The tank change-out process requires minimal time commitment from the buyer. A site survey will be conducted at each site to thoroughly understand each site’s bulk gas needs and gas application. A transition plan will be submitted for approval to the using site that is non-disruptive and efficient. Airgas will coordinate the installation change-out date to ensure the existing tank’s inventory levels are nearly depleted thereby not wasting any product already purchased. The equipment change-out will be coordinated during a time frame when gas service is not required or when service interruption is minimal. Airgas can provide interim gas supply during the equipment change-out if there are no opportunities for an interruption of gas service supply.
