Air Products to Build, Own and Operate New Air Separation Unit in Florida

ASU will Supply Products to Meet Continuing Growth of Space Launch Industry

Air Products (NYSE:APD), a world-leading industrial gas supplier, today announced plans to build, own and operate a new air separation unit (ASU) in the City of Cocoa, Florida. The ASU will produce liquid oxygen, nitrogen and argon. The plant is targeted to be on stream in the second half of 2028.

"The facility's ideal location will provide a clear opportunity to further enhance our support for space launch providers in Florida," said Francesco Maione, Air Products' President, Americas, Helium and Rare Gases.

All three products—liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen and liquid argon—will also be available for the regional merchant market for industries including metals processing and fabrication, medical and chemical.

Air Products has operated an ASU in Florida for over three decades in Orlando supporting the local economy with medical and industrial gases. This new ASU will further enhance the company's regional coverage.  In total, Air Products has approximately 70 ASUs across the United States.
