Air Products to invest $10M in fiber membrane production expansion

In Missouri, Air Products announced a $10 million project to significantly increase hollow fiber membrane production at its St. Louis, Missouri facility. 

The production improvement project at the facility is driven by strong customer demand in the biogas and hydrogen recovery applications, as well as customer needs for the use of nitrogen for the aerospace industry and dehydration products.
This capacity improvement effort will impact product lines such as the PRISM GreenDry membrane dryer and the PRISM GreenSep membrane separator, which provide customers in the biogas industry with dehydration and upgrading solutions that add design flexibility to a customer’s biogas system. The project also increases the production of PRISM N2Sep membranes, which are the foundation of Air Products’ recently announced PRISM InertPro Membrane System, a new nitrogen generator for the energy and gas industry that is optimized with a flexible modular design to focus on efficiency and lower energy nitrogen generation.
