Air Liquide has reached an agreement with NASA to provide nitrogen via pipeline and related operation, inspection and maintenance services to support activities at the Florida spaceport.
Under the contract, Air Liquide will provide gaseous nitrogen and operation and related services to high-pressure nitrogen and helium pipeline systems supplying government and commercial aerospace activities.
In order to meet the growing demand for nitrogen from the space industry Air Liquide is increasing its production capacity in Florida with a new Air Separation Unit to be built at Merritt Island. This plant will also provide for oxygen in healthcare, environmental and manufacturing applications.
