High-Purity Oxygen Gas Supplier for Industrial & Medical Use

Reliable Oxygen Gas Cylinders & Bulk Supply

Oxygen is a vital gas that supports life, industry, and technological advancements. A lot of us know it as a life-supporting gas due to its essential role in respiration. Industrially, things are a little different for the gas we need to breathe.

In factories, oxygen is produced using air separation techniques such as cryogenic distillation, pressure swing adsorption (PSA), and membrane technology. Cryogenic distillation is the most common method for large-scale production, where air is liquefied and separated by boiling points. PSA technology is used for smaller-scale production, selectively absorbing nitrogen to leave oxygen-rich air. Membrane separation is efficient for compact applications, often used in hospitals and industrial sites.

Oxygen has a broad range of applications across multiple industries. Many of us are aware of how it’s used for respiratory support in hospitals and emergency care. It is also used in hyperbaric oxygen therapy for wound healing and decompression sickness, and even for anaesthesia. In the steel and metallurgical industries, oxygen is essential in blast furnaces to enhance combustion efficiency and help the oxidation of impurities in steel production. It also plays a key role in chemical processing, particularly in petroleum refining and hydrocarbon conversion.

For the aerospace and aviation sectors, oxygen is vital for life support in aircraft and space missions. Apart from that, did you know that liquid oxygen is a fundamental component in rocket propulsion, providing the oxidiser needed for fuel combustion in space? The pulp and paper industry relies on oxygen for bleaching processes, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to chlorine-based chemicals. Oxygen is also widely used in wastewater treatment, supporting the breakdown of organic pollutants through aerobic bacterial processes. The mining sector benefits from oxygen’s role in leaching and oxidation processes, improving metal extraction efficiency.

Safe storage of oxygen includes using oxygen-compatible equipment, securing cylinders in an upright position, and avoiding contact with oils or greases. Oxygen leaks should be detected using soapy water rather than open flames, and personnel should wear fire-resistant clothing and adhere to strict safety protocols.
