Universal Air Products

Application & Uses

Gas Oxygen

Oxygen is widely applied in the metal industries in conjunction with acetylene and other fuel gases for metal cutting, welding, scarfing, hardening, cleaning and melting.

Automotive & Transportation Equipment

Oxygen is used as a plasma cutting gas, as an auxiliary gas for laser cutting and is sometimes added in small amounts to shielding gases.

Chemicals

In its purest form, oxygen is used in many important chemicals such as ethylene oxide and titanium dioxide. It is also used to increase the production capacity of oxidation processes.

Energy

The use of oxygen instead of air can increase capital yield and efficiency in many industries and enables carbon capture processes. It is often used in boilers and heaters, industrial fermenters and gasification processes to improve productivity.

Glass

Oxygen, which is an industrial gas with the power to improve productivity, is used to improve combustion in glass furnaces and reduce NOx emissions.

Steel Plants

In BOF, Blast Furnace & DRI. In the iron & Steel Industry oxygen is mainly used for air enrichment in the blast furnace, decarburization in the basic oxygen furnace, & decarburization +post- cumbustion in the electric arc furnace. Oxygen is also used in other plants like Sinter plants & Reheating furnaces.

Hospital

We are a long-standing supplier of IP grade oxygen and bulk oxygen storage equipment for medical facilities, which are typically used for the treatment and prevention of hypoxemia and hypoxia.

Metal Production

As an industrial gas, oxygen is used to replace or enrich air, including to increase combustion efficiency in the production of ferrous and non-ferrous metal. In the non-ferrous industry (Ai, Cu, Pb ...). Oxygen is used at different stages of production (smelters, convertors, scrap melting etc)

Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology

Fundamental to cell development applications, oxygen is used in fermenters and bioreactors.

Food Oxygen

Food Oxygen is used to oxygenate fish-breading tanks. It maintain colors of fresh red meat products & Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP). Oxygen prevents anaerobic conditions of fresh fish & sea food products with Modified Atmosphere Packaging(MAP).

Pulp and Paper

As an industrial gas, oxygen helps meet strict environmental regulations through the use of delignification, oxidative extraction and wastewater treatment.

Welding and Metal Fabrication

Oxygen is used as a plasma cutting gas, as an auxiliary gas for laser cutting and is sometimes added in small amounts to shielding gases.

Refining

Oxygen is used extensively in refineries to increase the capacity of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) plants and Sulphur Recovery Units (SRU), and to improve wastewater treatment operations.

Electronics components

Electronics components oxygen is used as reactant in CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition), & ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) for depositing oxides. Oxygen is used to remove photoresists & amorphous carbon hard masks. Oxygen is used to grow SiO2 films on Si.

Water treatment: Industrial, Residual and Municipal

Oxygen is used as an industrial gas that can complement and even replace the air in the aeration tank to maximize treatment capacity, minimize volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, minimize odour and foam, as well as increase flexibility. It is also used as a feed gas to generate ozone in water disinfection.

Chemicals & Fertlisers

To produce Ammonia through partial oxidation process.
To produce fuel gas from coal (high ash content) gasification process.
Oxygen is progressively used as feedback instead of air to improve the yield of chemical processes like oxidation reactions (e.g. production of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide etc )
