世界首映：空气液化型纯氦气储存设施

Air Liquide has just commissioned a large helium storage facility in Gronau-Epe in the North Rhine-Westphalia region, 120 km from Düsseldorf, Germany. This initiative will allow Air Liquide, leader of the helium worldwide market since the Airgas acquisition, to better answer its customers’ needs for a reliable and predictable helium supply.

The key challenge in helium supply is to meet customer on-time requirements, independently of the reliability of production sources, by ensuring an最佳运输延期时间to customers, while avoiding losses due to helium warm-up which can occur during transport. Air Liquide’s new storage solution addresses that challenge, by offering它的客户服务保护他们的氦气供应。

This new helium storage facility is aworld premiere。纯氦气以1300米的地下储存在大量体积，在液化空气管理的盐储层中，采用天然盐水调节储存体积。该项目已经及时执行，特别是与北莱茵 - 威斯特法伦矿业当局密切合作。

空气液化空气拥有使用腔的权利，操作设施并能够店铺in Gronau-Epe超过一年的氦气采购。氦being an inert, non-inflammable gas present in very small quantity in the air, thestorage is safe and environmentally neutral。

因此，液化空气提供a可靠和完整的氦气报价，具有战略来源，全球物流和完整的客户安装。它目前包含其氦气物流one of the largest helium ISO container fleets, each container transporting helium at -269°C - close to absolute zero - witha fully digitalized piloting由美国，欧洲，中东和亚洲的专用团队。

Françoisdarchis., Senior Vice-President and member of the Air Liquide Group Executive Committee, supervising Innovation, said:“通过利用其高技术及其工程能力，液化空气正在为其betway旗舰版下载客户提供独特可靠的氦气供应链，这考虑了他们的新用途。这项倡议是本集团开拓精神的说明，是我们以客户为中心的转型策略的完全一部分。”
