Air Products opens expanded Missouri Manufacturing and Logistics Center

This article was originally posted on Chemical Engineering Online.
Summary
Air Products has inaugurated a $70-million expansion of its Missouri Manufacturing and Logistics Center in Maryland Heights, near St. Louis. The project—Air Products Membrane Solutions’ largest single-site investment—aims to meet growing demand for membrane products used in biogas upgrading and hydrogen recovery, boosting the site’s manufacturing and logistics capacity.

How do you expect this expansion to affect supply, pricing, and adoption of membrane technologies for biogas and hydrogen recovery in North America?

Air Products (Lehigh Valley, Pa.) hosted a ribbon-cutting celebration at the new $70-million expansion of its Missouri Manufacturing and Logistics Center in Maryland Heights, near St. Louis, Missouri. The expansion, which is Air Products Membrane Solutions’ largest ever investment in a single location, is driven by growing product demand in biogas and hydrogen recovery applications, […]

In refinery off‑gas H2 recovery, our membrane stages foul early from compressor oil carryover and a few ppm H2S, so long lead times on replacement elements hurt uptime. Will this Missouri expansion shorten cartridge and skid‑spares availability for the Gulf, and what pretreatment train are you standardizing for biogas (high‑eff coalescer + H2S/mercaptan removal + siloxane polishing) to keep flux stable?

Hope the expansion actually fixes the 20+ week wait on cartridges and skid components; well, there’s your problem in most startups. For biogas and H2 recovery, are they bundling siloxane and H2S pretreatment, online purity analyzers, and hard interlocks on feed quality and compressor trips, or is that still left to the EPC?
