Air Products to Highlight Oxygen Injection Technologies for Enhanced Combustion at IEEE/PCA Cement Industry Conference

LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., April 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE: APD) will highlight the company's oxygen injection technologies for enhanced combustion in cement and lime manufacturing at the 2015 IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Industry Conference in Toronto, Ontario, from April 24-27. Oxygen enrichment is a flexible, efficient, cost-effective technology that can help improve the profitability of cement and lime production.

Air Products has helped cement and lime manufacturers with all types of kilns improve their operations by implementing oxygen-enhanced combustion.
