Argon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and nontoxic gas. Argon, along with helium, neon, krypton, xenon and radon is also known as a "rare" gas. Argon forms no known chemical compounds. The gas is 1.38 times heavier than air and is slightly soluble in water.

Argon is present in the atmosphere at a concentration of 0.93%. Argon is recovered from air in an Air Separation Unit (ASU) where it is drawn off as a cryogenic liquid at about -303°F. Argon can then be distributed as a cryogenic liquid or as a gas in cylinders.

Applications for argon often utilize its inert properties for protection against the oxidizing effect of air. Argon is widely used as a blanketing or shielding gas in metallurgy and arc welding and cutting. Argon is also used to fill incandescent and fluorescent lamps.

Nitrogen is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It is nonflammable, will not support combustion and is not life-supporting. The gas is slightly lighter than air and is only slightly soluble in water. When liquid nitrogen is vaporized and then heated it consumes a large amount of heat, making it an ideal coolant.

Nitrogen is present in the atmosphere at a concentration of 78.1%. Nitrogen is recovered from air in an Air Separation Unit (ASU) where it is drawn off as a cryogenic liquid at about -321°F. Nitrogen can then be distributed as a cryogenic liquid or as a gas in cylinders. Nitrogen can also be generated onsite, using various techniques.

Nitrogen has many commercial and technical applications. Liquid nitrogen's cooling properties are used to freeze food, blood and other materials; modify metal properties; control reaction temperatures; cool concrete and simulate cold operating conditions. Nitrogen gas is used to blanket, purge or stir many chemicals or molten metals. The gas can also be used to pressurize devices or pneumatically convey materials, while keeping out contaminates like oxygen or water.

Liquefied gases are transported in tank trucks with trailers and stored in cryogenic vessels. These tanks are available in various sizes, ranging from 5000 to 13,000 ltrs, to suit the customer's requirement. The tanks have an inner vessel or "liquid container" which is surrounded and supported by an outer vessel or "vacuum jacket". The space between the two is filled with a natural material that provides insulation and inertness.

The delivery system includes piping which carries gas from the inner vessel through the vacuum jacket to the outside, controlled by gauges and valves mounted outside of the tank. Other relevant accessories such as evaporators and remote tank-level monitoring are also available as required. An uninterrupted supply of either liquid or gas is thus assured at all times.

Oxygen, nitrogen and argon are recovered from air using a cryogenic method developed by Linde Germany. Particulates are removed from the incoming air, which is then repeatedly compressed and cooled. Water, hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide are then removed. With further processing, the air eventually becomes a liquid and the individual gases are separated by distillation

Oxygen is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that supports life and combustion. All elements, except rare gases, react with oxygen, over a wide range of temperatures, to form oxides. Oxygen is 1.1 times heavier than air and is slightly soluble in water.

Oxygen is present in the atmosphere at a concentration of 21.0%. Oxygen is recovered from air in an Air Separation Unit (ASU) where it is drawn off as a cryogenic liquid at about -298°F. Oxygen can then be distributed as a cryogenic liquid or as a gas in cylinders. Oxygen can also be generated onsite, using various techniques.

The major uses of oxygen are based on its combustion-sustaining, oxidizing and life-supporting attributes. Whether used directly or to enrich combustion air, oxygen is widely used with fuel gases in furnaces, smelters, kilns, welding and metal cutting. Oxygen is used in chemical production as a raw material and in pulp manufacturing as a bleaching agent. Most importantly, oxygen is used for medical reasons to save and protect life.
