Air Products, a specialist in liquefied natural gas (LNG) technology and equipment, recently held a ceremony to celebrate the rollout of the first completed liquefied natural gas (LNG) heat exchanger manufactured at its new production facility in Manatee County, Florida. At the conclusion of the event, the heat exchanger was transported from the Air Products facility, crossing over Route 41 directly onto the property of Port Manatee, where it will be loaded on a barge and shipped to a customer for a major liquefied natural gas project along the United States (U.S.) Gulf Coast.
âI am proud to say that no one in the world builds coil wound heat exchangers as large as we do. The largest LNG plants in the world use our technology. We needed a second manufacturing location, which would eliminate any transportation limitations regarding product size,â? said Sandy McLauchlin, general manager – LNG & CryoMachinery Engineering & Manufacturing at Air Products. âWhen we selected this site, we believed it provided us with everything we needed in an operational location. I can tell you we made a wise choice. This new facility will help us maintain our market leadership position.â?
