2. Supply Mode
2.3 Bulk
If your operations require a large steady flow of gases (exceeding 10,000m³ per month), our bulk distribution and storage solutions will meet your needs. We offer safe and reliable industrial grade bulk products (Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon, and Hydrogen) which are produced and liquefied in our plants and delivered directly to customers’ cryogenic liquid storage vessel by insulated cryogenic trucks. Our expertise extends to the installation, maintenance and monitoring of liquefied gas storage systems. We offer safe and reliable bulk systems, with a robust supply chain, that enable us to deliver in a range of sizes and flow capacities which meet the needs of many industries.
2.3.1 Vacuum Insulated Evaporators (VIE)
Vacuum Insulated Evaporators (VIE) are cryogenic storage tanks, which are designed primarily for the storage and distribution of liquefied gasses, such as liquid Argon, liquid Nitrogen and liquid Oxygen. It is a compact, self-contained automatic system which serves as a central supply of gas into a customer's piping system. Gases are stored at our production facilities in liquid phase and delivered directly to our customer in insulated cryogenic tanks. The product can either be withdrawn as a liquid or vaporized into the local distribution system in its gaseous form.

2.3.2 Micro Bulk
The Micro Bulk offer is an all-in-one air gas cryogenic vessel with an integrated storage and supply system. It is most suitable for customers with high pallet usage in a single spot, ranging from 500 m³ to 100,000 m³ per month. The Micro Bulk storage system is able to accommodate pressure requirements of up to 450 psi. Air Liquide delivers the liquid safely, conveniently and effectively via dedicated Cryo Service trucks.
Micro Bulk solutions are ideal for businesses with growing demands for industrial gases. Conversion from cylinder to Micro Bulk supply will simplify your operations as follows:
- Reduce gas handling
- No more lost or damaged cylinders
- No more cylinder changeouts
- Minimise the risk of gas stock disruption
- Save costs due to lower residual gas loss
