USES AND APPLICATIONS OF OXYGEN GAS AND LIQUID OXYGEN BY INDUSTRY

​​

Aerospace & Aircraft

Our liquid oxygen has prepared and launched many bipropellant vehicles since the early 1960’s. We also supply gaseous oxygen to support rocket fuel combustion.

​

Forging

​

Automotive & Transportation Equipment

Oxygen is used as a plasma cutting gas, an assist gas for laser cutting, and is sometimes added in small quantities to shielding gases.

 

Parts Manufacturing

 

Chemicals

In its purest form, oxygen is used in many important chemicals such as ethylene oxide and titanium dioxide. It is also used to increase the production capacity of oxidation processes.

Oxygen-Enhanced Combustion
VOC Treatment & Recovery

​

Energy

Using oxygen in the place of air can increase performance and capital efficiency in many industries and can enable carbon capture processes. It is often used in boilers and process heaters, industrial fermenters and gasification processes to improve productivity.

VOC Treatment & Recovery

Glass

An industrial gas with the power to improve productivity, oxygen is used to enhance combustion in glass furnaces, and reduce NOx emissions.

Oxygen-Enhanced Combustion

​

Healthcare

We are a long time provider of USP grade oxygen and bulk oxygen storage equipment to medical facilities, frequently used to aid in the treatment and prevention of hypoxemia and hypoxia.

Respiratory Therapy & Pulmonary Function Testing

​

Metal Production

As an industrial gas, oxygen is used to replace or enrich air, ultimately increasing combustion efficiency in both ferrous and non-ferrous metal production.

VOC Treatment & Recovery

Pulp & Paper

As an industrial gas, oxygen helps you meet stringent environmental regulations through use in delignification, oxidative extraction and wastewater treatment.

Bleaching

​

Refining

Oxygen is widely used in refineries to increase the capacity of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) plants and Sulfur Recovery Units (SRU), and to improve wastewater treatment operations.

​

Water & Wastewater Treatment

Used as an industrial gas, oxygen can supplement or even replace air in the aeration basin to maximize treatment capacity, minimize VOC emissions, reduce odor and foam, and increase flexibility. It is also used as a feed gas to generate ozone for water disinfection.
