Despite bumps in the economic landscape, demand for nitrogen has remained fairly steady in the US markets since our last report. In this article, we examine the sectors that have kept the nitrogen market relatively buoyant. Nitrogen production plants,...
CryoGas International recently attended a program on clean energy innovation held by the Massachusetts Hydrogen Coalition. The meeting showcased New England hydrogen generation and storage technologies. Proton Energy Systems (www.protonenergy.com), a global leader in hydrogen energy, was among...
Oxygen has played a key role in the treatment of drinking water and wastewater for over 40 years. The estimated current global consumption of oxygen in these applications is around 15,000 tons per day. In the US, about 20...
Drinking water requires the precise application of the oxygen molecule in several parts of a water treatment process train. On-site oxygen generators can be used for odor control applications and to generate ozone for disinfection or remediation. Oxygen also plays...
When, one by one, the miners trapped in Chile were finally hoisted slowly to the surface in a specially designed escape capsule, they were breathing oxygen supplied by four Luxfer L7X one cubic-meter cylinders, donated by Indura, a...
When we go to the hospital or order oxygen for home healthcare, most of us go on faith that the gas is safe. Few, if any, patients worry about gas contaminants, like moisture, which can lead to corrosion within the...
Air gases, namely oxygen, nitrogen, and argon, are the largest and most dynamic markets within the industrial gas industry. By volume and value, oxygen and nitrogen are our industry’s “bread and butter” products and together represent the biggest generator of total...
The Gerhart Scale Corporation (Gerhart) (www.gerhart.com) began as an industrial scale distributor that supplied the transportation and manufacturing sectors. For the industrial gas sector, Gerhart’s scales service highway- and plant-located truck scale systems for merchant bulk weight and fill control systems for...
PCI (www.pcigases.com), a Californiabased on-site industrial gas manufacturer, was founded in 1984 to manufacture cryogenic air separation devices for operation in extreme and remote environments. Since then, PCI has continually expanded its technology platforms to include nitrogen membrane systems and Vacuum Swing Adsorption...
The idea of nitrogen refrigeration systems in trucks is not new. The Polarstream refrigerated truck was put on the market in 1961 by the Linde Division of Union Carbide and was also used by the British Oxygen Company.
