Industrial & Medical Oxygen Supply in Western Pennsylvania
Oxygen (O₂) is one of the most widely used industrial gases in the world and one of the most critical. As a colorless, odorless gas that vigorously supports combustion, oxygen enables manufacturers, healthcare providers, and environmental facilities throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area to operate more efficiently and safely.
Oxygen reacts readily with a wide range of compounds and elements, allowing it to outperform standard air in nearly every process application. Its reactivity to organic matter also makes it highly effective in medical therapy and organic material treatment, including wood pulp processing and wastewater management.
Industrial Applications
Steel, Metals
The steel industry is a prevalent user of Oxygen gas, creating a rich atmosphere to support combustion and draw impurities out of metal. Oxygen is a key player in the manufacture, treatment and finishing of metals, welding and cutting.
Medical Oxygen Solutions
Oxygen is readily used therapeutically and for patient care. We supply and provide medical gas to Home Oxygen Service companies. Our Medical U.S.P. gas meets all F.D.A. requirements. Read more about Greco Gas’ Medical Oxygen and Home Oxygen options.
Environmental
Used in a wastewater treatment plant aerobic system, dissolved Oxygen will help precipitate solids from the water, reduce odors and control bacteria in the treatment tanks. Wastewater aeration is considered a cost-efficient solution, helping plants meet permitting requirements without expensive upgrades and costly chemicals.
Chemical Processing
Utilizing Oxygen in various chemical and thermal applications helps with process efficiency, oxidation, decontamination, and off-gas reduction. Oxygen gas is also used to make gas mixtures including ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and for ethane cracking.
Liquid Oxygen
Gaseous Oxygen becomes a bluish liquid at -297°F (-218°C), and as a liquid, it can be a more efficient way to contain and transport Oxygen. The tubes of Liquid Oxygen are stored and later brought back up to temperature to its gaseous state for onsite use. Liquid Oxygen, or LOX as it is sometimes termed, is also used for cryogenic applications, as an oxidizer in metals and carbon, and as an oxidizer in rocket fuel.
Other
Other typical industrial applications of Oxygen include: breathing apparatus, incineration, as a fuel gas for analytical instruments and more. Oxygen comprises atmospheric gas for glass and ceramic manufacturing, biofuels, and petroleum production.
