• Industrial gases are gases used in various industrial procedures and manufacturing procedures. These gases are used for fire fighting, cutting and welding, and as calibration gas, propellant, packaging gas and in the semiconductor industry.
Oxygen: Industrial Oxygen is produced by separating the air using a cryogenic distillation process or a vacuum swing adsorption process. Oxygen is used in steelmaking, metal refining and fabrication, in petroleum processing and paper manufacturing.

Hydrogen: Hydrogen is a chemical element that is also known for its alternative nature to methane. Hydrogen is majorly used in ammonia production, which is used to produce fertilizers. It is also used in oil refining, methanol production, steel production etc.
Nitrogen: Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, nontoxic, and nonflammable gas that is generally inactive and non-reactive at room temperature. It must be firstly reacted to hydrogen for producing fertilizers. Nitrogen is a very important natural gas as it is also used to produce nitric acid, nylon, dyes and explosives which are used in mining industry.
Carbon Dioxide: This gas is widely used as an insufflation gas (blowing into the body cavity) in different minimally invasive surgical procedures such as laparoscopy, endoscopy, and arthroscopy, among others. Carbon dioxide is also used as refrigerant, for inflating life rafts and life jackets, blasting coal, foaming rubber and plastics and in carbonated beverages.
Argon: Argon is manufactured industrially through fractional distillation of liquid air. It is mostly used as an inert shielding gas in welding and other high-temperature industrial processes. It is also used in incandescent, fluorescent lighting, and other gasdischarge tubes.
Helium: Cryogenic technologies like the liquefaction of helium, helps in the manufacturing of helium which is used to provide an inert protective atmosphere for making fiber optics and semiconductors as well as for welding. It is also used to detect leaks, such as in car air-conditioning systems.
