What Are Industrial Gases and Why Do They Matter?

Industrial gases are all around us, even if we rarely see them.

Oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and many other gases play an essential role in modern industry. From manufacturing and metal fabrication to food production, healthcare, electronics and countless other applications, industrial gases help keep processes running safely and efficiently.

Why Are Industrial Gases Important?

Different gases perform very different jobs.

They can be used to create controlled atmospheres, support combustion, cool and freeze products, protect materials during manufacturing, provide inert environments, enable welding and cutting processes, and much more.

Behind these applications, however, there is another challenge:

The gas needs to be safely stored, controlled, filled and delivered where it is needed.

That requires the right equipment, engineering and process control.

Who Uses Industrial Gases?

Industrial gases are used across an enormous range of industries: from steel, automotive and engineering to food & beverage and advanced manufacturing.

And whether the final product is supplied in a single cylinder, pallet or bundle/pack, the filling process needs to be safe, reliable and productive.

What Has IGPH Got to Do with It?

Industrial gases are at the heart of what we do.

Across the IGPH Group, we design, engineer and manufacture equipment and complete filling solutions covering the process from the outlet of the storage vessel through to the filled cylinder.

Our portfolio includes:

• Cryogenic pumps
• Vaporisers and gas heaters
• Line safety manifolds and buffer control systems
• Manual, automatic, mass flow and gravimetric filling modules
• Cylinder, pallet, trolley, bundle/pack and linear filling stations
• High-pressure valves and manifolds
• Filling hoses and cylinder connectors
• Integrated filling control and automation systems

Depending on the application, our solutions can be supplied as individual components, packaged equipment or fully integrated filling systems; including fixed and containerised plants.

Through technologies such as the AiFill control system, we can also integrate filling operations with compressors, analysers, purifiers and other plant equipment to help customers improve control, productivity and reliability.
