Description:
Oxygen (CO2, gas at 00/1 matm., 1.429g./l, crit. Pressure, 49.7 Matm.) is a colorless, odourless, and tasteless gas, somewhat heavier than air. It is one of the most active elements and plays on essential part in the respiration of living cells and in combustion. Oxygen is required for cutting and welding of steel materials for manufacturing and repairs is various industries. Ship repairing, fabrication works etc. require large amounts of oxygen. It is also required for medication purpose and deep sea driving. Nitrogen gas used in the production of ammonia which in turn is used for the manufacture of urea and ammonium phosphate, which are fertilizers of great use. It is used for blanketing hazardous chemicals which will an inert atmosphere. Liquid Nitrogen is also used to maintain low temperatures during the transportation of frozen food. Oxygen and Nitrogen are the most important industrial gases. At present there are 190 units in the country. As the quantity of oxygen required in integrated steel plants is huge. The excess oxygen is compressed and bottled in steel cylinders and supplied to engineering industries. There is a very good market for new entrepreneur.

Description:
Oxygen and nitrogen are the most important industrial gases finding its application in large quantities in metal fabrication and cutting industries. It is used in electric arc steel furnaces for decarbonisation and scrap matting. Oxygen is also used in medical treatment and for breathing at high altitude flying. Some quantities of liquid oxygen are used in explosives, chemicals and petrochemicals industries as an oxidizing and catalytic agent. As the quantity of oxygen required in integrated steel plants is huge, the excess of oxygen is compressed and bottled in steel cylinders and supplied to engineering industries such as manufacture of machine tools, industrial machinery, automobiles and component manufacturers, fabricators of chemical plants, storage tanks, and furniture and building elements. Nitrogen gas is used in the production of ammonia which in turn is used for the manufacture of urea and ammonium phosphate, which are fertilizers of great use. Nitrogen gas is used for blanketing hazardous chemicals which is an inert atmosphere. Nitrogen gas is used for purging purposes. Nitrogen gas is used for the purification of other gases with extremely low boiling points, such as hydrogen scrubbing. High purity nitrogen is used in strip steel annealing prior to tin plating. Human blood and cattle sperm cells are pressured by using nitrogen liquid freezing method. Large quantities of liquid nitrogen are employed in the preservation of food by rapid freezing. Liquid nitrogen is also used to maintain low temperatures during the transportation of frozen food. The demand of oxygen and nitrogen gas will increase in future, so new entrepreneurs may venture into this project

Description:
Liquid oxygen must be handled with all the precaution required for safety with any cryogenic fluid. Gaseous Oxygen is authorized for shipment in cylinders tank and car and tube trailers. Liquid Oxygen is shipped as a cryogenic fluid in insulated cylinders insulated tank trucks and insulated tank cars. Gaseous Nitrogen is non corrosive and inert and may consequently contained in system constructed of any common metals and designed to withstand safely the pressure involved. At the temperature of liquid nitrogen ordinary carbon steels and most alloy steels lose their ductility and are considered unsatisfactory for liquid nitrogen service. Uses and Applications Applications of Oxygen include: It is used extensively in medicine for therapeutic purposes for suscitation in asphyxia and with other gases in anaesthesia. It is also used in high altitude flying deep sea diving, and as both an inhalant and power source in U.S apaces program. Industrial applications include its very wide utilization with acetylene, hydrogen and other fuel gases for such purposes as metal cutting welding hardening scaring cleaning and dehydrating. Oxygen helps increase the capacity of steel and iron furnaces on growing scale in the steel industry. One of its major uses is in the production of synthesis gas from coal natural gas or liquid fuel. Synthesis gas is in turn use to make gasoline methanol and ammonia. Oxygen is similarly employed in manufacturing some acetylene through partial oxidation of the hydrocarbons in methane. It is also used in the production of nitric acid, ethylene and other compounds in the chemical industry. Applications of Nitrogen include: Agitation of colour film solution in photographic processing, blanketing of oxygen sensitive liquids and of volatile liquid chemicals The deaeration of oxygen sensitive liquids The degassing of non ferrous metals It is used in food processing and packing, Inhibition of aerobic bacteria growth Magnesium reduction of aluminium scrap Pressurization of air craft tires and emergency bottles to open landing gear Purging and filling of electronic devices The purging and fillings of pipelines and related instruments and the treatment of alkyd resins in the paint industry etc. Market Survey The industrial gases industry covers several products oxygen nitrogen dissolved acety lene argon carbon dioxide helium and hydrogen. These find applications in various industries such as steel light and heavy engineering, petrochemicals and fertilisers chemicals and pharma ceuticals and food processing besides metal cutting and welding. Oxygen is a vital requirement in medicare. Steel and downstream industries use nearly three fourths of the output.Unlike western countries, where the industrial gases are mostly produced by gas companies and supplied to large industrial consumers in India most of the large consumers of gases have set up their own captive plants. With the expansion in steel petrochemicals automobiles and glass Industries, the demand for merchant gas market is on the rise. Accordingly, the industry is structured into two broad segments (a) the captive units set up by the users or by a gas producing company at the site of the user and (b) the independent market producers supplying gas in bulk or in cylinders to the users.

Description:
Oxygen (CO2,gas at O0/1 matm. 1.429 g./l, crit. pressure, 49.7 matm.) is a colorless, odourless, and tasteless gas, somewhat heavier than air. It is one of the most active elements and plays on essential part in the respiration of living cells and in combustion. Nitrogen is the chemical element with the symbol N and atomic number 7. It was first discovered and isolated by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford in 1772, nitrogen is the principal gas in air (78%).
