Processes that use Oxygen
Oxygen’s unique property in supporting life leads to its use in:
a) Life support
Resuscitation, artificial ventilation, anesthesia, cardiovascular stabilization and infection reduction in hospitals and emergency vehicles.
We also supply breathing oxygen for diving. Health and safety – for use in medical centres and first aid packs. Cutting – oxy-fuel processes for cutting steel up to two meters thick.
b) Welding
Oxy-fuel processes for welding carbon and alloy steels, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, nickel, and copper alloys. Coating – oxy-fuel processes for producing hard, wear-resistant coatings on metal components.
c) Water treatment
Maintaining micro-organisms in the activated sludge process for wastewater treatment (VITOX) and reducing sewage odors by maintaining sewage in an aerobic state (PRIMOX).
e) Combustion
Increasing furnace productivity using oxygen enrichment, oxygen lancing or oxy-fuel burners.
f) Packaging
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for fruit and vegetable respiration, colour retention in red meat and to avoid anaerobic conditions in white fish.
g) Aquaculture
Oxygenation of water to boost fish-farm performance and sustain live fish during transportation.
h) Rivers and lakes regeneration
Oxygen injection to correct depletion due to pollution and stagnation. Oxygen will not burn but vigorously supports the combustion of many substances.
Safety Information
Oxygen is not toxic at atmospheric pressures. Oxygen deficient atmospheres cause asphyxiation and death. Oxygen enrichment is just as dangerous and difficult to detect.
Clothing and flammable materials will burn violently if impregnated with oxygen. Oxygen reacts violently with oil and may spontaneously burn with an explosive force.
