, an unforeseen disaster, or unusual spikes in demand. These systems are supported by the company’s proprietary software and remote TELALERT® telemetry system, which help facilitate forecasting and scheduling product deliveries. 

• High Efficiency Supply Systems
  Air Products’ High Efficiency Supply Systems for liquid oxygen can reduce the loss of normally vented oxygen by as much as 30 percent. Using patented technology, these systems first pull oxygen in the form of a gas, rather than a liquid, to eliminate a rise in the tank’s pressure, thereby reducing product loss. Depending on volume requirements, these systems can work with many medical or industrial gases applications that employ batch/intermittent usage or start-and-stop consumption. 

As a leading supplier of medical gases in North America since 1947, Air Products provides a variety of safe and reliable delivery options to match each customer’s requirements. The company offers traditional bulk liquid and gas supply for large-volume users. For small-volume users, its CryoEase® microbulk solution is a cost-effective alternative to cylinder supply that eliminates the hassle of cylinder handling, resulting in improved safety and quality control, as well as reduced costs due to increased efficiencies.
