Industrial grade Oxygen is used in the automotive industry and metal fabrication for welding, cutting and heat treatment (annealing, brazing, carburizing).
In the Iron & Steel industry, oxygen is mainly used for air enrichment in the blast furnace, decarburization in the basic oxygen furnace, and decarburization+post-combustion in the electric arc furnace.
Oxygen is used for breathing tanks to oxygen masks, in civil and military aeronautics.
In waste and water management, Oxygen is used instead of air to improve wastewater purification prior to discharge (aeration in biological treatment). It helps decrease power consumption, lower VOC emissions and avoid bad smells.
Oxycombustion: using oxygen instead of air in combustion processes limits the emission of nitrogen oxides and improve the energy efficiency in glass making.
Oxygen is used in oil and gas refineries during the process of sulfur removal and for the conversion of heavy hydrocarbon fractions (in Fluid Catalytic Cracking units).
