Oxygen
Oxygen
Constituting about 20% of the atmosphere, oxygen is a colourless and odourless gas, which can be commercially produced through the liquefaction and distillation of ambient air in air separation plants. For ultra-high purity levels, a second purification process will be required.
Industries and Applications
Welding & Metal Fabrication
Valued for its reactivity and comburent properties, Industrial oxygen is used in metal manufacturing process, for welding and melt-cutting of steel materials, as well as removing impurities for iron production. With oxygen-enrichment, combustion process becomes more efficient, reducing the amount of fuel used, leading to improved energy efficiency, lower carbon dioxide emission and resulting in cost savings for industries.
Healthcare
USP grade oxygen is vital in every healthcare setting, providing high purity supplemental oxygenation for life-saving treatments and medical procedures, including resuscitation. hyperbaric therapy and respiratory support en route to hospitals or during general anaesthesia for surgeries.
Agriculture
In modern agricultural practices, particularly in aquaculture and hydroponics, maintaining adequate oxygen levels through aeration systems is essential for optimising production, ensuring crop or aquatic organisms health, and preventing environmental issues such as oxygen depletion in water bodies.
