AMCS Corporation, a New Jersey based international supplier of process and industrial gases plants, announced it has entered into an agreement with Shiprock Helium LP, an innovative US based supplier of helium, to provide an INNOVA-HEU8™ Helium Extraction Unit for its project in Northeastern Arizona. The INNOVA-HEU8™ recovers helium from a gas stream consisting mainly of nitrogen. The plant offered is based on AMCS’ proprietary state-of-the-art process technology which offers its clients superior performance through lower operating costs, high levels of automation, and higher helium recoveries. The plant is designed to produce high- purity Helium and Liquid Nitrogen. The INNOVA-HEU8™ plant design is highly packaged which significantly reduces field erection and installation time and costs. The INNOVA-HEU™ product’s sustainable design allows compliance with relevant environmental regulations by recovering green-house gases present in the feed-gas and extracting helium from the feed-gas using significantly less energy than competing processes.

AMCS Corporation, a world class process technology, equipment  and services provider to the industrial gases, energy, chemicals, semiconductor, metals, and glass business sectors, has been named once again as one of New Jersey's Fifty Fastest Growing Companies. The award program producedby NJBIZ, New Jersey's premiere business news publication, is presented by Weiser Mazars and Comcast Business and sponsored by United Healthcare, and Archer & Greiner. This is the fourth time AMCS Corporation has received the prestigious award.

The NJBIZ 50 Fastest Growing Companies awards program celebrates New Jersey's most dynamic companies who progressively contribute to the success of the state's economic growth and stability. NJBIZ and the program sponsors will honor this year's fifty fastest growing companies and announce their ranking lilve during an awards reception and ceremony on Thursday, November 12, 2015 at the Palace at Somerset Park in Somerset, New Jersey.

"We are honored for having received once again this recognition from NJBIZ. Winning this award three times previously doesn't make winning it the fourth time any easier. Lacking the rising tide of a buoyant economy, achieving and maintaining these levels of growth gets harder every year. Our people had to innovate their way into new areas and ensure alignment with trends and new opportunities; it is the ability to see the trend from the clutter of surrounding events, willingness to take the necessary calculated risks and the ability to execute well that makes the next successful step possible. We are proud of our people; we congratulate them on this achievement. We are privileged to be part of our great state of New Jersey, a good place to raise our families, grow a business, and serve our community," said Ishmael Chalabi, President and CEO of AMCS.

AMCS Corporation (AMCS) has entered into a contract to supply Grupa LOTOS, S.A. (GLSA), with an INNOVA-H2/LPG cryogenic process plant for the recovery of hydrogen, LPG, and heavy condensate from the fuel gas streams at GLSA's refinery in Gdansk, Poland. The INNOVA-H2/LPG plant will upgrade refinery streams currently sent to the fuel gas system into more valuable product streams improving profitability, reducing the need for importation of crude oil, reducing the impact of the refinery on the environment, and providing needed transportation liquid fuels to the Polish market including LPG and Gasoline. 

IAHL Corporation (Other OTC: IAHL) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Altenesol LLC, has selected AMCS Corporation (AMCSCORP.com) as the Lump Sum Turnkey (LSTK) Equipment Procurement and Construction (EPC) plant supplier for its 180,000 gallon per day Nataly 1 Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Plant in El Viajano, Colombia.

AMCS Corporation (AMCS) and Cristal USA Inc (Cristal USA) have entered into a lump sum turn-key contract whereby AMCS will supply a customized ULTRA AL-650™ Air Separation Unit (ASU) for Cristal USA’s operations in Ashtabula, Ohio. The ASU is based on current state-of-the-art technology with superior performance, high level of automation, and flexible operation. The ASU supplies 650 tons per day gaseous oxygen (GOX) and 1,000 tons per day gaseous Nitrogen (GAN) products to Cristal USA’s TiO₂ facilities via pipelines.  In addition to pipeline products, the ULTRA AL-650™ produces high-purity Liquid Argon (LAR), Liquid Oxygen (LOX), and Liquid Nitrogen (LIN) for internal use and for export to the surrounding liquid merchant market. In addition to the plant supply agreement, the parties have signed long-term agreements for merchant liquid sales and for Operating and Maintenance services (O&M) for the Ashtabula ASU.

“We are honored that Cristal has chosen AMCS as its strategic industrial gases partner. This is the second contract for ASUs and seventh contract in total which Cristal and AMCS have signed together for the supply of plants or performance of services. Using experience gained from working together on the ULTRA-O™ plant for Cristal Australia, The ULTRA-AL™ plant has been closely integrated with the TiO₂ facilities’ requirements to optimize the economic benefits of the plant for Cristal and features world-class performance in terms of specific power and operability. Our AOS team will have real-time access to AMCS’ Remote Operating Support center in NJ as well as our first line engineering team through AMCS’ ULTRA-Sentry™ remote plant support system. We have optimized the Ashtabula ASU liquid production capabilities leveraging the lower production cost gained from integration with large pipeline production capacity and plant backup needs. This flexibility in liquid production will provide our AO team with the opportunity to better match the plant’s production slate to local market needs thus maximizing returns for Cristal. Our role as a partner is to provide Cristal with a comprehensive and reliable solution to enable them to realize the significant reduction in their industrial gases cost brought about by their decision to buy a plant to make gases versus buying gases over the fence from a supplier” said Ishmael Chalabi, CEO of AMCS Corporation.

According to Emad Aljunaidi, Vice President –Supply Chain for Cristal, “Operational efficiency is critical to our facilities, and AMCS is able to provide us with an air separation unit that will help us be the most cost competitive and achieve superior performance and flexibility.
