Air Products to increase production capacity at Manatee, Florida facility

Air Products will be making a significant investment to meet industry demand with increased winding capacity at its LNG equipment manufacturing facility located in Port Manatee, Florida. Air Products expects that this increase in capacity, coupled with new proprietary innovations in fabrication methods, will enable Air Products to improve equipment delivery schedules. Winding is a fabrication process for the internal components of coil-wound heat exchangers in which layers of tubes are wound around a central mandrel. This investment will increase Air Products’ manufacturing capacity by almost 20 percent. This is on top of a previous expansion completed in 2019 that increased the facility’s original capacity by 60 percent. Known for reliability and efficiency, Air Products’ liquefaction process technologies and equipment are used to produce a majority of the total worldwide LNG.
