LINDE Industrial Gases for Your Chemical Manufacturing Operation
Create a positive reaction with a gas supplier for the chemicals industry
It’s not just about the chemical. It’s about the reaction — the combination of independent things to create something new and innovative. At Linde, this is exactly how we work with the chemical companies we serve. We don’t just sell gases to you, we work with you to develop new ways to improve your process, meet your environmental goals and lower your production costs. We have the expertise and experience to develop, implement and operate highly reliable and efficient supply systems. And we provide the industrial gases, services, and applications that help you advance the production of your chemicals.

Industrial gases for the chemical industry
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is used as a raw material in organic and inorganic chemical production and can often replace solvents in chemical synthesis and separation processes.
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is one of the fundamental building blocks for a range of major industrial chemicals such as methanol, acetic acid, isocyanates, oxo alcohols and a host of other important chemicals.
Helium
Because it remains a gas at extremely low temperatures, helium is used to detect leaks in chemical processes and cool analytical equipment.
Hydrogen
In the chemical sector, hydrogen is primarily used to manufacture ammonia and methanol, but is also vital in the making of a wide range of other key products including aniline, cyclohexane and a range of non-edible oils, plastics, and insulation materials.
Nitrogen
Used as a pressurizing gas, nitrogen can help propel liquids through pipelines. It is also used to shield oxygen-sensitive materials from the air.
Oxygen
In its purest form, oxygen is used to produce many important chemicals such as ethylene oxide and titanium dioxide. It is also used to increase the production capacity and efficiency of oxidation processes.
linde Industrial Applications for YOUR Chemical Manufacturing OPERATION
Direct Oxygen Injection
Both liquid phase chemical oxidation and aerobic fermentation processes can achieve considerable increases in production rate using Linde’s Direct Oxygen Injection (DOI) technology.
Oxygen-Enhanced Combustion
Oxygen-enhanced combustion can be a highly cost-effective method to increase throughput and reduce emissions of by-products such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide.
Reactor Cooling
When heat release control or rapid cooling is required, our direct contact, indirect contact, and injection cooling systems may be the key to unlocking increased productivity.
VOC Treatment & Recovery
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) can be removed from gaseous process streams by cryogenic condensation; an alternative to thermal destruction &adsorption technologies.
Nitrogen Stripping
In chemical manufacturing, it is important to maintain the purity of your products. We can help remove dissolved gases and residual impurities with our nitrogen stripping systems.
Inerting & Purging
Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are the most widely used gases for inerting. For some chemical processes and plants, inerting is critical to the safety of your employees and facility.
Industrial services for the chemical industry
At Linde, we do more than provide industrial gases, supply systems and applications to the chemical industry. We work with you to optimize every step of your process. From consultation to implementation and use, we offer a range of industrial services that help you monitor and manage your gas supply and improve your processes.
LINDE SYSTEMS FOR improving your chemical process
CIRRUS® VEC System
The CIRRUS Vapor Emission Control (VEC) system provides a flexible, compact, and efficient way to minimize the atmospheric emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
CUMULUS® FTC System
The CUMULUS Fluid Temperature Control (FTC) system provides a fast and accurate cooling of heat transfer fluids. The family of CUMULUS PX models are developed for cooling temperatures down to -100 °C, depending on the model.
