Large Industry  [ Return to  Business lines in Romania  ]

• Improvement of steelworks productivity, energy efficiency and emission levels using oxygen
• Transportation of pulverized coal to furnaces using nitrogen,
• Stainless steel manufacture using argon.

The chemical industry consumes large quantities of air gases, as well as
hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
The latter is used in the manufacture of polyurethane and polycarbonates, which are both used in everyday life.

Hydrogen is used more frequently by refineries to desulfurize fuels and crack heavy hydrocarbons.
Oxygen is used to stimulate certain elements or to gasify petroleum residues. It is also used to transform natural gas into fuels or methanol.
