Argon demand has been strong over the past year with key markets showing robust growth as the US economy comes out of recession. Production of argon is dependent on large volume oxygen production at air separation units (ASUs). Unfortunately, demand...
gasworld’s second visit to South America saw around 150 delegates gather from across the globe. The event proved a prominent platform for the region in which participants discussed the key success factores for sustaining growth.
Global Thermostat LLC (GT) (www.global thermostat.com) was formed in 2006 to develop and commercialize a unique technology for the direct capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and other sources. The GT process “co-generates” carbon capture with other industrial processes—such as power...
The demand for hydrogen (H2) is rapidly increasing in chemical and petrochemical industries due to the continued growth in demand for low sulfur fuels and to support unconventional oil sands development. Increased demand for hydrogen, while good for the industrial gas...
