Cryogenic/Non-Cryogenic Bulk

Air Products South Africa is one of the largest merchant industrial gas producers in Southern Africa. Air Products has, through skilled resources and global technological capabilities, been able to provide high quality service, matched with an excellent diverse product portfolio, to maintain its innovative approach to providing gas solutions.

 

Supply and Storage

A standard liquid storage facility consists of a cryogenic tank, vapouriser and controls which are selected in accordance with the usage rate and pressure.

 

The liquid product is transported via Air Products’ bulk road tankers to the customer’s site, as and when required. The investment in new technology ensures increased efficiencies as maximum payloads are created when delivering product to customer sites.

 

Bulk quantities of hydrogen are shipped in tube trailers and stored on site at customer locations. Customer gas consumptions and deliveries are fully managed by our Bulk Distribution forecasting system.

Air Products offers supply and storage to customers in all regions of South Africa as well as cross-border to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries.
