BOC Case Studies
Read our case studies to discover more about our industry-leading capabilities and how we have used this expertise to help customers.
- BOC has built and now operates the UK’s first open-access, 350/700 bar hydrogen refuelling station in Swindon. Developers and operators of hydrogen vehicles can register to fill up their vehicles at this state-of-the-art facility, situated within easy reach of London, the Midlands and Wales. Read more about BOC's hydrogen refuelling station
- An underground fire in a landfill site near Dublin resisted the best efforts of fire crews to extinguish it. Quick and innovative thinking from BOC enabled the fire to be quenched and the threat of a major environmental incident avoided. Read more about how BOC used nitrogen purging to extinguish the fire
- The honeybee is in crisis. Colonies are disappearing at an alarming rate and the varroa parasite is the most likely culprit. Bee experts know that hygienic colonies have a better chance of survival. By helping the University of Sussex Laboratory of Apiculture and Social Insects (LASI) use liquid nitrogen to arrest the spread of disease, BOC is playing a key role in encouraging bee hygiene and saving the world’s most vital crop-pollinator Read more about how the use of liquid nitrogen is helping to save bees
- The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is responsible for 120 prisons across England and Wales. Of these, about 14 have workshops where prisoners gain skills that will help them improve their prospects on release. To teach welding and fabrication effectively, knowledge of the latest equipment and safety awareness is crucial. With prison welding instructors wanting to refresh the skills they pass on, BOC offered the perfect solution – hands-on training delivered as part of a cost-saving contract. Read more about these training courses
- European legislation is leading to a phase-out of HCFC refrigerant gases. This poses a number of challenges for the coldstore sector. BOC's specialist refrigeration expertise has helped IBL Cold Stores identify and implement a cost-effective solution. Read more about BOC & IBL Cold Stores
- Hydrogen fuel cell technology offers a sustainable transport solution. Using hydrogen to produce the electricity which powers the engine, this 'in car' capability has the potential to bring about a step-change in personal mobility. It is a concept supported by BOC, and successfully demonstrated by the Riversimple local car. Read more about BOC & the Riversimple local car
- The move to a low carbon economy calls for alternative fuel sources. Hydrogen fuel cell power generation delivers this. It brings the benefits of hydrogen, the world's cleanest fuel, to high-efficiency, low power electrical appliances such as TVs, traffic management systems and surveillance cameras. Hymera, a BOC innovation, marks a critical step-change in the transition to clean, off-grid electrical power generation and a greener environment. Read more about BOC & Hymera
- The performance of robotic welding systems can be compromised by distortion that occurs in the welded structure. Manufacturers have long been seeking a Low Stress No Distortion (LSND) welding system that strengthens the structure without interfering in the welding process. BOC has developed a solution to the problem employing cryogenic cooling technology. Read more about BOC & the MALCO process
- Safe, secure cryogenic storage of samples is a key factor in reducing risk and driving growth for today's multi-million pound medical research environment. Many research organisations wish to maintain their focus on what they do best and outsource their storage needs to a specialist centre. The BOC Cryobank provides just this resource - perfect, ultra-low temperature storage for the UK's leading experts in cryogenics. Read more about the BOC Cryobank
- BOC's Customer Service Centre (CSC) has been awarded the nationally recognised Investors in People (IIP) Silver Standard. The Silver Standard is awarded to only one percent of the organisations assessed, placing CSC in a lead role in terms of Best Practice within The Linde Group and demonstrating its commitment to people excellence.
