Let our expertise make your company more successful!
In integrated industrial areas with a large number of bulk customers, for example in steel production or in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, gases such as oxygen or nitrogen can be supplied centrally via a system of pipelines managed by Messer.
If it is not possible to connect a bulk customer to a pipeline system, a production unit will be built on-site, which in many cases is operated remotely.
Air separation units for:
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Argon
Cryogenic generators for:
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Membrane units for:
Nitrogen
PSA units for:
Oxygen
Nitrogen
VPSA/VSA units for:
Oxygen
Steam reformers for:
Hydrogen
With on-site facilities it is possible to extract dry compressed air.
Gases in road tankers and storage tanks
The most economically effective way to supply “medium” volumes is to transport and store them as cryogenic liquid and compressed gases in road tankers. We provide our products in insulated storage containers with vaporizers or in pressure vessels on your site.
| Argon | Carbon monoxide |
| Grieson | Oxygen |
| Helium | Nitrogen |
| Carbon dioxide | Hydrogen |
Cylinders or bundles are ideal for supplying smaller volumes of gases, especially for welding and cutting applications*.
Argon (4.6 and 4.8)
Carbon dioxide
Oxygen (2.5 and 3.5)
Nitrogen
Synthetic air
Megalas – operating gas for lasers
Fuel gases such as:
Acetylene
