Industrial Bulk and Microbulk Gases

Bulk & Microbulk Gas Systems

When dealing with industrial gases, the efficiency of supply and management plays a crucial role in operational success. Meritus Gas Partners delivers optimized gas solutions through advanced bulk and microbulk gas systems. This approach provides a reliable and uninterrupted gas supply for businesses with high gas consumption.

Understanding Industrial Bulk and Microbulk Gas

Industrial bulk and microbulk gases provide scalable solutions for storing and delivering essential gases in various industries. Here are some differences between the two services.

Bulk gas refers to the delivery and storage of large quantities of liquefied gases in on-site tanks, ranging from 13,000 gallons (49,210 liters) for high-volume users to 1,500 gallons (5678 liters) for businesses with moderate gas consumption. These gases are stored in large, cryogenic tanks and used in industries requiring continuous, high-volume gas usage. 

Benefits of using bulk gas systems include:

  • Uninterrupted supply: Bulk systems provide a continuous gas flow, keeping your operations running smoothly.
  • Cost savings: Bulk gas purchases generally translate to lower gas costs per unit than traditional cylinders.
  • Reduced labor: Eliminates the need for frequent cylinder changes and associated labor costs.
  • Enhanced safety: Bulk gas supply minimizes the risks of handling high-pressure cylinders.

Microbulk gas supply provides an intermediate solution between traditional gas cylinders and bulk gas storage. They are smaller versions of bulk tanks, typically ranging from 132 to 1,320 gallons (500 to 5,000 liters). 

Advantages of microbulk gas systems include: 

  • Cost-effective: While not as economical as bulk gas, microbulk offers significant cost savings compared to cylinders.
  • Improved safety: Lower operating pressures compared to cylinders minimize safety risks.
  • Space saving: Microbulk tanks use less floor space than storing numerous gas cylinders.

Types of Industrial Gases Available

Meritus Gas Partners supplies a wide range of gases to meet the diverse needs of various industries.

Common Bulk Industrial Gases

Some common industrial gases we offer include:

  • Argon: Used in welding, electronics and lighting industries.
  • Carbon dioxide: Essential in the beverage industry for carbonation.
  • Helium: Critical in medical imaging (MRI machines) and research.
  • Hydrogen: Applied in refining, chemical production and as a clean energy source.
  • Nitrogen: Commonly used in food packaging, chemical manufacturing and electronics.
  • Oxygen: Vital for medical use, wastewater treatment and supporting combustion in industrial processes.

Specialized Gas Mixtures

Custom gas mixtures can be formulated by combining various gases in precise ratios. These mixtures can enhance performance, safety and efficiency in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, environmental testing and advanced manufacturing. 

Custom gas mixtures offer benefits such as precise control over chemical reactions, improved product quality and compliance with industry standards.

Bulk and Microbulk Gas Systems

Meritus Gas Partners provides robust solutions for bulk and microbulk gas systems.

Bulk Supply Systems

Bulk supply systems consist of large cryogenic tanks and associated components, such as pressure regulators, meters and vaporizer units (for converting liquefied gases to gas), designed to store and deliver industrial gases efficiently. 

These systems include advanced monitoring and telemetry systems to facilitate uninterrupted supply. Meritus Gas Partners offers complete installation and ongoing maintenance services, enabling systems to operate efficiently and adhere to safety regulations.

Microbulk Gas Systems

Microbulk gas systems are designed to offer the benefits of bulk gas storage in a smaller, more manageable form. These systems feature compact tanks, telemetry for remote monitoring and efficient filling processes.
