en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 3, Air Products held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the expansion of its Membrane Solutions manufacturing and logistics center in Maryland Heights, Missouri, with an investment of $70 million aimed at enhancing production capacity for gas separation and purification membrane systems.

According to the company, this expansion represents its largest membrane manufacturing investment at a single site, driven primarily by growing demand for membrane technology in biogas upgrading, hydrogen recovery, aviation nitrogen generation, and marine fuel applications.

The project added over 70 new positions at the site, bringing the total workforce at the Maryland Heights facility to more than 250. Products manufactured at this facility include Air Products' GreenSep membrane separators for bio-LNG production and N2Sep membrane systems for separating nitrogen from compressed air streams. The company stated that the expansion supports the growing industrial demand for on-site gas generation and gas separation technologies in the energy, transportation, and industrial processing sectors.

Prior to this announcement, Air Products has launched several large-scale manufacturing and industrial gas supply projects this year. Last month, the company announced it would build and operate multiple gas production facilities to support Samsung Electronics' new semiconductor manufacturing project in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. These facilities will supply nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and hydrogen to the semiconductor site in phases between 2028 and 2030. In May, Air Products also raised its fiscal 2026 financial outlook, citing increased on-site gas supply volumes, lower operating costs, and continued growth in semiconductor-related gas demand.
