LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
April 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Air Products (NYSE: APD) will highlight its range of
industrial gases and cost-efficient technologies for the steel
industry at AISTech 2015 in Cleveland,
Ohio, from May 4-6. From the
hot end to the rolling mill, Air Products provides the gases,
equipment, technologies, and technical services that can help
steelmakers reduce fuel consumption, decrease their carbon
footprint, increase productivity, optimize gas efficiency, and
lower their overall costs.
Steelmakers are invited to stop by Air Products booth 2636 to
speak with a knowledgeable representative about the challenges they
face in their day-to-day operations. Drawing from decades of
experience serving the steel industry, Air Products has the
technical know-how to help recommend process improvements and
identify solutions to problems. The company provides a variety of
technical services and gas-based technologies, such as oxy-fuel
technology, that can help steelmakers improve the performance and
efficiency of their operations.
Air Products also offers a full line of gases—including oxygen,
nitrogen, argon, and hydrogen—which the company provides in a
variety of delivery options to match each customer's requirements.
For small volume users, the company's CryoEase®
microbulk solution offers an alternative to cylinder supply that
eliminates the hassle of cylinder handling. For larger volume
customers, Air Products provides traditional bulk liquid and gas
supply, as well as PRISM® and tonnage on-site gas
generation systems. The company also offers a fast and flexible
option for short-term or emergency gas supply through its Air
Products Express Services.
For more than 70 years, Air Products has been providing the
steel industry with economical and reliable industrial gas supply.
Yesterday the company announced an agreement to supply industrial
gases to Big River Steel's green-field steel mill in Mississippi County, Ark. Under the agreement,
Air Products will operate an air separation unit that will supply
oxygen, nitrogen, and argon by pipeline to Big River Steel's new
hot rolled steel facility. In addition, Air Products will supply a
PRISM® hydrogen generator, which will also pipeline
product to the facility. All units are targeted to be onstream by
July 2016.
