A BRIGHT FUTURE

SERVOMEX IG PRODUCT MANAGER DOUGLAS BARTH REVIEWS THE OPPORTUNITIES THE GLOBAL SPECIALTY MARKET OFFERS INDUSTRIAL GAS MANUFACTURERS.
VITAL TO MANUFACTURING LED PANELS, LED LIGHTS, SEMICONDUCTORS, PETROCHEMICAL AND MEDICAL GASES, THE SPECIALTY GAS MARKET CONTINUES TO GROW.
Specialty gases are high-purity gases for specific applications, and are either ultrahigh-purity single component gases or accurately prepared gas mixtures.
Specialty gases include high-purity air-separated gases, noble gases, ammonia, hydrocarbon gases, and halogen gases. These gases require rigorous chemical analysis to ensure their composition meets stringent specifications, particularly the detection of moisture and oxygen impurities that can contaminate the gas during the transportation or production process. Present in even minute ultratrace quantities, these impurities can ruin the batch production of products being produced, so rigorous analysis is required to the very lowest detection levels possible.
