Day of Understanding, Week of Inclusion Begins at Air Products June 7th! Air Products is one of more than 2,000 organizations that have pledged to cultivate workplaces that support open dialogue on complex, and sometimes difficult, conversations about diversity, inclusion and belonging (DIB) in an effort to move the needle toward a more just and equitable world.
What We Do: A-Z - I is for ICE CREAM! Our Freshline® liquid nitrogen freezing systems help ice cream companies freeze all sorts of refreshing treats, like ice cream sandwiches. These systems also provide ease in shaping and forming novelty frozen treats.
What We Do A-Z: H is for Hard Drives Helium is less dense than air and when used in computer hard drives, it creates less drag and turbulence, which improves speed and storage while using less power.
What We Do A-Z: G is for Glass Our oxygen helps melt glass in a way that saves energy, reduces emissions, and improves quality. Our nitrogen and hydrogen are used in the forming process to make flat glass for windows, furniture and cars. And our inert gases improve the insulating properties of windows.
What We Do A-Z F is for Fertilizer: One way fertilizer can be produced is by way of a process where hydrogen and nitrogen–two of our products—are used to make ammonia, an essential ingredient for agriculture.
Shirin O’Connor joined Air Products in September 2020 as vice president, Global Engineering, Global Procurement, and Quality / Continuous Improvement. She is responsible for the seamless alignment of the company’s global Engineering and Procurement teams, as well as its quality and continuous improvement programs, to drive high performance.
What We Do A-Z--- E is for ENERGY! Energy is a significant end market for our products and technologies. We continue to develop clean energy solutions, including hydrogen as a fuel for transportation; LNG (liquefied natural gas) technology for natural gas as an alternative fuel; bioenergy processes; and gases and materials for alternative power, among others. Meanwhile, through gasification, we supply synthesis gas (syngas) that can be turned into energy sources.
DESSERTS Our Freshline food grade gases help to extend the shelf life of dessert products, improving quality and minimizing waste. In addition, using nitrogen to cool certain food surfaces can add speed and ease to layering steps and prevent the mixing of two different food items.
Our very own Vice President, Global Engineering, Global Procurement and Quality / Continuous Improvement, Shirin O'Connor expresses how invigorating it is to work with Air Products and how "our employees make things happen, are solution driven, energetic and fully committed to our vision to grow."
C is for Chicken!
