Welcome to our April issue, which casts a critical eye over that mainstay of industrial gas production, air gases. It has been an interesting 12 months. The story of air separation units (ASUs), which make most of the world’s air gases, is one that’s tied up with energy – its cost and its sourcing. That’s because ASUs are huge uses of electrons, around the clock and all over the world. So even if the ASU tech that separates out air gases is stable and well-understood and generally predictable, the energy side of the equation is anything but.
Molly Burgess speaks to TOMCO’s Jeff Holyoak about the changing dynamics in dry ice, with signs of more companies favoring on-site, small-scale production
One of the most notable advances in recent years when it comes to air gases is the opportunity to drive greater efficiencies with the latest real-time sensors and with data-driven self-learning tech.
Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH region) as well as the UK are lagging behind in the transition to Industry 4.0 technologies and embracing data-driven strategies, according to a report from IT consultancy MHP and Ludwig...
Of all the applications for air gases in relation to the decarbonisation drive, one especially promising avenue of research has recently begun a three-year pilot in Finland.
