Oxygen
Oxygen is essential to many industries. In the chemical industry, industrial grade oxygen is used to improve a large number of petrochemical processes. Oxygen is used in metal fabrication applications such as smelting, cutting and welding. Oxygen increases efficiency in a number of processes by reducing the amount of fuel used and decreasing carbon dioxide emissions.
Key Applications
Welding & Laser Cutting
Oxygen is used for laser cutting and oxy-fuel cutting in manufacturing and repair. Oxygen is used for metals welding, cutting, and heat treatment (annealing, brazing, carburising).
Oxygen increases efficiency in a number of processes by reducing the amount of fuel used and decreasing carbon dioxide emissions.
Food
Oxygen is used to oxygenate fish-breeding tanks. It maintains colour of fresh red meat products with Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP). Oxygen prevents anaerobic conditions of fresh fish and seafood products with Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP). Can also be used to accelerate fermentation (breweries)

Oxycombustion: Using oxygen instead of air in combustion processes limits the emission of nitrogen oxides and improve the energy efficiency
Chemicals
Oxygen can be used as feedstock instead of air to improve the yield of chemical processes like oxidation reactions (e.g. production of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, etc...). It is also used to debottleneck air-based processes, and brings heat through oxidation for the generation of synthesis gas (H2 + CO)
