Biogas upgrading membranes are gas separation systems that convert raw biogas from sources such as landfills, wastewater treatment plants, or agricultural digesters into biomethane by selectively removing carbon dioxide and other impurities, improving its energy content and enabling injection into natural gas grids or use as vehicle fuel.[1] Air Products indicates that its Missouri expansion will support membrane-based solutions for biogas and hydrogen recovery, placing biogas upgrading within the facility’s technology portfolio.[1]

Membrane nitrogen generation for aerospace applications uses gas separation membranes to produce nitrogen-enriched air used in aircraft fuel tank inerting systems and other safety-related applications where oxygen levels must be reduced to mitigate fire and explosion risks.[1] The Missouri expansion is described as supporting aerospace nitrogen, indicating production of membrane modules or systems tailored for aviation customers.[1]

Cleaner marine fuels support via gas membranes refers to membrane-based systems that help produce or condition gases and fuels used in the maritime sector, such as supplying nitrogen for inerting fuel tanks or enabling gas quality control in low-sulfur or alternative marine fuel operations.[1] The article notes that Air Products’ Missouri expansion will address cleaner marine fuels, linking membrane production to environmental improvements in shipping.[1]

Near St. Louis, Missouri (Missouri/Illinois border region)

A US$70 million expansion of Air Products’ Manufacturing and Logistics Center near St. Louis, Missouri, aimed at increasing capacity for membrane-based solutions serving biogas and hydrogen recovery, aerospace nitrogen, and cleaner marine fuels, and expected to create more than 70 new positions.
