The company
Messer is one of the leading industrial gas compa-nies, and is active in over 30 countries in Europeand Asia, as well as Peru, with over 60 operatingcompanies. The international activities are managedfrom Frankfurt am Main, whilst management ofcore technical functions – logistics, engineering,production and application technology – is under-taken from Krefeld. In 2010, 5,288 employees generated consolidated sales of € 909 million.
From acetylene to xenon, the Messer Group hasone of the most diverse product portfolios on themarket – the company produces industrial gasessuch as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide,hydrogen, helium, shielding gases for welding, specialty gases, medical gases and many differentgas mixtures.
The Messer Group has state-of-the-art research andcompetence centers in which it develops appliedtechnologies for the use of gases in almost everysector of industry, in food technology, medicine aswell as research and science.

Separating air to produce gases.
What is air?
Air is a mixture of gases, consisting primarily
of nitrogen (78 %), oxygen (21 %) and the
inert gas argon (0.9 %). The remaining 0.1 %
is made up mostly of carbon dioxide and the
inert gases neon, helium, krypton and xenon.
And what is air separation?
Air can be separated into its components by
means of distillation in special units. So-called air
fractionating plants employ a thermal process
known as cryogenic rectification to separate the
individual components from one another in order
to produce high-purity nitrogen, oxygen and argon
in liquid and gaseous form.
Compression of air
Ambient air is drawn in, filtered andcompressed to approx. 6 bar by a compressor.
Precooling of air
To separate air into its components,it must first be liquefied at an extremely lowtemperature. As a first step, the compressedair is precooled with chilled water.
Purification of air
Impurities such as water vapour andcarbon dioxide are then removed from the airin a so-called molecular sieve.
Cooling of air
Because the gases which make up aironly liquefy at very low temperatures, the puri-fied air in the main heat exchanger is cooled toapprox. -175 °C. The cooling is achieved by
Oxygen Nitrogen Argon

Products
Separation of air
Separation of air into pure oxygen and pure nitrogen is performed in twocolumns, the medium-pressure and the low-pressure columns. The difference in boilingpoint of the constituents is exploited for theseparation process. Oxygen becomes a liquidat -183 °C and nitrogen at -196 °C.The continuous evaporation and condensationbrought about by the intense exchange ofmatter and heat between the rising steamand the descending liquid produces purenitrogen at the top of the low-pressurecolumn and pure oxygen at the bottom.Argon is separated in additional columns andinvolves some extra steps in the process.
Withdrawal and storage
Gaseous oxygen and nitrogen are fedinto pipelines for transport to users,e.g. steelworks. In liquid form, oxygen,
nitrogen and argon are stored in tanks andtransported to customers by tanker lorries.
Oxygen supply
Nitrogen supply
means of internal heat exchange, in which the flows of cold gas generated during the process cool the compressed air. Rapid reduction of the pressure then causes thecompressed air to cool further, whereby itundergoes partial liquefaction. Now the air isready for the separating column, where theactual separation takes place.

Pipeline gases
In integrated industrial areas with a large number of bulk customers, for example in steel productionor in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry,gases such as oxygen or nitrogen can be suppliedcentrally via a system of pipelines engineered andmanaged by Messer.
On-site
If it is not possible to connect a bulk customer to a pipeline system, a production unit will be built on-site, which in many cases is operated remotely.

Messer France has a specialty gases plant in Mitry-Mory, five filling plants and various CO2 productionlocations throughout France – e.g. one with a capacityof 120,000 tons per year in Lavéra – as well as two airseparation units in Beauvais and Saint Herblain wherealso an acetylene plant is. Messer France has productslices of air separation units in Strasbourg, L’Isle-d’Abeau and Toulouse.Messer France is well known for its innovative applica-tions, particularly for the food industry, and continuesto build on this strength through its state-of-the-arttechnical competence center in Mitry-Mory.
The fusion of several gas companies resulted in the creation of the company Airgaz in 1973, which purchased SIAC, France’s second-largest supplier of CO2, in 1987. In 1989, this company became awholly owned subsidiary of Messer after the Lindeholdings had been sold. Since 1997, Airgaz/SIAC has been run under the name Messer France. Theheadquarters are located in Puteaux, near Paris.

Messer Industriegase GmbH operates a state-of-the-art filling plant for technical gases in Siegen, anindustrial center for medium-sized metal workingenterprises. Gases for numerous industrial applica-tions are delivered in steel cylinders and cylinderbundles from this plant. The main areas of focus are cutting and welding, gases for a large numberof application-specific processes, medical gases and specialty gases. The comprehensive build-up of distribution partnersto supply the regional markets is gradually beingpursued from the core regions.
Messer in Germany offers the innovative 300-bartechnology for cylinder gases. This technology provides a higher content with an unchanged cylinder size and for this reason enables that thegas cylinders can be used for longer periods oftime. A new generation of valves facilitates the safe withdrawal of gases. The two air separation units in Siegen and Salzgitterprovide the company with its own production capa-cities for cryogenic liquefied gases.
