Products

Oxygène industriel et médical

Production et livraison d'oxygène liquide et gazeux pour applications industrielles et hospitalières.

Messer Canada produces and distributes industrial and medical oxygen in liquid and gas form, from its Canadian air separation units. Gas is delivered in bulk (cryogenic trucks), high-pressure cylinders, multi-cylinder packs, or produced directly at customer sites through on-site installations. Industrial oxygen is used for steel and metallurgy (furnace enrichment), chemicals and petrochemicals (oxidation processes), wastewater treatment, pulp and paper (bleaching), aquaculture, glass and power generation. Medical oxygen meets Health Canada's strict requirements and supplies hospitals, clinics, pre-hospital services and home healthcare. Production follows high purity standards (up to 99.5 % and above depending on application) and rigorous quality protocols: raw material control, unit validation, full traceability and regular testing against Canadian and international standards. Benefits include: delivery solutions tailored to each consumption profile, 24/7 supply reliability, regulatory compliance for medical use, application expertise to optimize industrial processes, and decarbonization options thanks to the energy efficiency of Messer installations — a meaningful long-term value driver for industrial and healthcare buyers.

Azote liquide et gazeux

Azote pour inertage, congélation cryogénique, et traitement thermique.

Nitrogen is one of the most versatile industrial gases distributed by Messer Canada. It is produced in air separation units and offered in bulk liquid (cryogenic deliveries), high-pressure cylinders and through on-site installations (membrane, PSA, cryogenic) depending on customer volumes. Main applications include: tank and pipeline inerting in oil and gas and chemicals, cryogenic freezing and modified-atmosphere preservation in food and beverage, cooling and processing in pharmaceuticals and biotech, heat treatments (annealing, quenching) in metallurgy, welding and brazing under controlled atmosphere, and laboratory testing. Nitrogen purity can reach 99.999 % for the most demanding applications, with quality controls and full traceability. On-site installations let customers produce nitrogen directly at their plant, reducing logistics costs and improving supply predictability. Benefits include: broad range of purities and delivery modes, expertise in complex industrial applications, on-site capability for high-consumption customers, on-site technical support, and integrated storage-and-distribution solutions — ideal to optimize long-term operating costs for industrial buyers across Canada.

Argon et mélanges de soudage

Argon de haute pureté et mélanges Stargon pour soudage MIG/TIG.

Messer's argon and welding mixtures are at the heart of MIG, TIG, plasma and laser welding operations in Canadian industry. High-purity argon is used pure or blended with carbon dioxide, helium, oxygen or hydrogen, depending on the targeted materials and processes. Messer's Stargon range includes mixtures optimized for different steels (carbon, stainless, alloy), aluminum, copper and specialty alloys. Each mixture is tuned for the best bead quality, productivity and arc stability. Cylinders are available in multiple sizes with full traceability and an efficient container management system. Users include metal fabrication, shipbuilding, automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, oil and gas and specialty welding shops. Messer supports customers in selecting the optimal mixture and tuning welding parameters. Benefits include: improved weld quality, higher welding productivity, fewer defects and rework, longer consumable life, and application expertise to optimize total welding cost. For welders and fabricators, Messer acts as a reference technical and logistics partner — a meaningful lever to push throughput and quality at the same time.

Hydrogène industriel

Hydrogène pour raffineries, métallurgie et mobilité décarbonée.

Messer Canada supplies industrial hydrogen to customers in petrochemicals, chemicals, metallurgy, glass, electronics and, increasingly, low-carbon mobility. Hydrogen is delivered in bulk liquid, high-pressure cylinders, tube trailers or produced on site via on-site installations sized to the customer. Classic industrial applications include: hydrocracking and hydrodesulfurization in refineries, hydrogenation of oils and fats in food processing, metallurgical heat treatments (reducing atmospheres), semiconductor manufacturing and float glass production. Emerging applications include hydrogen mobility (trucks, buses) and low-carbon power generation. Hydrogen purity can reach the highest levels required by electronics and fuel cells, with strict quality controls and full traceability. Messer supports customers in designing storage, distribution and safety installations. Benefits include: supply capacity at multiple scales, proven industrial application expertise, support to the energy transition toward green or blue hydrogen, world-class safety, and technical support for low-carbon mobility projects.

Services

Installations sur site (on-site)

Conception, installation et opération d'unités de séparation d'air directement chez le client.

Messer Canada's on-site installations service lets high-consumption customers produce their industrial gases (oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen) directly at their own site, via a dedicated production unit installed and operated by Messer. The typical process starts with a detailed needs analysis (volumes, purity, consumption profile, site constraints), followed by selection of the optimal technology: cryogenic for very high volumes, PSA (pressure swing adsorption) or membranes for medium volumes. Messer handles design, engineering, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance and regulatory compliance. Target sectors include large steel mills, refineries, chemical plants, pulp and paper producers, high-capacity wastewater treatment units and selected major food and beverage facilities. Benefits include: significant total-cost-of-ownership reduction on high volumes, elimination of delivery logistics costs, purity and flow rates matched exactly to needs, contractually guaranteed 24/7 availability, and the option to integrate energy recovery or decarbonization solutions. For strategic industrial sites, on-site supply is often the most economical and stable long-term option — a meaningful structural decision.
