The Challenge and Solution
A specialist for industrial, medical and specialty gases, in its quest to remain at the forefront of the gases industry, identified a pressing challenge: the increasing significance of energy efficiency. With operations demanding substantial power consumption, the focus shifted to finding compressors that could offer a higher degree of efficiency, particularly for the larger standard frame sizes. This was not just an operational requirement but a strategic move to stay ahead in a competitive market.
The quest for an optimal air separation solution at a steel plant in Belgium and a copper mill in Germany, brought the specialty gases company to Ingersoll Rand's doorstep. This was partly due to the company's positive global experience with compressors supplied by Ingersoll Rand.
Armed with high-efficiency compressors, Ingersoll Rand was positioned to offer a compelling proposal that outmatched competitors. The deciding factor for this firm was the optimum power consumption metrics of Ingersoll Rand's compressors. Coupled with a robust sales support, quality products, and competitive pricing, the choice was clear. Ingersoll Rand's MSG® product portfolio, akin to a versatile toolbox, provided the appropriate compressor frames and solutions to meet Messer's specific needs.
