Refining and Petrochemicals

Refineries require large quantities of gases to control various processes. Selective, safe investments in the right gases, application technologies effects the refining process flow. Air Supply is one of the main gas companies supporting this industry with its Gases, Equipment and service.

  Gases related to the industry:

•   Hydrogen (H2)

  Hydrogen is essential in today’s refining industry for upgrading heavy crude oils into refined fuels, and helping to meet increasingly tighter transportation fuel specifications.



•   Nitrogen (N2)

  An industrial gas used to blanket storage tanks and purge pipelines, nitrogen can also strip Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from wastewater and reduce VOC emissions.



•   Oxygen (O2)

  Oxygen is widely used in refineries to increase the capacity of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) plants and Sulfur Recovery Units (SRU), increase process heater and hydrogen plant capacity and efficiencies, and to improve wastewater treatment operations.
