We understand your concerns

Global competition, stringent environmental regulations, safety concerns, customer demands for higher value, and pressure to increase profits— these are all common challenges for today’s chemical processing industry (CPI).

Air Products understands many of the issues that you are facing. We have been providing nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen as well as applications technologies and technical support to the chemical industry for decades. But we are also a specialty chemical producer, unique among the major

industrial gas suppliers. So, we are intimately aware of issues that confront your business and what it takes to succeed. We face the same economic and regulatory pressures that you and your customers do. Like you, we are concerned about the environment and the safety of our people and the communities where we work and live.

Our approach to customer relationships is based simply on understanding your needs first. That way, we can offer the right gases, mode of supply, technologies and technical support to help you be more successful.

Air Products is capable of handling your diverse requirements and helping you:

• Maximize productivity

• Lower operating costs

• Improve environmental performance

• Enhance safety levels

• Improve product quality to meet your customers’ expectations

• Enhance reliability

• Increase return on investment

We help you get more from our gases.

Staying competitive often involves investing in new or better products, more efficient and safer work processes, or improved environmental compliance. Many chemical processes can be enhanced through gas technologies that help improve efficiency and quality, increase output or improve safety, which can result in lower total operating costs without significant additional capital. Because we manufacture specialty chemicals as well as industrial gases, we understand reaction chemistry, kinetics, mixing, and mass transfer issues that can be applied to your operations.

Gas technologies to help improve your operations
