Oxygen
Driving Excellence Through Quality...

Oxygen (O2) an active, life-sustaining component of the atmosphere; makes up 20.94% by volume or 23% by weight of the air we breathe. It is colorless, odorless and tasteless.

Oxygen is the most widely occurring element on Earth. As it forms compounds with virtually all chemical elements except the noble gases, most terrestrial oxygen is bound with other elements in compounds such as silicates, oxides, and water. Oxygen is also dissolved in rivers, lakes, and oceans. Molecular oxygen occurs almost entirely in the atmosphere

Oxygen as the second-largest volume industrial gas. Aside from its chemical name O2, may be referred to as compressed oxygen when produced and delivered in gaseous form, or as LOX or LO when in its cryogenic liquid form.

Industrial Benefits includes

• In Multi-industry, Oxygen is used with fuel gases in gas welding, gas cutting, oxygen scarfing, flame cleaning, flame hardening, and flame straightening. In gas cutting, the oxygen must be of high quality to ensure a high cutting speed and a clean cut
• The Steel industries remains the largest users of Oxygen( Metal Manufacturer).
• Chemical, Pharmaceuticals and Petroleum : Oxygen is used as a raw material in many oxidation processes. Very large quantities of oxygen are also used in coal gasification — to generate a synthesis gas that can be used as a chemical feedstock or precursor for more easily- transported and easily-used fuels.
• Glass and Ceramics Industry Uses : Conversion of combustion systems from air-fuel to oxy-fuel (and construction of new furnaces and tanks around this technology) results in better control of heating patterns, higher furnace efficiencies (lower fuel consumption) and reduction in particulate and NOx emissions
• Pulp and Paper Maufacturing: Oxygen is increasingly important as a bleaching chemical.
• Health Care :Oxygen is used during surgery, intensive care treatment, inhalation therapy, etc. High standards of purity and handling must be maintained. It assists with respiratory problems for patients, saving lives and increasing patient comfort
• Environmental uses : In waste-water treatment, the use of oxygen instead of air permits increased capacity in existing treatment plants. Injecting oxygen into sewers, reduces hydrogen sulfide formation, which results in reduced corrosion and odor. Also,Ozone is used for drinking water treatment, in particular when alternatives, such as chlorine, are undesirable

Refilling of both Industrial and Medical Oxygen are done at our factory in Kolkata
