In an industry where safety and reliability are of critical importance, the correct regulators and valves are vital to help keep gases under control, with unwanted mixtures and accidental contaminations potentially leading to serious health...
A major component of the US industrial gas business involves the distribution of packaged gases. These include all kinds of gas products, including industrial, medical, rare, and specialty gases at variable purity levels and pressures.
We often write about the industrial gas supply chain, but this is our first feature that takes readers inside a distributorship for a day in the life of a cylinder. Middlesex Gases & Technologies generously...
Either installing or upgrading your cylinder filling plant is a significant and important investment that can not only be costly, but complex. One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to fill plants, but it’s...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the life sciences – though this only represents a very small percentage of the greater merchant market, it is an interesting and valuable area of the industry. In the life sciences...
The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project is one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world today. In southern France, no less than 35 nations are collaborating to build the world’s largest tokamak...
Turboexpanders are the heart of cryogenic process cycles everywhere, including air separation and gas liquefaction systems. At the same time, the component that is critical to those processes and is essential to trouble-free system efficiency...
From time to time the cryogenic engineer is required to design a phase separator into a piping system. To achieve performance that meets expectation requires a basic understanding of thermodynamics, cryogenic fluid flow characteristics, and...
Whether it’s heating media up or cooling it down, time is of the essence in the industrial gas industry. Companies and engineers need gases and liquid gases to be in the correct state, at the...
The traditional commercial gases business is the production or supply of gas in three supply modes and associated equipment supply and support services to end-users. This supply is, generally speaking, split into three core modes:...
