SUPPLIER FOCUS
with its business objectives. During one such review, an opportunity was identified for Air Products to assess BHC Limited’s welding gas consumption. An Application Specialist visited the site
and carried out a comprehensive review of the welding process searching for areas to make performance, productivity and profitability improvements. During this review, Air Products identified potential gas consumption savings of at least 25% due to excess flows within the welding operation. Following the review, 120 Gastrak®
Service Economisers were installed to effectively lock the gas flow rate and optimise the level of gas being used. This had a positive impact on gas usage, weld quality and costs for BHC Limited. Visit the web page below and watch the video story. Another customer that has significantly
reduced gas consumption is SDC Trailers in Country Antrim. SDC Trailers, a leading manufacturer of components for the transport industry, has also been working with Air Products for several years. In welding operations, gas is often wasted through equipment leaks, pre-weld surge and excessive flow rates and following several discussions, the dedicated account manager for SDC Trailers proposed an on-site evaluation of the shielding gases used within the welding operation. Following the

analysis by the Application Specialist, 67 Gastrak® Service units were installed. This led to a remarkable 40% reduction in gas consumption, improved weld quality and a lower environmental footprint. Visit to web page below to view the case study in more detail. Enginovate, a manufacturer of custom
fabrications and installations, recently had the Gastrak® Service installed at its site. Josh Hickford, General Manager, says: “I’ve been working with Air Products for many years now and this is the second installation of the Gastrak® system. It’s very important to explore all possible forms of waste and look to improve on those inefficiencies. With a Gastrak® system you can reduce the amount of
unnecessarily lost gas and save on both time and cost while also increasing the repeatability of your welding procedure. Installation was swift and Air Products’ service in ensuring the product works as it should has been second to none.”
