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 .
