Mr Aldo Belloni - Tonnage Gases, the Make versus Buy Argument

The supply of large volumes of industrial gases, e.g. oxygen, nitrogen or hydrogen, requires production on-site close to the point of consumption. For setting up this on-site production of tonnage gases, the customer has to decide between captive production or a supply contract through a gas company. This make versus buy decision is driven through different criteria, which depend on the specific situation.

Mr John Grover - Off Shore Oil and Gas Services

Industrial gases, and in particular liquid nitrogen, are used for a variety of applications in the offshore oil and gas industry. This paper will provide an overview of this market, discuss the potential growth areas, and review the support services necessary to support offshore work.

Mr Dmitri Ermolov - Solutions for the Tonnage Gases Business

A discussion of the challenges facing the tonnage gases business and how Cryogenmash is equipped to meet them.

Mr Jan Van Houwenhove - Industrial Gas Applications Using Mobile Cryogenic Equipment

The operational cost of an industrial gas company is increasing fast. Efficient delivery methods for industrial gases are being investigated constantly. Transport of liquid gas is more efficient than transport of gaseous industrial gas. It is in thie field of liquid industrial gas that specialised companies like the VRV Group are looking for optimisations.

Mr John Raquet - The Middle East: The New Industrial Gas Frontier

The future business opportunities in the Middle East could be significant with the continuing project activity in the region boosted by the revenues generated from the high oil prices. This is why there is increasing interest from the major international gas companies and hence the real theme of the conference - the gases new frontier.

Mr Frank Finger - Industrial Gases Associations: Objectives and Benefits

This is to demonstrate the growing demand for international norms and standards due to a strongly expanding worldwide trade in industrial gases. It will be explained how the global industrial gases industry and international organisations like the UN, ISO or CEN are reacting to this development and how EIGA contributes to this process.

Mr Rick Kowey - The production of specialty gas mixtures is an artform and a science

The world's rapidly changing markets have made 'forward thinking' the driving force among specialty gas companies that are not only surviving, but growing and reaping the benefits of some very attractive markets. Delivering business value is more and more about being able to offer competitive advantage with what is being sold.

Mr Andrew Brown - LNG - An interest to industrial gas companies

The development of the LNG supply chain is one of the fastest growing industries in the world; LNG has become an attractive source of energy and this is being exploited in many areas. The industrial gas industry sits on a vast knowledge of cryogenic expertise and has already explored, developed and experienced the issues the LNG industry is beginning to see. This presentation introduces LNG development and investment, explores and offers suggestions on down- and up-stream LNG applications and offers standards and working practices for cryogenic applications.

Mr Keith Stewart - Valve selection & Operator Misuse - Creating Global Incidents

The paper highlights events that have occurred in the industry over recent years and the faults that are replicated globally every day of the week, fortunately without becoming incidents. It suggests explanations and puts estimated costs against these.

Mr Neil Amber - Air separation plant revamp and technology upgrade options

An oxygen plant sourcing functionary is often faced with the dilemma between having to restore and upgrade an old air separation plant or simply scrapping it and purchasing a new ASU. In this presentation, UIG shares its wealth of experience in design and mangement of such projects for tonnage oxygen plants in various countries from India, the Middle East, and Mexico to the United States.

Mr Savir Julka - INOX Group & Inox India Ltd

An overview of INOX Group & Inox India Ltd.
