RANCH CRYOGENICS, INC.
BLACKSTONE, IL

Ranch Cryogenics, Inc., founded by Mike Duffy in Blackstone, Florida, on December 14, 2017, specializes in the relocation and assistance of gas separation plants across a global clientele. With origins tracing back to his extensive career starting in Milwaukee, WI, in 1966, Mr. Duffy's expertise grew through roles at Northern Gases encompassing truck and trailer mechanics to air separation plant management. The company emerged from Mike Duffy's vision to serve customers needing plant relocations without the time or budget for new constructions. Since its inception, Ranch Cryogenics has successfully relocated facilities throughout the United States and internationally to countries such as Korea, Turkey, Papua New Guinea, China, Malaysia, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, Peru, Canada, and Mexico. The firm also extends services like operating assistance nationwide and offers design and installation of control panels, analyzer panels, equipment skids, and has ventured into providing operational support for gas production plants where expertise is lacking. Understanding the fundamental process involved in liquefying and distilling air to separate nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, Ranch Cryogenics possesses proficiency with Air Separation Units (ASUs). These units involve compressors often powered by electric motors with interstage coolers, and expanders that provide necessary refrigeration for the production of liquids through a series of compression and energy transfer stages. The range of products offered by Ranch Cryogenics includes on-site gas generators producing gaseous outputs at various purity levels, merchant plants offering liquid gases like LOX, LIN, and LAR, combined liquid and gas units for piggyback applications, and dedicated nitrogen liquefiers. The company's latest offerings as a merchant entity include systems capable of generating up to 307 short tons per day of liquid products. Ranch Cryogenics operates from its base at 32580 North 1500 East Road, Blackstone, IL (though incorporated in Florida), and can be reached via phone. The company's commitment to cutting edge technology is underscored by the integration of ACD Turbo Expanders and state-of-the-art cryogenic product loading pumps, enabling efficient operations that meet demand through flexible gas production adjustments. Led by Michael F. Jr. Duffy as director alongside other family members in pivotal roles such as President and Director, Ranch Cryogenics continues to adapt its services to the evolving industry, emphasizing reliability and cost-effectiveness for industrial gas producers looking to minimize reliance on purchased products.
