Gas Applications



Hydrogen
Hydrogen is used to enhance performance of petroleum products by removing organic sulfur from crude oil, as well as to convert heavy crude to lighter, easier to refine, and more marketable products. Hydrogen's use in reformulated gas products helps refiners meet Clean Air Act requirements.

Oxygen
Oxygen is used to reduce viscosity and improve flow in oil and gas wells, to increase capacity of fluid catalytic cracking plants as well as to facilitate use of heavier feedstocks, and to reduce sulfur emissions in refineries.

Nitrogen
Nitrogen is used to improve recovery and maintain pressure in oil and gas reservoirs; to blanket storage tanks and product loading/unloading; to purge pipelines; and to strip volatile organic compound (VOCs) from waste streams or cool vent streams. Controlling VOC emissions helps refiners comply with Clean Air Act requirements.

Diving Gases
Diving operations rely on us for helium, helium/oxygen, oxygen and nitrogen/oxygen mixtures, as well as air and carbon dioxide adsorbents for decompression systems. We provide these quality gases and mixtures through a wide variety of supply systems. Our customers can choose from eight-tube modules, to 25-tube skids, to 12-, 16- and 25- cylinder packs in volumes ranging from 3,450 to 62,400 standard cubic feet.

Specialty Gases

Specialty gases and equipment offer a broad range of pure gases and gas mixtures used for process control, laboratory analysis, industrial hygiene, and emissions monitoring.
