Air Products will construct, operate new industrial facilities at two out-of-state locations

Trexlertown, Pa.-based Air Products and Chemicals Inc., an international corporation that sells gasses and chemicals for industrial use, plans to build, own, and operate new air separation units (ASUs) at two of its out-of-state locations.

“Now is the time to install new ASUs, which will have an even greater level of reliability, production, sustainability efficiencies and additional market growth,” said Francesco Maione, Air Products’ President, Americas.

Air Products’ new ASUs — which are industrial facilities used to separate atmospheric air into its primary components — will be built at the company’s existing Conyers, Ga., and Reidsville, N.C., locations to replace older units and provide additional capacity at both sites. The facilities are expected to be up and running in 2026, the company said in a July 17 statement.

“Conyers and Reidsville have very attractive customer markets that Air Products has served for nearly five decades,” said Maione. “The ASU assets at these locations have served Air Products very well and its customers very reliably.”

Air Products — which serves a range of customers in markets including chemicals, food, metals processing, primary materials, fabricated metals, electronics and for distributors — produces and supplies oxygen, nitrogen and argon.

Industrial gas products produced at Conyers and Reidsville will include liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon for the regional supply of the established and growing merchant markets, the company said.

Specifically, both ASU projects will enhance the sustainability, productivity, and operational flexibility of Air Products’ base industrial gas business, and continue the company’s commitment to the merchant industrial gas market.

“Air Products is committed to its terrific base industrial gas business and our commitment is evidenced by the investment in these two new ASUs,” Maione said. “We can ensure enhanced product reliability to regional customers in that these new units can act as back-ups to each other, as well as for other company facilities producing the same products in neighboring and nearby states.”
