Specialists Will Discuss Capabilities at PPIM Conference in Houston

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Feb. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Linde LLC will be showcasing its broad range of plant turnaround, MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) and pipeline service capabilities at this year's Pipeline Pigging & Integrity Management (PPIM) Conference to be held at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston, Texas, February 27 - March 2, 2017, booth #1024.

"Linde's turnkey industrial services offer a quick, cost-effective way to safely and accurately meet plant and pipeline service needs," said Leslie Waller, Head of Chemistry, Energy and Environment Industry. "Our services range from testing, pigging and drying to leak detection and plant turnarounds."

Linde recently expanded its Industrial Nitrogen Services business into the Gulf Coast from a new facility located in Texas, complementing its Northeast capabilities located in Pennsylvania. "These two locations allow Linde to provide services to customers in the two major areas of activity in the U.S. – gas production in the Northeast and gas processing and refining in Texas and Louisiana," Waller said.

For plant turnaround, MRO services and pipeline projects, Linde offers an industry leading nitrogen plant position with its vast network of air separation plants across the U.S., along with high-rate nitrogen pumper trucks, 4,000-gallon nitrogen mini transport trucks and 16,000-gallon nitrogen portable storage vessels. "This capability allows Linde to support projects of any size in any terrain or any industrial environment, creating an efficient and cost-effective solution," Waller said.

"The cost effective technologies we are developing come with a set of unique advantages," said Naveed Aslam, Head of Chemistry & Environmental Application Technology for Linde Americas.
