On-site Generated Gas
Gas requirements. Optimized.
Air Products pioneered the on-site concept – for over 75 years we have been installing and innovating the technology that delivers low cost, efficient solutions for the onsite delivery of industrial gas. We are the only major industrial gas supplier that has leading technology in all areas of on-site gas generation. This enables us to offer an on-site solution with a full understanding of your requirements and with the best fit to your needs.
On-site gas production plants provide custom solutions for the exact purity, pressure, and flow requirements of your operations. Dedicated, uninterrupted supply of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and argon directly at your site delivers maximum reliability and optimization to your processes, and can reduce overall industrial gas spend, all from the flexible design and compact footprint of Air Products PRISM® systems.
Small volumes, similar to bulk supply up to large-scale requirements and from low to high purity needs, can be supplied within our range of on-site plants. Our proprietary, proven reforming, cryogenic, adsorption, and membrane technologies make us a world-leading supplier of on-site production plants and services. With support from our global Operating Service Centers and local technical teams who respond 24/7 for real time, rapid troubleshooting, Air Products keeps you running and delivers peace of mind.
Sustainability-minded customers depend on Air Products on-site gas generation plants to lower their carbon footprint, boost energy efficiency, increase throughput, enhance end product quality, and improve environmental performance. With global installations in most end-use markets, Air Products has developed and continues to execute supply systems and industry offerings designed to meet the changing needs across a spectrum of applications.
Whether you buy industrial gases under an on-site agreement or purchase the plant, you will join an extensive customer base who counts on Air Products to deliver more than just gases.

Gas Supply Options
Hydrogen
Valued for its reactive and protective properties, and used by many industries such as electronics, foods, glass, chemicals, refining and more can benefit from its unique properties to improve quality, optimize performance and reduce costs.
Nitrogen
Useful as a gas, for its inert properties, and as a liquid for cooling and freezing. Virtually any industry can benefit from its unique properties to improve yields, optimize performance and make operations safer.
Oxygen
In addition to its use as a respiratory gas for healthcare applications, its strong oxidizing properties benefit many industries by improving yields, optimizing performance, lowering costs and reducing carbon footprint compared to other fuels.
Syngas
Providing turnkey solutions to convert hydrocarbon feedstock into synthesis gas for high-value products and power.
Meeting Nitrogen Demand with Onsite Gas Production
