Air Products has celebrated the roll-out of the first completed LNG heat exchanger manufactured at its new production facility in Manatee County, Florida.
The company held a ceremony to mark the milestone, at the conclusion of which the heat exchanger was transported from the Air Products facility, crossing over Route 41 and directly onto the property of Port Manatee – where it will be loaded on a barge this weekend and shipped to a customer for a major LNG project along the US Gulf Coast.
