LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Air
Products (NYSE: APD) will feature its range of industrial gases and
supply options, as well as advanced gas technologies to help
plastics manufacturers increase process efficiency, reduce costs,
and improve product quality and safety, at NPE 2015 in Orlando, Fla., from March 23-27.
NPE attendees can stop by booth S20174 to learn about Air
Products' broad range of industrial gases―including nitrogen,
oxygen, carbon dioxide, and argon―which the company offers in a
variety of safe and reliable delivery options to economically match
each customer's specific requirements. For small-volume users, Air
Products' microbulk solution eliminates the hassle of cylinder
handling and change-out. For large-volume customers, the company
provides traditional bulk liquid and gas supply, as well as its
PRISM® on-site gas generation systems.
Air Products' technical specialists can work with plastics
manufacturers to help improve efficiency and safety in many of
their processes, including cryogenic grinding; process cooling;
inerting/blanketing for combustible dust, flammable liquid
processing, and pneumatic conveying; and gas assist molding. For
plastics manufacturers considering cryogenic grinding, the company
provides a number of solutions from consultative services to
turn-key offerings that cover everything from design to
installation of a complete cryogrinding system. Air Products has a
testing lab in Allentown, Pa.,
where the company can run product on production-scale equipment to
help plastics manufacturers determine the feasibility of using
cryogenics in their processes, quantify the cost versus benefits of
using cryogenics, and optimize cryogrinding operations.
In addition, Air Products offers computational modeling, safety
training, and engineering and consulting services during project
design, start-up, and ongoing operation. With a strong
computational modeling center, the company can help plastics
manufacturers improve their processes using Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) and other programs for the early conceptual studies
of new designs, product development, scale-up, and troubleshooting.
CFD can be particularly useful when designing inerting systems for
combustible dust protection.
