Application of oxygen concentrator in industrial field

1. Application of oxygen concentrator in metallurgical industry and heavy machinery production

Oxygen is needed in the metallurgy industry and the production of heavy machinery to raise the temperature of the furnaces that melt the metals to make the desired items. The welding process also requires oxygen to increase the speed at which it joins metal parts. Take steel mills as an example. Steelmaking needs to consume oxygen. At this time, if we use an oxygen concentrator to make oxygen on site and blow in high-purity oxygen, the oxygen will quickly react with carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, etc. This will not only reduce the carbon content of the steel, but also help impurities such as phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon. In addition, the heat generated during oxidation is sufficient to maintain the temperatures required during steelmaking. Therefore, blowing high-purity oxygen not only shortens the smelting time, but also improves the quality of the finished steel. It is no exaggeration to say that oxygen concentrators play an important role in metallurgy.

2. Application of oxygen concentrator in glass industry and paper industry

The glass industry requires oxygen to fire furnaces at high temperatures to melt the raw materials needed to produce glass products. Oxygen concentrators act as combustion aids, supplying oxygen directly to these furnaces through pipes.

The paper industry requires oxygen to bleach pulp to form white paper. Delignification of wood also requires oxygen to break down lignin and other plant enzymes to form paper.

3. Application of oxygen concentrator in chemical industry

In the process of chemical production, oxygen-enriched air can be used instead of ordinary air to improve the output and quality of products. Oxygen-enriched air can produce dozens of chemical products such as carbon black and formaldehyde. The application of oxygen concentrators in the chemical industry is mainly to enhance production. Such as oxygen for organic chemical industry, oxygen for acid production, high-pressure oxygen gasification, oxygen injection gasification of lean coal fields, petroleum protein oxygen production, fuel cell production, crude oil cracking, natural gas alternative gas production, flame spraying crushed rock, Claus sulfur recycling etc.

Besides, oxygen concentrator also plays important role in water treatment, aquaculture and so on. Welcome to inquiry longfian to know more Knowledge of oxygen.
