Air Products provides a wide range of products and services for
the successful design, construction, start-up, and operation of an
LNG facility. Its efficient liquefaction processes and equipment
include mega-trains, multiple small trains, modular designs,
designs suitable for offshore service (FLNG), and processes for a
broad array of feedgas compositions and ambient conditions.
Conference attendees are invited to stop by Air Products' stand
S240 to speak with an industry specialist about its highly
efficient, cost-effective process cycles and main cryogenic heat
exchange equipment, which is the heart of an LNG facility. Air
Products manufactures coil wound heat exchangers at its Port
Manatee equipment manufacturing facility in Florida, where the company recently announced
plans to increase manufacturing capacity by over 50 percent. With
ready access to port services, the facility allows the company to
manufacture LNG heat exchangers in the wide range of sizes demanded
by the market. Additionally, as the use of LNG continues to
increase around the world with strong energy demands in growing
economies, the announced facility expansion will enable Air
Products to continue delivering best-in-class equipment and
technology that exceeds customer expectations in terms of
performance and efficiency.
Air Products' industry specialists will discuss the following
