LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
April 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Air Products (NYSE:APD) will feature its range of
industrial gases, equipment, technologies and technical services
for the steel industry at AISTech 2019 in Pittsburgh, Pa., from May 6-8. With decades of experience serving the
steel industry, the company provides industrial gas-based solutions
that can help steelmakers reduce fuel consumption and carbon foot
print, increase productivity, optimize gas efficiency, and lower
overall operating costs.
Steelmakers are invited to stop by Air Products' booth 944 to
speak with an industry specialist about the challenges they face in
their daily operations. From the hot end to the rolling mill,
Air Products has the technical know-how to help identify
solutions to problems and recommend process improvements. Using
proprietary technology, the company has helped customers realize
operational cost savings in combustion, gas injection, shrouding,
heat treating and more.
Air Products offers a full range of industrial gases—including
oxygen, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide—in a variety
of cost-effective supply options. For small-volume users, its
CryoEase® microbulk solutions provide an alternative to
cylinder supply that eliminates the hassle of cylinder handling.
Large-volume users can rely on the company's traditional bulk
liquid and gas supply or on-site gas generation systems. If
short-term or emergency gas supply is needed, Air Products Express
Services delivers with speed and flexibility.
Steelmakers are also invited to attend Air Products' technical
presentation, "Combustion Applications for the Steel Industry: A
Closer Look Through an Efficiency Lens," at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 7, as part of the
Energy and Utilities Session in Room 320. The presentation will
look closely at combustion processes used in the steel industry for
process heating and power generation and identify avenues for
improving efficiency and reducing emissions. Additional steelmaking
applications where innovative technologies can help improve
efficiency will also be discussed, and the company will share a
snapshot of how smart combustion technologies can help improve
combustion efficiency and lower maintenance downtime.
AISTech attendees who stop by Air Products' booth 944 will be
helping to support the AIST Foundation. For each visitor to its
booth, the Air Products Foundation again will donate $100 (up to a total of $15,000) to the AIST Foundation, whose mission is
to ensure the iron and steel industry of tomorrow will have a
sufficient number of qualified professionals. The AIST Foundation
awards college scholarships and funds programs that attract
