LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., May 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE: APD), a world-leading industrial gases company, makes its debut today at IE Expo China 2017, Asia's largest environmental trade fair. Demonstrating its strong commitment to helping China's manufacturing industry achieve energy savings, emission reductions and sustainable development, the company is showcasing its gas application solutions for environmental protection and monitoring at the tradeshow.

Guided by the Chinese government's green growth roadmap in the country's 13th Five-Year Plan, China's manufacturing industry has been moving towards more environment-friendly operating models. To accelerate the industrial green transformation and upgrading, many manufacturers are relying on advanced technologies and solutions to achieve their environmental targets.

At this year's IE Expo China, cutting-edge technologies and latest solutions for environmental protection and pollution control are presented at eight pavilions under four key themes—water, waste, air and soil. At booth W3770 in the water pavilion, visitors will find Air Products showcasing its range of Halia® gas application technologies for water and wastewater treatment. Already widely used in industrial and municipal water treatment projects around the world, the robust modular Halia® solutions enable higher flexibility and efficiency at a lower cost by combining the benefits of pure oxygen aeration, and ozone and advanced oxidation, with high mass transfer technology.

Air Products' total solutions for emissions control and environmental monitoring for a variety of industries are also featured at the booth, including:

  • Oxy-fuel/oxy-enrich solutions: As an industry leader in oxy-fuel combustion, Air Products helps industries such as glass, non-ferrous and cement/lime manufacturing effectively reduce emissions, among which nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions can be lowered by more than 80% for glass manufacturing.
  • Cryo-Condap® technology: This process helps refrigerator recycling, coating lines, chemical and pharmaceutical industries achieve effective VOC (volatile organic compound) recovery.
  • BIP® built-in gas purification technology: This innovative technology provides accurate and reliable analysis results for environmental monitoring together with Air Products' high purity/ultra-high purity gases and standard gas mixtures.
