You can choose from gaseous or liquid products to be delivered in bulk or carried through a pipeline.

On-Site Storage for Uninterrupted Supply 

Linde’s bulk and microbulk gas delivery systems provide a continuous supply of the gases and liquids your mining processes require. Installed at your site, Linde bulk gas supply systems replace high- pressure cylinders, reducing cylinder handling and change-outs, helping you save time and lowering your operating costs.

Continuous Supply for Sustained Safety

Linde’s reliable on-site gas supply capabilities can help you maintain site safety by allowing you to blanket mines with nitrogen, reducing oxygen content, which will ultimately keep your operation safe. Linde has specific solutions from pure gases to specialty gases and mixtures to fit your particular needs.

Enhance Lab Productivity 

The function of mining laboratories is fundamental. To meet the varied requirements of the mining industry, the service laboratory must be able to provide rapid and reliable results by handling a variety of complex analytical instruments. Linde offers comprehensive lab solutions and services you can depend on, including a full-line of high-purity analytical instrumentation and process gases for:

  • ICP/MS
  • GC/FID
  • FTIR
  • LCMS
  • AA

Our laboratory solutions go far beyond gas supply to include specialized lab evaluations performed by a Linde specialty gases representative. Linde’s lab services offer an extensive range of gas handling options that include regulators, manifolds, blending systems and delivery systems.

Our Reliable Services

In addition to our variety of gas supplies available, Linde offers a wealth of services to help you streamline your mining operation. Linde’s line of gas detection systems help you protect your personnel, workplaces and equipment by allowing you to identify toxic, flammable or asphyxiant gases and potential hazards before they become a problem.
