Aquaculture, also known as aqua farming, is the discipline of commercially farming aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and aquatic plants. Aquaculture involves cultivating freshwater and saltwater populations under controlled conditions—in contrast to commercial fishing, which is the harvesting of...
Strength across all oxygen markets as the US pulls out of the recession has led to greater demand for oxygen. Major gas producers in the US have been concentrating on on-site oxygen and nitrogen for new large volume applications such...
Since Air Products (www.airproducts.com) first began locating its industrial gas facilities adjacent to its customers in the 1940s, the concept of “on-site” has typically been associated with bulk gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, or hydrogen. Now, however, for the first time,...
Oxygen has played a key role in the treatment of drinking water and wastewater for over 40 years. The estimated current global consumption of oxygen in these applications is around 15,000 tons per day. In the US, about 20...
Drinking water requires the precise application of the oxygen molecule in several parts of a water treatment process train. On-site oxygen generators can be used for odor control applications and to generate ozone for disinfection or remediation. Oxygen also plays...
When, one by one, the miners trapped in Chile were finally hoisted slowly to the surface in a specially designed escape capsule, they were breathing oxygen supplied by four Luxfer L7X one cubic-meter cylinders, donated by Indura, a...
When we go to the hospital or order oxygen for home healthcare, most of us go on faith that the gas is safe. Few, if any, patients worry about gas contaminants, like moisture, which can lead to corrosion within the...
PCI (www.pcigases.com), a Californiabased on-site industrial gas manufacturer, was founded in 1984 to manufacture cryogenic air separation devices for operation in extreme and remote environments. Since then, PCI has continually expanded its technology platforms to include nitrogen membrane systems and Vacuum Swing Adsorption...
OXYFUEL COMBUSTION IN THE STEEL AND METALS INDUSTRY The most frequent use of oxyfuel combustion in the steel and metals industries is to enhance the melting process in electric arc and rotary furnace processes. Here, conventional oxyfuel provides substantially raised...
In this report, we describe the very large and dynamic oxygen and nitrogen business in the US on a macro level from both an historical and a current perspective. This represents a departure from past CryoGas International reports that have focused more on...
