LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
Dec. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As
evidenced by one of the best safety records in the industrial gas
industry, Air Products (NYSE: APD) believes nothing is more
important than safety. In this spirit, the company has launched a
new microsite to help a variety of industries protect the safety of
its people and equipment, as well as maintain the quality of their
products, with nitrogen solutions for inerting, blanketing and
purging.
The new microsite compiles in one place a range of technical and
safety-related information—including videos, articles, mobile apps
and more—to assist various industries in applying the best safety
practices and selecting the optimum system for inerting, blanketing

different methods to accomplish blanketing or purging of flammable
or combustible materials and helps users choose the optimal method
to meet their specific needs while minimizing their gas usage.
In addition, Air Products can perform calculations ranging from
mixture flammability and critical oxygen concentration limits using
proprietary software to a full computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
study. With over 20 years of experience in computational chemistry,
CFD, process modeling, and optimization, the company can help
customers determine safe operational conditions and recommend a
solution to meet their needs.
Air Products offers a complete range of nitrogen supply options,
ranging from delivered liquid to on-site nitrogen generation, to
match each customer's specific requirements. The company's
engineers have the technical know-how and applications experience
necessary to recommend the most efficient and cost-effective supply
mode based on a customer's volume, pressure, purity level, flow
rate and operating pattern.
