Air Products expands Missouri facility to meet growing energy transition demand
Air Products Membrane Solutions has broken ground on a US$70 million expansion of its manufacturing and logistics center in Maryland Heights, near St Louis, Missouri, USA.
The investment, which is Air Products Membrane Solutions' largest ever, is driven by growing product demand in biogas and hydrogen recovery applications, as well as for the aerospace and marine industries.
“We are excited to officially break ground on this important project. This expansion builds on our commitment to be a leader in the energy transition,” said Dr Erin Sorensen, general manager, Air Products Membrane Solutions.
The new manufacturing facility is expected to be in production by the end of 2025. This expansion follows a US$10 million investment made in 2023 to increase production capacity at the current facility.
Air Products Membrane Solutions specializes in the development of hollow fiber membrane separators and systems for onsite gas generation. Air Products designs, engineers, manufactures, and markets a full portfolio of Prism membrane separators, marine systems, and engineered-to-order systems.
