(APD) announced that it has been elected to supply its heat exchanger technology to Shell’s floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Australia. According to Air Products, Shell&#8217;s project will use its cryogenic coil wound LNG heat exchanger. It did not provide details of financial terms or the project’s planned start-up date. Shell&#8217;s floating LNG (FLNG) plant, the first of its kind in the world, will be in the Browse Basin off the northwest coast of Western Australia.

		<description><![CDATA[Air Products &#38; Chemicals Inc. (APD) intends to launch its new PolarFit ultra-fine-grinding mill at PTX Canada in Toronto starting from June 21 to June 23. The new PolarFit ultra-fine-grinding mill offers advance technology while providing a cost-effective way to reduce hard-to-grind materials to smaller particle sizes that can be achieved with conventional impact mills. The new grinding system can produce consistent yields of particles between 45 and 250 microns and in some cases as small as 10 microns, to best suit the individual customer needs. The new mill eliminates the need for Air Products ultra-fine-grinding mill, which uses a combination of size reduction mechanisms, including impact, attrition and particle-particle collision, to achieve much smaller particle sizes than other mills. Through its efficient use, Air Products mill can improve product ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Praxair Inc.’s (PX) Chinese subsidiary installed its NCOOL cryogenic heat exchanger system at a Shanghai Pharmaceutical (Group) Ltd. unit. It employs Praxair’s patented NCOOL cryogenic heat exchanger system in a pharmaceutical freeze dryer. Praxair’s highly efficient nitrogen-based system replaces its mechanically refrigerated freeze dryer with a system that is environmentally safer, more reliable and has greater processing capability. By utilizing the cooling value of ultra-cold liquid and gaseous nitrogen, the NCOOL system eliminates reliance on compressors and halogenated coolants (CFCs or other ozone-depleting substances). The system is used for precision cooling and temperature control of production lyophilizers, chemical reactors and other critical fluid cooling applications. Based on the promising future prospects of liquid nitrogen cooling of pharmaceutical freeze dryers, Praxair (China) Investment Co. Ltd signed its first contract to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Green, Oxford Club Investment Director You can’t blame most market investors for being nervous… The stock market has done a belly flop. Real estate keeps tumbling. The economy remains weak. Jobless claims recently hit a 26-year high. Investors have pulled tens of billions of dollars out of stocks and plunked it in the bank. We are optimistic, nonetheless. Why? Because the bad news is already reflected in current stock prices. Valuations are attractive. Negative sentiment is a bullish signal, not a bearish one. And all that cash sitting on the sidelines is actually a good thing. This month we’ll look at why. We’ll also highlight a world-class biotech firm that will allow you to take advantage of one of the most attractive buying opportunities in almost two decades. ]]></description>

Most are hunkering down, laying off workers, and closing factories. So how is it that a few CEO’s manage not just to survive a recession, but are actually able to grow and expand their businesses? To try to answer that question, we can take a look at a good example: Praxair (NYSE:PX), a dominant player in the specialty gases sector.
