The industrial gases industry originated in 1886, when a
London-based company began producing high-purity oxygen. Initially,
purified oxygen was a solution in search of a problem, but demand
for it soared early in the twentieth century with the emergence of
welding technology. By then, dramatic technological improvements in
air separation and purification had emerged, as had most key firms
dominating the industry today. Building on air in the decades that
followed, the firms expanded their product range and geographical
reach to create applications that were essential to every
manufacturing process in the modern world, from semiconductor
production to oil refining, waste water treatment, and
steel-making. This is the first scholarly history of this vital but
invisible industry from its origins to the present. Based on
unparalleled access to company and public archives, the book
explores business and technological development, industrial
evolution, and the industry's local roots and international and
global reach.
