Linde Gas Scores High Marks With University Sector: Innovative Gas Supply and Specialized Services Rewrite the Book on Best Practices
Share:
CLEVELAND, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Linde Gas LLC is promoting its specialized gas product expertise, HAZMAT support and safety capabilities uniquely tailored for university environments. Linde Gas has fielded a dedicated team whose market focus is university and life sciences, tapping into Linde's global resources to help university personnel better understand their gas supply situations. In collaboration with Linde's multi-disciplinary technical gas experts, colleges and universities can now take full advantage of Linde's world-class portfolio of industrial and specialty gas products and equipment, greatly simplifying how they manage their resources.
As a component of its university segment focus, Linde Gas has introduced a lecture bottle (LB) replacement program that demonstrates immediate safety and economic benefits. This program is specific to LB conversion in which Linde completes a site inventory, provides removal procedures and assistance, and replaces all future LB purchases with the environmentally friendly, returnable and refillable EcoCyl(R) -- Linde's proprietary portable specialty chemical package. In a university setting, Linde Gas eliminates the regulatory costs and substantial hazardous waste removal concerns associated with reactive and non-reactive lecture bottles. In the midst of implementation at Boston University (BU), this program is solving a complex challenge for BU by helping to resolve the 'disconnect' among its safety officers, purchasing and academic end-users.
"The Linde Gas team made time to understand the dynamics of the BU system, offering solutions for everything required for gas supply, and more," said Matt Mansfield, BU Associate Director of Lab Purchasing. "We're very pleased with the quality gas products, service and technical support Linde Gas consistently provides." To help BU understand campus-wide gas usage, volumes and safety requirements, Linde Gas conducted an end-user survey and proposed a seamless site transition plan from college to college. This also enabled Linde Gas to customize an ebusiness solution taking the University's purchasing platform to the next level -- accommodating purchasing patterns for BU's full menu of gas products and equipment, streamlining operations, increasing safety and reducing overhead.
Todd Morris, Linde Gas Manager of Specialty Gases, Chemicals and Safety Equipment commented, "Linde Gas is successfully providing comprehensive gas supply and equipment solutions to other major universities and colleges throughout the United States. We are very pleased to have expanded our relationship with Boston University to better serve their diverse needs in a new and customized way."
