Reliable Gas Supply for Your Refinery Needs

Hydrogen is widely used in refining processes to remove impurities found in crude oil such as sulfur to meet stringent product and environmental specifications. Removing these components allows gasoline and diesel to burn cleaner and thus makes hydrogen a critical component in the production of cleaner fuels needed by efficient internal combustion engines.
Oxygen enrichment can help increase capacity or give refiners the ability to process crude blends of various densities and sulfur content.
Nitrogen does not react with most materials, making it an excellent blanketing and purging gas that can be used to protect valuable products from harmful contaminants. One of its most important uses is to eliminate flammability risks in reactor vessels and storage tanks.

Read about how hydrogen has helped the changing needs of the oil refining market including solutions for reducing cost though advanced hydrogen management, capacity revamps, and over-the-fence hydrogen supply.

Read how oxygen enrichment technology can optimize the operating flexibility in refineries and maximize profitability.

Hydrogen

Valued for its reactive and protective properties, and used by many industries such as electronics, foods, glass, chemicals, refining and more can benefit from its unique properties to improve quality, optimize performance and reduce costs.
Nitrogen

Useful as a gas, for its inert properties, and as a liquid for cooling and freezing. Virtually any industry can benefit from its unique properties to improve yields, optimize performance and make operations safer.
氧

除了將其用作醫療保健應用的呼吸氣體外, 與其他燃料相比, 其強大的氧化特性還可提高產量、優化性能、降低成本並減少碳足跡, 從而使許多行業受益。
