Industrial Gases

Industries have a continuous need for different gases for different purposes all the time. Without gases, they would be out of fuel, a lot of everyday tasks would stop working. Hence we provide lots of industries with high quality gases, according to their uses in the different sectors of the industries.

Acetylene

Chemical Symbol: C2H2
Synonyms: Ethine, Ethyne

Description:

Acetylene is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. It is a colorless, highly flammable gas and slightly lighter than air. Acetylene of 100 percent purity is odorless, but the commercial purity generated from calcium carbide has a distinctive, garlic like odor.
Acetylene can be liquefied and solidified with relative ease. However, in both the liquid and solid states, acetylene is shock sensitive and explodes with extreme violence when ignited. A mixture of gaseous acetylene with air or oxygen in certain proportions explodes if ignited.

Uses:

Acetylene is most commonly used for chemical synthesis. It is also used as a raw material for a whole series of organic compounds, among them acetaldehyde, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, acetone, and vinyl chloride. Furthermore, acetylene is used oxyacetylene welding, cutting, heat treating, and so on. Small amounts are used for lighting purposes in buoys, beacons, and similar devices

Hydrogen

Chemical Symbol: H2
Synonyms:  

Description:

Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, flammable and nontoxic gas. It is the lightest element and can be found in the atmosphere with the concentration of about 0.5 ppm. The gas burns in air with an almost invisible light blue color. When mixed with air or oxygen, it has an ignition temperature between 566°C and 579°C. Hydrogen is flammable in dry air when the mixture consists of 4.0 percent to 75.0 percent hydrogen, and between 4.6 percent and 93.9 percent when mixed with oxygen. At temperatures of less than -253°C, hydrogen is in liquid form and its weight is only one fourteenth of the weight of water.

Uses:

Hydrogen is used by refineries, petrochemical and bulk chemical facilities for hydrotreating, catalytic reforming, and hydrocracking. Hydrogen is used for production of chemicals, such as dyes, catalysts, flavors, fragrances, pesticides, halogen organics, plastic and synthetic fibers, and petroleum. It can also be used for heat treating, metal production, welding and cutting. Food companies use hydrogen to hydrogenate fats, oils and fatty acids for the products such as oleomargarine, soap and industrial greases and oils. In addition, hydrogen is used by glass manufacturers in the production of glass and by electronics manufacturers for production of semiconductors. Liquid hydrogen is used as a fuel for missiles and rockets, as well as in laboratory research.

Nitrogen

Chemical Symbol: N2
Synonyms: LIN

Description:

Nitrogen is colorless, odorless, tasteless, nontoxic, inert and represents 78.08 percent of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is nonflammable and does not support combustion. It is slightly soluble in water and most other liquids. Nitrogen does not conduct heat and electricity well.

Uses:

Nitrogen has a wide range of uses. As a gas it is used for heat treatment, blanketing of oxygen sensitive liquids, production of semiconductor electronic components, blowing of foam type plastic, food processing and packing, inhibition of aerobic bacteria growth and magnesium reduction of aluminum scrap. It is also used for pressurizing aircraft tires and emergency bottles to operate landing gear, as well as purging of air-conditioners, refrigerators, electronic devices, high-voltage compression cables and pipelines. Liquid nitrogen is used for freezing of perishable foods, deflashing of rubber tires, cooling of concrete, cooling of electronic equipment, pulverizing plastics and simulating the conditions in outer space. Furthermore, liquid nitrogen can be used for freezing of liquids in pipelines for emergencies, low temperature stabilization and hardening of metals, preservation of blood, sperm and other biologicals and refrigeration of foods, as well as in missile and space programs.

LPG

Chemical Symbol:  
Synonyms: LPG, LP Gas, or Auto Gas
Description:  
Uses:

Liquefied Petroleum Gas, is a mixture of  hydrocarbon gases used as a fuel in heating appliances and vehicles and increasingly replacing chlorofluorocarbons  as an aerosol propellant and a refrigerant to reduce damage to the ozone layer.

Verities of LPG bought and sold include mixes that are primarily propane, mixes that are primarily butane, and more commonly mixes including both propane (60%) and butane (40%), depending on the season. In winter more propane, in summer more butane. Propylene and butylenes are usually also present in small concentration. A powerful odorant, Ethanethiol, is added also that leaks can be detected easily. The international standard is EN 589.
