LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Air
Products (NYSE: APD) will feature its newest technologies that can
help a variety of industries increase quality and efficiency,
improve safety and lower overall operating costs at the CHEM SHOW
in New York City from November 1-3. Visit www.airproducts.com/chemshow
for a short preview.
Among Air Products' featured offerings are:
- The PRISM® Hydrogen Generator for cost-effective and reliable
on-site generation of volumes from 2,000 scfh up to more than
10,000 scfh. Based on advanced proprietary technology, PRISM
hydrogen generators are the most efficient generators on the market
today, having the highest turn down and consuming the least amount
of natural gas. These generators provide a consistent supply of
high-purity hydrogen for a wide variety of applications not only in
chemical processing, but also in metals treatment, steel, glass,
photovoltaic, food, power generation and hydrogen fueling
industries.
- The Cryogenic Hydrogen Compressor (CHC), which is a proprietary
liquid hydrogen supply system that instantly matches changing
production needs, resulting in reduced operating costs and minimum
downtime. Designed for industrial producers requiring high-pressure
hydrogen, such as chemical and refinery manufacturers, the unique
CHC technology is load-following, which means its output closely
matches process demand patterns. While running continuously, the
system supplies the flow rate needed by the process at any given
time, helping to minimize vent losses in the system and making the
technology more efficient than traditional liquid hydrogen
pumps.
- The PolarFit™ Ultra-Fine-Grinding Mill for cost-effective
reduction of hard-to-grind materials to smaller particle sizes than
can be achieved with conventional impact mills. This unique
grinding system uses a combination of size reduction mechanisms --
including impact, attrition and particle-particle collision -- to
generate consistent yields of particles between 45 and 240 microns,
and in some cases as small as 10 microns. The mill is ideal for
cryogenic size reduction of a wide range of materials, including
pigments, plastics, powder coatings, thermoplastic elastomers,
waxes, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, spices and other food
products.
Air Products also will share "Best Practices in Nitrogen
Blanketing for Safety and Quality" at 10:40
a.m. on Thursday, November 3,
as part of the AIChE Northeast Regional Conference session on
Process Plant Safety.
"As a chemical industry leader in both safety and cryogenic
applications, Air Products works closely with customers to
understand their specific operations and applications," said
Nancy Easterbrook, applications
manager for the Chemical Processing and Pharmaceutical industries
at Air Products. "This enables us to help our customers implement a
nitrogen blanketing system that meets their safety and quality
requirements while minimizing their capital costs and operating
expenses."
In addition, Air Products will present "Hydrogen: Innovative
Solutions" at the Exhibitor Product Technology Theater (900 Aisle)
on Wednesday, November 2, at
1:00 p.m. As the world's leading
hydrogen supplier, Air Products has the hydrogen supply and
technology solutions to meet the needs of a number of industries
such as electronics, foods, glass, chemicals, refining and
more.
