Industrial grade Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is commonly used in metal fabrication as a cost-effective shielding gas in arc welding applications
Carbon dioxide finds application in the metal industry for environment protection, notably in fume suppression within Electric Arc Furnaces and during non-ferrous metallurgy processes.
Carbon Dioxide is also used in the oil and gas sector for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Its miscibility with heavy oils leads to a reduction in their viscosity, improving extraction. Additionally, CO2 can be employed to restore pressure in depleted oil reservoirs.
In waste and water treatment, C02 is used to control pH and is a very good alternative to sulfuric or hypochlorous/hydrochloric acid as it is economic, safe and environmental friendly.
In desalination plants, carbon dioxide is combined with lime for the production of potable water.
