Gas Supply & Process Support Services to Support Heat Treatment

High-quality Gas Supply Equipment Regularly Maintained by Skilled Personnel

We supply the full range of industrial and specialty gases and mixes required for heat treatment processes (from nitrogen through helium to acetylene and more). Thanks to our global production and delivery capabilities, we are in a position to offer customers security of supply, timely deliveries and consistently high levels of service quality. We tailor our delivery mode and supply systems - always designed to the highest safety standards - to the exact requirements of your heat treatment process.

For low volumes, we supply compressed industrial gases in cylinders or bundles. For higher volume requirements, liquefied gases in a tank with an evaporator system are more suitable. We supply tanks in a range of sizes and configurations. On-site gas production solutions could be a more flexible, cost-effective route for even higher volume needs. For ease of management, our ACCURA^®, SECCURA^® and DIGIGAS^® services can help you simplify and automate your gas handling and replenishment processes.

In addition, we can provide you with atmosphere control solutions, mixing systems and injectors to deliver the gas mixture you need at the point of use. You can also rely on our skilled team for regular maintenance of your gas installation.

Reaching Beyond Gases and Equipment to Bring You Process Support

Complementing our tailored gas supply concepts and dedicated hardware and equipment, we also work closely with our customers and partners on a daily basis to solve process and equipment challenges in heat treatment.

If you are planning a new furnace, our experienced consultants will help you find the best gas supply solution for your needs while exploring ways of optimizing all steps in your production flow. Our end-to-end offering spans everything from sizing and component sourcing to measurement, control and analysis tools. Building on our understanding of all common furnace types (including mesh belt, cast link, roller hearth, pusher, bell, vacuum, pit and rotary hearth models, chamber, sealed quench and retort models), our experts are familiar with all typical heat treatment atmospheres. Our mission is to put this expertise to work for you, starting with an analysis of your process and furnace atmosphere, and drawing on these insights to identify areas offering upside efficiency potential. In some regions, our furnace gas analysis service includes temperature uniformity surveys (TUS) and system accuracy tests (SAT). Working closely with you, we then run demo tests and feasibility studies to quantify your potential gains.

And if you are looking to upgrade an existing gas supply system, our experts would also be happy to support you - every step of the way. Our service portfolio includes advice on the most suitable industrial gases, concept development, professional project execution and hardware start-up at your site.

Rounding out our process consulting offering, we also offer various safety services and can even help to obtain the necessary permits. Typical services include safety inspections, audits, safety seminars and training courses, hazard safeguards and general maintenance. Our comprehensive training programs can be tailored to your individual needs, covering topics such as the specific properties and impacts of the heat treatment gases you use, the benefits of inerting and atmosphere control, and safety protocols.
