Oxidation

Oxygen offers an alternative to oxidation that occurs with air or with other chemical oxidants and can be supplied by different methods.

Oxygen offers analternative to oxidation that occurs with air or with other chemical oxidants

With the improvement of catalysts and the development of new manufacturing methods, the use of oxygen in processes that include any oxidation reaction has extended to a wide variety of industrial processes.

Oxygen can be supplied:

1- By enriching the air.
2- By direct injection.

Greater performance
Which leads to a reduction in the consumption of raw materials.
Greater reaction rate
Which translates into an increase in production.
Easier product separation
At a lower cost.
Reduction of atmospheric emissions

As a result of the reduction in venting gases.

Greater thermal performance

And better heat transfer in applications that involve combustion.

The use of oxygen is especially appropriate in the production of the following products and processes.
