What Are The Notable Uses Of A Commercial Oxygen Generator?

Oxygen is the gas that all humans and creatures inhale to stay alive. Apart from this life-supporting action, this highly reactive gas is also needed for several commercial purposes. Many industries use oxygen to boost the production and quality of their products. They need bulk quantities of oxygen, which cannot be fulfilled by oxygen cylinders. So, these industries need onsite Oxygen Generators. MVS Engineering supplies the best quality commercial oxygen generator, which is easy to operate and produces pure oxygen continuously.

The following are the industries that need pure oxygen regularly. So, they prefer to install a commercial oxygen plant to meet their requirements without any hindrance.

 

Steel and ther metal manufacturing

Iron is treated under high temperature in blast furnaces, to manufacture steel. Oxygen increases the temperature of the furnace when introduced inside instead of air. As coke is the main fuel used in such furnaces, oxygen reacts with unused carbon to form carbon dioxide that is released. Other metals, like copper, lead, and zinc also need oxygen for processing in oxy-fuel burners. Oxygen is also rapidly used in welding and cutting metals through gas cutters.

Paper manufacturing

Paper pulp needs to be bleached before turning it into paper. Chlorine was previously used as the bleaching agent, which is now replaced by oxygen to minimize water pollution. Oxygen is also used in soda recovery boilers and lime kilns, which are needed in paper manufacturing. Oxygen gas reacts with harmful sulfides, reducing air pollution to a large extent.

Chemical industries and petroleum refineries

Many chemicals, like ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, are formed through oxidation, for which pure oxygen gas is essential. Synthesis gas is also formed by the oxidation of carbon-rich waste products and biomass, reducing pollution of the surroundings. Oxygen is used in petroleum refineries to boost the capacity of production units, to restore catalysts through oxidation, and to remove sulfur from crude oil.

Healthcare

Pure oxygen gas is supplied to patients in critical condition and admitted to hospitals or healthcare centers for treatment. Oxygen reaches directly to patients through pipelines during surgeries and in intensive care units.
