reliable gas supply for your refinery needs
- hydrogen is widely used in refining processes to remove impurities found in crude oil such as sulfur to meet stringent product and environmental specifications. removing these components allows gasoline and diesel to burn cleaner and thus makes hydrogen a critical component in the production of cleaner fuels needed by efficient internal combustion engines.
- oxygen enrichment can help increase capacity or give refiners the ability to process crude blends of various densities and sulfur content.
- nitrogen does not react with most materials, making it an excellent blanketing and purging gas that can be used to protect valuable products from harmful contaminants. one of its most important uses is to eliminate flammability risks in reactor vessels and storage tanks.

gases
air products gases, typically provided in gaseous and liquid form, enable customers in a wide range of industries to improve their environmental performance, product quality, and productivity.
hydrogen
valued for its reactive and protective properties, and used by many industries such as electronics, foods, glass, chemicals, refining and more can benefit from its unique properties to improve quality, optimize performance and reduce costs.
nitrogen
useful as a gas, for its inert properties, and as a liquid for cooling and freezing. virtually any industry can benefit from its unique properties to improve yields, optimize performance and make operations safer.
oxygen
in addition to its use as a respiratory gas for healthcare applications, its strong oxidizing properties benefit many industries by improving yields, optimizing performance, lowering costs and reducing carbon footprint compared to other fuels.
apex temporary gas supply
for over 40 years, customers have relied on air products express services (apex) for safe, reliable and fast emergency or temporary h₂, n₂, or o₂ gas supply. apex services can be used during plant turnarounds, or start-ups to maintain current operations or to bring the plant back on line quickly and safely. when a refinery’s regular gas supply source is unavailable or to supplement existing gas supply during periods of peak demand to boost profitability contact air products apex services.
